How predicative are transcriptomes of cell fate choices? This Science Magazine article suggests that transcriptomes have limited predictive power for developmental fates during hematopoiesis. The highest predictive accuracy from RNA levels was 60% in vitro and 51% in vivo.

GGGOOOAAALLL we made the cover! huge thanks to the team NatureStructMolBiol Sara Osman for highlighting our work! nature.com/nsmb/volumes/2… 🤩😍🥰😊🥲 feelin' all the feels 🥲😊🥰😍🤩

I asked my PhD adviser, 'When do you know you've become a scientist?' He replied, 'When you no longer seek validation from others.' - I’ve applied this wisdom to everything. Brian Daniels dedicated mentorship fueled my understanding of biology and its impact on human health.

Out now in Nature Communications 🎉🍾 our study on how protein synthesis regulators determine the neuronal subtypes in the cortex. A great collaborative effort, a big thank you to all authors, particularly to Katya Borisova, Andrew Newman and Matthew L. Kraushar 🤩 nature.com/articles/s4146…

This pandemic-era manuscript is now a Reviewed Preprint in eLife... Apical tufts can develop durable selectivity for behaviorally relevant stimuli (whether rewarded and unrewarded) during task learning. elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…

Happy Birthday, Rosalind Franklin! We celebrate her work and influence in science. Thanks to her, we have the historic Photo 51, which revealed that DNA has a double-helical structure!

What causes the placebo effect? What are the neural circuits underpinning the placebo pain? What's the pons got to do with it? Chong Chen, Grégory Scherrer and colleagues hit it out of the park with their new paper nature. Key Points: - The authors remind us that the placebo

congrats to the other awardees, including our very own Denes Hnisz MPI for Molecular Genetics! They turn science fiction into reality: The 100 most important minds in Berlin science in 2024 tagesspiegel.de/wissen/sie-mac…

Proud to see two of our scientists on the list of the 100 most important researchers in #Berlin by Tagesspiegel Wissenschaft Tagesspiegel! Congratulations Denes Hnisz and Matthew L. Kraushar! Max Planck Society Read more: tagesspiegel.de/wissen/sie-mac…

More than 1 year has passed since this first post below. Final and revised version of iFlpMosaics coming out very soon...all new genetic tools (plasmids, mice and cell lines) are available for shipment.

Re-upping this ad for a #postdocposition in our lab 🧠 🧬🔬 RT appreciated 🙏

New preprint, marking a new direction for the lab. This work started with a 7:30 am call with a mom whose daughter was recently diagnosed with a rare disease Beat BPAN and Don't Forget Morgan #BPAN. We present phenotypes from a new mouse model mimicking a patient mutation. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Fantastic work by Macklis lab: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
