just your daily reminder that GO annotations are plagued with crap. I was going through some of the proteins annotated as 'Nuclear membrane' and you get GAPDH, ENO1, MX1... Don't trust these annotations. Curate them yourself, as painful as it is, it is worth it for data quality

AI models are embedded into a political reality. Just like deepseek refuses to address Tiananmen square, Grok now tries to obfuscate climate change. Developers know many now depend on LLMs for information, of course they would be tweaked for political gains. This is only going to get worse

Human PBMCs, a highly variable mixed cell population, showing every protein with less than 20% CV. They even state a median CV of 2% in human PBMCs. The result makes no biological or technical sense. So this merits another plug to my CV paper on JPR

Cool paper from the Davis lab using human tonsil organoids to study CD4 and CD8 Tregs. Even though subjects with autoimmunity were excluded, organoids derived from female donors had higher autoreactivity, providing an ex vivo system to study sex differences in response to self antigens. #ImmunoSky 🧪
