Our paper on the 4D Nucleome data portal is out today! Over 1800 experiment sets and 36K files probing nuclear structure, with an intuitive UI and integrated visualization capabilities!
Read about the @4DNucleome data portal, now out in @NatureComms #FAIRdata nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
After finishing the Swedish tree in @duolingo I was looking forward to getting back into German, but I can't stand the character voices!! Guess it'll be Danish instead, then #LanguageLearning

Blood is blue?? Citation needed.
"Human blood is red, hemocyanin is blue" would have worked better.

As @RafaelPolidoro2 just told me. Here is the most clever, beautiful and creative Nature cover we have ever seen. Guess what protozoan it is? @parasitesrule

A new technique to reverse specific aneuploidies in cancer cell lines reveals mechanistic insights about the role of aneuploidy in tumorigenesis. Really cool work!
Very excited to share a new paper from my lab: using a set chromosome-engineering tools, we show that cancers are “addicted” to aneuploidy. If you genetically eliminate single aneuploid chromosomes, cancer cells totally lose their malignant potential!

This video is hilarious
Tiny Brazilian frogs’ inner ear canals are too small to help them balance well, finds a study from last year in @ScienceAdvances, explaining why they are clumsy jumpers. scim.ag/12n

You may have heard the shocking headline that 250,000 people die every year in the US due to misdiagnosis in the ER.
You may be even more shocked to know that this statistic is extrapolated from the death of...
just one man.
in a Canadian ER.
over a decade ago.
So tragic, i love this area. I haven't heard that anyone was hurt but i hope the building can be saved.
A car crashed into a block of stores at Corinth St. Roslindale.The driver was transported by @BOSTON_EMS .The building has been evacuated, for concern of a potential collapse.

Wow! Good to know - I wish I'd known about this before I implemented a sorting algorithm myself 😂 Well, I learned multiple things today then. #AdventOfCode2022
Another #Python gem from functools: cmp_to_key().
Imagine you need to sort a list and you have a custom function that outputs if one item comes before or after another.
Turns out you can use Python's sort with your custom function!

The past couple days of #AdventOfCode2022 have been a crash course in algorithms! I first taught myself python for parsing genomic data, and have never learned algorithms formally. Fun to be learning something new!
