It’s an inversion of liberty to deny citizenship to people who have overcome so much, it’s a betrayal of the American experiment

Maybe is yeah, but why inland? And why not just say sea salt?

I am assuming water powder is pretty rare, it being the dehydrated form of water

Ingredient list with “inland sea water powder” highlighted

ok I have a mystery. What is the food ingredient “inland sea water powder”?

Precisely the kind of necessary historical revision enabled by the Ministry of Truth

congrats! bioRxiv has massively changed science for the better

I am once again reminded that the loudest person in the room is not necessarily the smartest or most qualified

I’d ride a Gronk vaccine party cruise

Reader, we would not like a dictator in the “land of the free and home of the brave”

I stop for questions in the middle and at the end

great paper - love to see this mechanistic connection for AU-rich elements!

Multivalent interactions with CCR4–NOT and PABPC1 determine mRNA repression efficiency by tristetraprolin - Nature Communications Deadenylation leads to mRNA decay, with PABPC1 protecting the poly(A) tail, while tristetraprolin and CCR4–NOT promote deadenylation. Here, the authors describe how these three proteins interact to re...

Delighted to present our second paper of the year. This one explores the molecular mechanism of TTP, a key post-transcriptional regulator of AU-rich mRNAs. Work led and coordinated by @filippekovic.bsky.social, in collaboration with Perry Blackshear.

I remember when OS updates were like "we will protect your computer from viruses and make it faster" and now they lead with

congrats and excited to dig in!

Translation efficiency covariation identifies conserved coordination patterns across cell types - Nature Biotechnology Matched ribosome profiling and RNA sequencing data quantify translation efficiency patterns across 140 human and mouse cell lines.

Predicting the translation efficiency of messenger RNA in mammalian cells Nature Biotechnology - A deep convolutional neural network model predicts the influence of the full-length mRNA sequence on translation efficiency.

Very excited that our most significant work, a collaboration w/ Dr. Can Cenik at UT Austin on translational gene regulation, was finally published in Nature Biotechnology in a dual set of studies:

Paper 1 -- an AI model trained to predict translation rates from mRNA sequences: rdcu.be/exN1l

Another example of spurious effects when you try to interpret RNA biology from DNA introduced into cells without confirming exactly what RNA processing is happening. Important and common confounder - great paper!

watch out for the proximity mine near that door

“With these considerations, we expect to fund through the 4th percentile.”

There it is, in black and white, the destruction of cancer research in the US.

The Tyranny of Merit: Can We Find the Common Good? Can We Find the Common Good?

apropos of nothing, a strong rec for “The Tyranny of Merit”, in which Sandel notes a putative meritocracy “fosters a sense of entitlement among the successful while humiliating those who do not succeed, ultimately undermining the common good and social solidarity”

this is an example of the so-called meritocracy that’s threatened by introspection on who gets into college and why

the vibes seem off

super curious what these people are like irl, like are they arguing with someone in the grocery store because they're buying organic (or not organic)? someone at the gas station who chooses low octane fuel? someone at a pharmacy who's getting vaccinated? or are they just internet warriors

great review on the myriad ways that genetic variation in mRNA untranslated regions can cause disease!

This July 4 I celebrate my country born by separation from a tyrannical king, with the principles that all people are created equal and that the government represents the will of the People, not a monarch. The unalienable rights of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. Let freedom ring!

Trump’s Cuts to N.I.H. Grants Are Illegal, Federal Judge Rules The judge accused the Trump administration of discriminating against minorities and L.G.B.T.Q. people and ordered the government to restore much of the funding.

A federal judge on Monday declared the Trump administration’s move to cut hundreds of grants issued by the National Institutes of Health illegal, accusing the government of discrimination against minorities and L.G.B.T.Q. individuals. nyti.ms/4jSIjOG
