There is a real and imminent threat of a 50% cut in science funding in the U.S. If you believe that this is a terrible mistake, then now is the time to call your local representatives and let them know exactly how it would affect their district. Be specific and talk to a person.

Our deep dive into cis-regulatory diversity using single-cell genomics across maize germplasm reveals how genetic variants reshape chromatin accessibility, transcription factor binding, chromatin interactions and much more. Led by @Marand_Lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The genetic architecture of cell-type-specific cis-regulation

Gene expression and complex phenotypes are determined by the activity of cis -regulatory elements. However, an understanding of how extant genetic variants affect cis -regulatory activity remains...

🎉🎉 This is excellent news! A huge thanks to @freemanjb et al for their persistent efforts to make this happen. NSF will now count LGBTQ+ Ph.D. graduates, a big step towards understanding LGBTQ+ representation in STEM. science.org/content/article/…

LGBTQ Ph.D. graduates will soon be counted in key U.S. survey

It’s “very long overdue,” one scientist says
