Despite their small size, mutations in the mitochondrial genome can cause a number of rare genetic disorders and may even affect tumor growth in certain cancers. At JAX, researchers are studying the big impact of these tiny mutations. 🧬 https://t.co/M5FzNnkw9a

It's clear that many do not understand what @NIH-funded research does to improve health. It's time to revive a study published 10 years ago that provides incredible information about this. link in the comment Every single new drug approved by the FDA from 2010–2016 was built on

Most PhD students work 10x harder than needed. I see it daily - smart students drowning in manual tasks tools could handle. (This kills your research productivity) 8 use cases where you can cut your workload in half:
