Comparative Analysis of Deep Learning Models for Predicting Causative Regulatory Variants biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_bioinfo

A US judge has ordered hundreds of terminated research projects at the US National Institutes of Health to be reinstated, calling the processes that led to their cancellation “bereft of reasoning”. go.nature.com/4nhQ5Vx

In an unprecedented move, the NIH will soon disinvite dozens of scientists who were about to take positions on advisory councils that make final decisions on grant applications for the US agency, Nature has learnt. go.nature.com/3TEAgdN

THANK YOU This is a painful aspect of curating anything 😭😭😭

This new preprint was designed so poorly that it provides absolutely no proof that mRNA vaccines caused cancer/other diseases. It compared 10 (!) handpicked sick patients to 803 healthy patients. And behold, they show different RNA expression profiles. Because they were sick.

🎉 We are excited to announce the 'Consortium for the Equations of Life and Living-Systems' (CELL), an open collective dedicated to building the rigorous mathematical core that biology needs. The principles are based on #OpenScience. We will publish the blueprint soon. Please

Every research objective needs to answer five questions: • Why does this matter? (Significance) • How will you do it? (Methodology) • When will it be done? (Feasibility) • Who benefits? (Relevance) • What data will you use? (Evidence) Miss any one, and your project is

I’ve always been interested in the stories behind BioNumbers. Textbooks say DNA polymerase, for example, replicates 220 nucleotides per second. But how do we know this? How can one actually measure the speed of a single enzyme? A fast typist, for comparison, types ~80 words per

Researchers just developed a machine learning-optimised diet that reduces dementia risk by 36% - stronger than any existing dietary pattern. The MODERN diet analysed 185,012 people over 10 years - here's what they found 🧵

A massive genetic study in nature just identified why chronic pain hits some people harder than others. They discovered the first neuronal “pain transporter” - and it could unlock entirely new ways to treat pain. 🧵

Prediction: A virtual space in which AI agents & assistants can be interactively arranged, integrated, & aligned to create intermediated systems in a visual+easy way... The next great software will be an interface that gets it right. #AI #complexity #systems

A lesser known trend we'll be seeing more & more as the climate continues to shift: record run-off from extreme weather events incl. sewage x debris x other waste impacting the safety of tributaries, beaches Ergo. High 💩 tide. #labordayweekend2025 usatoday.com/story/news/nat…

David Baltimore, who was the "subject of attacks" in a case foundational to the history of the ORI, has died. nytimes.com/2025/09/07/sci…

Looks like Florida is voluntarily rolling back to "developing nation" status for its public health... 😐 Pathogens don't care about your politics. The vulnerable will suffer. Remember who is responsible.

Charlie Kirk is asked about the number of mass shootings that have happened over the past 10 years. Kirk answers this with a question: "Counting or not counting gang violence?" He is then fatally shot. Within the same hour, 3 are shot at a Colorado high school 470mi away.

"The import of this history has never been clearer than in this moment when the hard question must be asked: If you would look away from the words of Charlie Kirk, from what else would you look away?" vanityfair.com/news/story/cha…
