Serious errors plague DNA tool that’s a workhorse of biology. Can’t imagine how this sump up to inaccuracies when outsourcing studies on plasmids/AAV vectors. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Really proud of Francesco Cisternino Craig Glastonbury and his team for this awesome new method to derive tissue substructure representations from histopathology slides and to investigate their broader genetic and population variation properties. Check it out!

We are honored to have Yasmine Belkaid Belkaid Lab as our keynote speaker on Day 2 of the 2024 HCA General Meeting. events.humancellatlas.org/2024GM/agenda

Talks and discussions for the HCA General Meeting will include updates on the assembly of HCA Atlases, cross-tissue integration and querying, incorporating #spatial data, and planning for the next phase. See the draft agenda for #HCA2024GM at events.humancellatlas.org/2024GM/agenda

Looking forward to host you and to have exciting scientific discussions!

If you have already registered for the General Meeting, and are interested in attending either the HCA ‘Cells in Context’ Symposium or the HCA Middle East Meeting, please email [email protected]

Fantastic colleagues at RNA initiative at IIT looking for PhD students in RNA Biology.

Right after the #HCA2024GM, there will be a follow up meeting at the Human Technopole on organoids and a HCA Middle East Meeting, on October 1st. Consider joining the satellite events when you come to Milan for the general meeting on September 29-30.

Note that the satellite events (Oct 1st) at the Human Technopole, different location (but same area of the city) from the main meeting (Sept 29-30).

And, we are also involved in the organization of the Asia HCA Meeting in December, there is about a week for the early bird registration.

The devil is in the details. See Giovanni Pascarella thread on out preprint analyzing in details sequencing accuracy to detect rare genomic recombination events. With some surprises (see thread) that we still cannot explain.

Did you see this interview with Piero Piero Carninci , where he reveals how he got involved in HCA, and how the HCA General Meeting is going to be like a well organised science party! #HCA2024GM humancellatlas.org/news/spotlight…
