Asymptomatic spread of COVID is not a thing, says study based on Post-lockdown SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid screening in nearly ten million residents of Wuhan, China disq.us/t/3t05qk0

This figure is insane. The extreme underrepresentation of z-values between -2 and 2 (which is just around the commonly used p-value threshold of 0.05) demonstrates publication bias/p-hacking/etc. Sharp edge near the threshold. Source: arxiv.org/abs/2009.09440

Decoding the function of Bivalent Chromatin in development and cancer. Bivalency does NOT poise genes for rapid activation BUT protects promoters from de novo DNA methylation. Bivalent domains have a function after all! tinyurl.com/375t57zr

The Banaszynski lab is hiring a postdoc! We are a chromatin lab studying histone variant biology in the context of both development and disease. Help me spread the word and message me if you are interested. 1/

My Department at Thomas Jefferson Univ is hiring a new Assistant Prof. (ad coming soon) in any area of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry! It’s a great Department full of nice people with a lot of collaboration opportunities. DM if you have any question and please RT!

What role does the bivalent chromatin play in differentiating stem cells? Dr Dhirendra Kumar from Jothi Lab will join us next Monday to present his latest research on the regulatory role of bivalency in maintaining epigenetic plasticity. Joins via zoom. No registration required.

Confused by all the "what is epigenetics" discourse? Well I have just the thing for you -- presenting the Epigenetics Alignment Chart!
