I am super proud to share the first Andergassen Lab preprint! Here, we introduce a new framework to decode the non-coding genome, led by the outstanding work of @HasenbeinT and co-authors @sarahhoelzl, Stefan Engelhardt @TU_Muenchen @dfg_public @trr267 👇🧵

Crack the code: Have you ever wondered whether the “histone code” is only present on histones? Is it exciting that a similar “code” embedded in non-histone proteins is also involved in gene regulation? Check out our new preprint on a “histone mimic code”: https://t.co/CsQO2DoLaL

Jeg har skrevet lidt i @Altingetdk om vigtigheden af at investere i forskning, og om hvorfor jeg mener, at vi i dag ikke fordeler pengene optimalt. Vi kunne få langt mere ud af det, hvis vi gentænkte ideen med forskningsreserven. #dkpol #forskpol

i can guarantee that no bluesky team members will be sitting with a presidential candidate tonight and giving them direct access to control what you see online
Elon Musk plans to spend election night with Donald Trump, giving the former president direct access to the person controlling X, a key information platform, on what could be a chaotic evening.

Excited to share our unexpected finding: piRNA pathway designed to protect the genome from invading nucleic acids created a population of selfish small RNAs that have perpetuated themselves for the past hundred million years of mammalian evolution.
biorxiv.org
In animals, 18–35-nt piRNAs guide PIWI proteins to regulate complementary RNAs. During male meiosis, mammals produce an exceptionally abundant class of piRNAs called pachytene piRNAs. Pachytene...

Det her svarer fuldstændigt til mine erfaringer. Mange af mine studerende har allerede jobs inden de afleverer specialet - og det er i næsten alle tilfælde på grund af deres studiejobs. Når man presser det, gør man også overgangen til arbejdsmarkedet sværere
Kandidatreformen skulle lette overgangen fra uddannelse til job - men gør ifølge @evaluerdk det stikmodsatte. Mindre tid til studiejob er ifølge @B_Hartkopf en af årsagerne:

Evolutionary genetics folks, does anyone know of a data practical suitable for undergrad teaching that focuses on sex ratio theory or sex chromosome meiotic drive? Before I invest a lot of time developing one I thought I ask around first! Thanks

New synthetic biology / gene regulation lab opening in Zurich! We’re studying how to control cell state transitions – for example, making diseased cells healthy or creating new cellular functions – using systematic perturbations, single-cell genomics and machine learning. 🧵1/4
