This is a really lovely review on spatial transcriptomics out in @nature today. You will learn more about the different technologies, exploratory data analysis, multi-modal analysis and more go.nature.com/3fTcmYK

New work out today - we reconstructed incredible details about the life of a woolly mammoth using isotope and genetic data! Cover story for Science Magazine 🦣🏔️🦣🏔️🦣🏔️🦣🏔️🦣🏔️🦣🏔️🦣🏔️

It's time to stop making t-SNE & UMAP plots. In a new preprint w/ Tara Chari we show that while they display some correlation with the underlying high-dimension data, they don't preserve local or global structure & are misleading. They're also arbitrary.🧵biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It’s only “Bioinformatic” if it comes from the Bioinformatique region in France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling biology.

#JNeurosci: ​Ekin Su Akdemir, PhD et al. BCMHouston discovered that the Lfng-GFP reporter mouse labels a laminae-specific subpopulation of astrocytes in the dorsal spinal cord and that ablation of these astrocytes reduces excitatory synapses. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

Journals have to support supplementary files that arent .docx /.pdf / plaintext. Authors + societies need to push journals toward new standards of archiving primary data + metadata (non proprietary formats, checksum etc) . Pro Bono reviewers + editors alone cant make this happen.

Our work on RNA profiles of human sensory neurons, & differences with model species, made it to the Science Translational Medicine cover and was highlighted by the @NIHDirector (thanks!) Led by Diana Tavares Ferreira & Stephanie Shiers at Ted Price director of CAPS at UT Dallas (my role: model human - macaque evolutionary differences)

Out now! A deep dive into the evolution of pain and its biological underpinnings - from simple organisms to humans on The Pain Beat Podcast Series Episode 11. @PCPR Pain Research Forum Greg Neely Ted Price director of CAPS at UT Dallas IASP thepainbeat.libsyn.com/the-pain-beat-…

Our Brain paper on sex differences in ganglia of chronic pain patients is now accepted at Brain. More to come after the press embargo expires. Till then, here is a link to the original version, and thanks to the entire team !
