A terrific body of work by postdoc Munisha Mumingjiang and grad student Rui Huang on the impact of genomic instability on trophoblast stem cells and placenta development. Years in the making. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A few decades ago, I remember writing in a % of admin salaries (say, a Departmental staffer) on my grants (part of DC). I guess rule changes since then pushed those all into IDC.
A high throughput CRISPR perturbation screen identifies epigenetic regulators impacting primordial germ cell development biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
We found that a histone deacetylase KD, and HDAC inhibitors (inc. a dietary supplement), impede PGCLC formation> somatic genes stay on

If you need a ton of PGCLCs and don't want to use expensive cytokines in the process, you may find this method useful.

Thanks Cito for you great content! Been following you for a couple of years on YouTube, and as a result I too have focussed most of my Crupto interest on the Cosmos.
Our studies of why genetic variant pathogenicity prediction algorithms leave much to be desired:

There's a series of (dubious?) papers on "sperm mediated gene transfer." For example: Cell 1989 doi: 10.1016/0092-8674(89)90787-3. Wonder if fragments of epididymal DNA carried by sperm ever integrate into fertilized egg?

Maybe your card? Possibly the 12V battery died. Tesla should be able to diagnose remotely.

Come join us tomorrow! If it adds validity to my resume, My partner @turk727 and I won the @NYSGA1923 4-ball today at Leatherstocking GC. Shout out to @oneillrida92 and staff for a championship venue this week!
In the next ATC Office Hours (Tuesday, May 24, check your time zone), @Carl_Schimenti joins for a discussion of golf course playability and the maintenance work needed to produce the best conditions. youtu.be/2fMhNSEkpLI

Great work you two! Vera is indeed a force of nature. I loved having her in the lab...her passion for science is unparalleled.

Yup, and the cost! But there's no substitute for functional studies.

Super excited to announce that MBG is searching for TWO new faculty members! Open topic - we're happy to receive applications from biologists working in any research area that spans the breadth of MBG.
