#BaskinEngineering faculty and students tackle big ideas through bold innovation. UCSC Biomolecular Engineering's Karen Miga led the extraordinary effort to complete the 1st gapless human #genome sequence, providing new insights into #genetic disease, evolution, and more. magazine.ucsc.edu/2022/08/openin…

Our new webinar series kicks off on September 8, at 6 pm ET - tune in to hear 2019 Nobel Laureate William G. Kaelin, Jr., MD, reflect on his early days as a scientist, his passion for mentoring, and how he just happened to win a Nobel Prize. Register here: bit.ly/3KbpJBh

Our paper showing putative IRESes from #HOXA9 and other genes are false-positives is now published at #PNAS. Great #RNA and #RNAtranslation work by Christina Akirtava Christina and Gemma May Gemma May! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

🚨Headed to #ASHG22 next week? 🧬Be sure to support BWCB members contributing posters, panels, and booths at the ASHG Annual Meeting in sunny LA. 🤝Follow for the latest info on opps. to learn more about us during the meeting. See you there Oct 24- 29th!

One of our stellar undergrads, Rakshya Sharma, was featured for Baskin Engineering's celebration of National Transfer Week!

🧵 HOT OFF THE PRESS: BWCB is pleased to announce the publication of our editorial in PLOS Comp Biol titled "Ten simple rules for creating a global network in computational biology." doi.org/jjhn

Congratulations to Vid and the rest of the iGEM team!

I hope the University of California is throwing its substantial lobbying power at the NIH to raise the R01 modular budget cap, which has been set at $250,000 per year since 2000. Twenty-two years. The entire lifetime of many grad students.
