Am increasingly excited about agent use cases that can improve biology research. This feels like one of them!
Agents are finally starting to work in biology. We’ve partnered with Anthropic and major biotech vendors - Vizgen, AtlasXOmics, Takara, 10x Genomics - to build a tool that allows scientists to steer their own analysis with natural language. Raw spatial data to publication

Molecular damage in aging https://t.co/aULesFJ7kG
🔥🔥🔥our @NatureAging Perspective Aging by the clock and yet without a program. Together with @Meyer_DH and @AlexeiMaklakov we demonstrate how the aging process is driven by molecular damage and how the selection shadow lets us age

Biological vs chronological age
What's the difference between biological aging (body and organ clocks) vs chronological age? How can the former be useful clinically? My perspective @sciam, Q&A w/ @LaurenYoung

Can you rejuvenate an old brain by giving it young immune cells? https://t.co/1WFGLJyj39
Can you rejuvenate an old brain by giving it young immune cells? 🧠 My lab @calico put it to the test. In our new study, we replaced the brain's immune cells in old mice with young ones. The result? The old brain environment forced the young cells to age RAPIDLY. A 🧵👇

Is biological rejuvenation possible? https://t.co/Tfu5wxfwhm
Is biological rejuvenation possible? Our recent preprint strives answering this question! Samir Aisin @Doc579923596039, my dad Boris Lidskii and me, investigated rejuvenation through the evolutionary lens. We found that the theoretical possibility of rejuvenation depends on

Genetic drift going mainstream https://t.co/yvs0zTLr2K
Nice to see epigenetic drift hitting mainstream. I recall how in 2008 we showed genes like HOX drift as a result of DNA repair and proposed this as a cause of aging — and almost no one knew what we were talking about https://t.co/Sv6ZK47pap
