MYSTERY SOLVED! Why does ChatGPT use the word "delve" so much? We've seen a 10x increase in the proportion of medical studies using the word "delve" from 2022 to 2024. But why? official at The Guardian might've just solved it. Thread below, complete with the trail of clues:

Interesting new computational framework (EpiTrace) infers cell mitotic age from single cell ATAC-seq data to predict developmental and disease trajectories, nice complement to somatic variation and RNA velocity methods. github.com/MagpiePKU/EpiT… nature.com/articles/s4158…

Wistar’s Dr. Noam Auslander uses AI in cancer and infectious disease research to identify patterns and gain insights that only data mining and data analytics in machine learning can do. Learn more about how Dr. Auslander harnesses the power of big data. bit.ly/4bekvBC

I keep reminding PhD students that THE most important outcome of a PhD is not their publications, conferences, awards etc., but they themselves after this journey. PhD is a learning process in how to learn new things, solve new problems you run into. Voices of Indian Academia Biopatrika

🚨New lab preprint! 🚨 A deep dive to shed light on a long-standing controversy with RNA-targeting CRISPRs: Do they have high levels of collateral (trans) cleavage of other RNAs in the cell ✂️✂️✂️ — or not? New work from talented PhD student #SydneyHart & others in our lab. 📰

... we got the order wrong for 4 of our chromosomes! Here are the mistakes: Chromosome 9 is longer than 8; Chr11 is longer than Chr10; Chr20 is longer than Chr19; Chr22 is longer than Chr21. 4/6

It’s finally out! 🥳 Today @cellcellpress we report non-mineral fossils of ancient chromosomes in skin from a woolly mammoth that died in Siberia, 52,000 years ago. 🦣💨 Don’t miss our thread below! 🧵👇🏽

For those with high arches, who may have difficulty finding comfortable running shoes, Dr. John Vasudevan says to get shoes that are cushioned and considered neutral, offering little support offsetting pronation, the natural inward turning of the foot. spr.ly/6013iBML5

Wet-lab innovations will lead the AI revolution in biology abhishaike.com/p/wet-lab-inno… i feel like i keep repeating this argument to people so i decided to just write it out 1.9k words, 9 minutes reading time, very short!

I think about this almost every day

Given some recent publications regarding #RNA #Splicing prediction using #DeepLearning we decided to assess some of those claims with surprising findings that have to do more with the target function you chose… biociphers.wordpress.com/2025/04/09/tis…
