'water is transparent only within a very narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum, so living organisms evolved sensitivity to that band, and that's what we now call "visible light". ' (found via HN)

One of the most complex regions in the human genome revealed. To me, it was fascinating to combine genome assembly and pangenome graphs (PGR-TK in Fig. 3e) algorithm techniques to uncover the hidden diversity across human populations. #genomics #bioinformatics

For innate immune cells, the lack of diverse receptor rearrangements has prevented the study of clonal evolution of the innate immune system in human tissues and tumors. With @satpathology and @caleblareau, I’m delighted to share my PhD work that tackles this challenge:

The Office of Management and Budget has superseded congress to limit NIH spending, directing institute and center directors to immediately halt the issuing of research grants, research and development contracts, and training awards during a “pause” of unspecified duration statnews.com/2025/07/29/tru… 💩👿

The coolest part of DOGE is that while they crippled medical research and cost-effective foreign aid programs, they also didn’t save any money.

It is depressing, but all too predictable, how swiftly we’ve gone from the Social Science Genetic Association Consortium offering reassurances about the uses of behavioural polygenic scores to one of their lead authors marketing embryo selection for IQ
