An elegant screening strategy unveils a molecular actor that connects widespread changes in mRNA processing with a nutrient-sensing protein modification. buff.ly/31NkUE7

Base editing 🥰😍🥰

Whoaaaaa

Welcome to the club

I don't love seeing that.

OGT touches many aspects of cell and molecular biology. We show that OGT restrains the DNA demethylation activity of the TETs, and guards against the reactivation of repressed endogenous retroviruses. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @faulknerlab.bsky.social @biomodal.bsky.social @lji.org #glycotime

Excited to share our preprint on the molecular architecture of heterochromatin in human cells 🧬🔬w/ @jpkreysing.bsky.social, @johannesbetz.bsky.social, @marinalusic.bsky.social, Turoňová lab, @hummerlab.bsky.social @becklab.bsky.social @mpibp.bsky.social 🔗 Preprint here tinyurl.com/3a74uanv

Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.

With Butovsky Lab, we show that silencing TIM-3 in brain-resident immune cells prevents neurodegeneration in a mouse model of #Alzheimer’s disease. Deletion of TIM-3 in microglia enhance phagocytic clearance of toxic amyloid beta. #Immunosky🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Senator Cory Booker on the economic value of the NIH and what we stand to lose with the Trump administration destroying scientific research

Our study with Anjana Rao's lab was just published at NSMB 🥳 Shows how OGT prevents TET proteins from activating retrotransposons, particularly those in heterochromatin. Paper has 6-base and ONT sequencing data from OGT iKO mESCs, and also interesting OGT inhibitor data 👀. rdcu.be/efuho

"A GO term analysis? how is this helpful?"

Check out this great study by the Kronenberg lab on Fatty acid metabolism immunity nexus (FAMIN) aka LACC1 in T cells impacting IBD! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Science rally @ucsandiego.bsky.social -- time for good trouble...

@talusbio.bsky.social is a finalist for the Health Innovation of the Year @geekwire.com award for our TF-Scan #TeamMassSpec-based #proteomics platform for #epigenetics #DrugDiscovery! The winner is picked by community voting, please vote for us through March 23rd! lnkd.in/gNi5MVeh 🧬🧪

Come on down, nerds.

See y'all at noon!

Today seemed like a good day to cancel my Amazon Prime subscription. Long overdue, especially with their delivery trucks constantly blocking side walks, bike lanes, bus stops. Makes it hard for local businesses to compete when we let them operate with so many negative externalities for free!

STAND UP FOR SCIENCE! Join us and thousands nationwide on Friday, March 7th at noon at the UC San Diego Geisel Library / Silent Tree

We have great speakers at our @lji.org seminar series. Come join!

Come join the Inaugural LEAD day lectureship @lji.org, sponsored by the Global Autoimmune Institute

A divergent color scale on sequential data is even more reason we need to train the next gen of scientists. Blue to red is a little on the nose too. Anyway, all states will struggle regardless. Contact your representatives.

if you happen to live in a state represented by someone on the senate HELP committee, PLEASE call your senators and tell them how this will affect science (and employment) in your state! explain things to your family and friends and get them to call too!

This is a list of blockbuster drugs in 2024. Guess how many can trace their origins to NIH funded research? All of them.

15%. In 2018, 10% was tried, but it was blocked by Congress. www.nytimes.com/2017/09/11/u... www.science.org/content/arti...

I hear your frustration. Remember, this place is an echo chamber - get out and yell it to the world @cnn.com @npr.org @foxnewscorporation.bsky.social - The new NIH policy cannot pass.

Oh. My. God. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Truncated gRNA sequences to target Cas9 fusions to hundreds of sites with similar sequences: www.nature.com/articles/s41... This should address a question I commonly get for GLoPro (PMID: 29735997), about targeting TF binding sites throughout the genome, rather than a single locus. Cool work.

My man @duckerlab.bsky.social the "diet researcher"

With pleasure we share our preprint reporting robust and cost-effective expansion of naive human Pluripotent Stem Cells without feeder cells. A fantastic collaborative effort with @leeboratory.bsky.social @jzylicz.bsky.social @pasquelab.bsky.social and Nicolas Rivron. tinyurl.com/5n6z9rt9
