For PhD students or postdocs who start out wanting to analyse their own high-throughput data:

Ultra-high-throughput IGH genotyping of 25 global populations reveals population-biased allelic diversity and homozygous V and D gene deletions The genes that encode our antibodies display extensive variation between individuals. Corcoran et al. developed a high-throughput sequence-based method for identifying variations in antibody genes (ImmuneDiscover). This enabled the sequencing of 2,486 individuals with 25 different population ancestries, identifying variations that are population specific and may underlie differences in disease susceptibility and vaccine response at both an individual and population level.

Great news: The #LOEWE Center Frankfurt Cancer Institute @goetheuni.bsky.social will continue to receive funding from the state of Hesse! 🎉
12 mio € for two more years – a strong signal for the importance of #translational #cancer #research in Frankfurt.
Thank you Hesse and everyone involved!!

Im @loewe-fci.bsky.social arbeiten Forschende gemeinsam an translationaler #Krebsforschung. Nun wird das #FCI weiter vom Land Hessen gefördert: Wissenschaftsminister Timon Gremmels hat heute einen Förderbescheid für die Jahre 2026/27 überreicht.

There are two complementary views of scientific advance: the "heroes" view, individual geniuses driving unique one-of-a-kind advances, and the "multiple discovery" or zeitgeist view, that the time is ripe for a discovery, and the details of who makes it first, where, and how are, well, details.(1/3)

📆 For those who haven't turned the page on their calendar yet, here's a reminder.

In November, we look at a colorful piece of microscopy art by Jadranka Macas (Institute of Neurology (Edinger Institute), University Hospital Frankfurt).

Heads up: ignore samtools dot org, similarly minimap2 dot com and likely others. It's owned by a known phishing site and while the binaries they offer look valid currently (but note they may be serving us different binaries to others), that could change.

Ie: it's not us (Samtools team)! Be warned
