Here we are, happy to join the community!

Doctors Thought They Knew What a Genetic Disease Is. They Were Wrong. Mutations that happen throughout a person’s life may contribute to disease more than we realized.

OK I am annoyed by these misleading science graphics

swiping a sequencing gel up and down?
playing a few frames of a timelapse movie ad nauseam?

nothing is explained
everything is 'spooky' and 'weird'

it all reflects the easy seduction of scientific illiteracy

I can’t wait for 1-800-ALPHAFOLD wher eyou can just shout “Siri: Met-Asp-Arg…” and it will fold for you 🤣

The PNUTS phosphatase complex controls transcription pause release Kelley et al. discover that the PNUTS phosphatase complex plays an essential role in gene transcription by controlling RNA polymerase II pause release. PNUTS achieves this through its TND, which recog...

Very excited that our paper describing a critical role for the PNUTS-PP1 phosphatase complex in transcription pause release is up online! This was a massive team effort with @edimitrova.bsky.social and the rest of the @robklose.bsky.social lab www.cell.com/molecular-ce... A short thread: (1/8)

Understanding the origin of eukaryotic cells is one of the biggest puzzles in biology 🧩 As genomic data expand, painting a clear picture of LECA requires analytical resources and a commitment to data sharing. This paper led by T. R. emphasizes a community-driven approach to tackle this complexity.
