Still contemplating packing up Twitter for good. 🤔 Is it good for anything any more?

Happy to have hosted Sandro Fernandes Ataide for this afternoon's @UNSWBABS seminar. He shared the really exciting biology behind #seekRNA, a new DNA editing method. Thanks for joining us!

Gracias @nex_ciencia por la nota! 🇦🇷🌱♥️🧬 @apolo_biotech @ifibyne @CONICETDialoga
Exactas UBA@Exactas_UBA

🌱Un novedoso desarrollo que lidera Federico Ariel, investigador del @CONICETDialoga en el @ifibyne podría revolucionar la agricultura en nuestro país y el mundo: logra que las plantas puedan defenderse solas evitando el uso de agroquímicos nocivos para la salud y el ambiente. 🪴Ariel se dedicó durante muchos años a estudiar la biología y la bioquímica del ARN en plantas, el ácido que funciona a la par del más famoso ADN. Se dio cuenta de que se podía usar ARN exógeno y rociarlo en las plantas en forma de spray para que éstas lo absorban. 🥼“Si podemos darles ARN a las plantas y éstas lo pueden leer, significa que podemos comunicarnos con ellas y brindarles información. Pero, ¿qué les decimos? Nos propusimos ofrecerles información sobre los patógenos y ver si generaban defensas. Y funcionó”, cuenta Ariel. 🔬El equipo le arrojó a las plantas secuencias de genes muy importantes del patógeno, éstas lo absorben y generan pequeños ARN que cumplen una función comparable a los anticuerpos, porque bloquean esos genes en el patógeno. Así, se evita el uso de pesticidas. 🌷“Hoy tenemos la capacidad no solo de exportar en algún momento alimentos tratados con ARN, más saludables al ser libres de agrotóxicos, sino que además podríamos exportar la tecnología para que se use en otros países”, se entusiasma Ariel. 📲Conocé más en la nota de @nex_ciencia: nexciencia.exactas.uba.ar/desarrollo-def…

Here briefly to share some pics & highlights of the @FranklinWomen Inclusive Leadership program Finale @Sydney_Uni! We began with Dr. Michell Bakarat-Johnson talking about her experience as mentor in the program, quoting: "You are the recipient of your own generosity"

Truly amazed by what @FranklinWomen Melina and Co have achieved over the last few years. Such a comfortable panel discussion about leadership and mentor-mentee relationships and the need to establish better structures and supportive communities at their grand finale. Lots to learn!

This week at @UNSWBABS, @SFAtaide from @Sydney_Uni will give us a deep dive into his team's discovery of SeekRNAs, a gene editing technology that can insert large chunks of genetic material in a sequence specific manner.

And it's a wrap for #ABACBS2024!!! Great venue, program and energy from the #Bioinformatics community. Lovely to catch up with so many I haven't seen in years, most notably @AndrewCalcino. 🙏🏽 all for your support on becoming an ordinary member of the @abacbs exec team!

Now at one of my fav meetings #ABACBS24, listening to a very fun & insightful talk by David Kainer on using #LLMs for automated ontology annotation. GPT models 👎🏽, embedding vectors for the trait ontology + 🔍 most similar trait ontology vectors to phenotype vector 👍🏽, RAG 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
