A new approach to gene therapy — developed by Eberly researchers led by Doug Cavener in Penn State Biology — bypasses disease-causing mutations in the gene, enabling treatment of genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis and other rare diseases. buff.ly/3arPmx0 @barbiebaby61

Looks like this paper has caused a lot of controversy lately: pnas.org/content/118/21… We should definitely discuss it at the next Hat Journal Club!

This is such wonderful work! Congratulations!!!

Our paper in Journal of Heredity American Genetic Association is out in print! Led by @TheaRogers we tested for multi-copy gene family evolution on the avian W chromosome. W chromosomes seem to follow quite different evolutionary trajectories to the Y! academic.oup.com/jhered/article… 1/6

Do you know someone interested in algorithms and scientific research? I'm looking for a PhD student in Computational Biology to work at @ScilifeLab and Stockholm University. Deadline Nov 5th. More details here:  sahlingroup.github.io/positions/ #PhDposition #academicjobs #Bioinformatics

“It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly business”. Now, how many times I need to remind myself and other people about it..

The call for symposia for #smbe2022 is open. The meeting will be in Auckland next July. Call for Symposia | SMBE 2022 smbe2022.org/call-for-sympo…

This is such a great initiative to support Ukrainian Scientists!

1. Distrust your data and your result. Use controls. Visualize. Fix problems. Repeat. 2. Your code is wrong until you prove it isn’t with tests. 3. You need to understand the biology and the details of the assays. 4. Use existing tools and libraries unless they don’t meet needs.

Interested in #satellite DNA and sex chromosomes, especially in human? In this review, an absolute #satellite DNA expert Karen Miga and I cover the relationship between satellite DNA and sex chromosome aneuploidies sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #bioinformatics #aneuploidy #centromere

Thank you! Also crediting the talented Monika Cechova (Monika Cechova Mich).

Mariana Wolfner and I seek an enthusiastic postdoc to work on an NIH-funded project to dissect the molecular basis for male-female interactions during and after mating. Join the exciting Drosophila research community at Cornell. Email [email protected].

This work is finally out: academic.oup.com/gbe/article/15… It started in 2019 when I designed short universal probes for capturing ampliconic gene transcripts from 9 gene families from 6 great apes. Two cDNA replicates per RNA sample, PacBio IsoSeq, clustering with isONclust by Kristoffer Sahlin

A team led by PSU researchers, including senior author Justin Pritchard and Scott Leighow, has created a modular genetic circuit that turns cancer cells into a “Trojan horse,” causing them to self-destruct and kill nearby drug-resistant cancer cells. psu.edu/news/research/…
