[Thread] The most racist Ukraine coverage on TV News. 1. The BBC - “It’s very emotional for me because I see European people with blue eyes and blonde hair being killed” - Ukraine’s Deputy Chief Prosecutor, David Sakvarelidze

Sometimes you don't even need a microscope to see cell phenotypes. Induced pluripotent heart cells can be seen beating in their wells. (video by @JessicaGluckPhD)

@GenScript @iGEM Our iGEM team is working to make an #impact by reducing fungal contamination and sporulation in diverse settings like commercial residences, hospitals, and agriculture. 🧬 @GenScript @iGEM (1/5)

#CRISPR screen identifies HMCES as a suppressor of APOBEC3A-mediated DNA damage in non-small cell lung #cancer. HMCES depletion is synthetic lethal with APOBEC3A expression & p53 loss, suggesting drug target potential @genstability &co in #PLOSBiology plos.io/3dntKm5

I often feel the capacity to uncover secrets of nature lies within our ability to observe. Tools help guide the way. Beautiful book by @ragh_gadagkar an incredible lesson on power of low-cost well designed exp. #foldscope community pursues this approach for behavior of microbes.

This rabbit walks on its "hands." Scientists think they’ve found the genetic reason why: fcld.ly/pp2k2cs

Excited to share our work! APOBEC3A has emerged as a major driver of mutagenesis in cancer. By CRISPR/Cas9 screening we identify susceptibilities of A3A-expressing cell lines and identify HMCES as a central protein for the tolerance of A3A expression. bit.ly/2YUdRwU

"Recent updates on COVID-19: A holistic review" - A Review from @HeliyonJournal hubs.ly/H0CY0Jd0 #COVID19 #heliyon @IITIOfficial

The last day we spend together @genstability before being split in different labs...this year has taken away many things from us that we couldn't even imagine...thanks for these unforgettable years! I've been so lucky to find such amazing people!:)

As we prepare to inject millions with an mRNA-based vaccine, it’s worth remembering that mRNA wasn’t even known to exist 60 years ago. The historic 1961 review by Jacob and Monod proposed its existence and it was isolated soon after (pg. 349). gs.washington.edu/academics/cour…

I'm excited to share my paper on the effects of ADSL deficiency in RPE-1 cells and in vivo models. We observed cell cycle arrest, DNA damage and cilia defects. Zebrafish embryos showed ciliopathy-like features and microcephaly. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
