I thought it would be fun to do podcasts with the authors of papers published in our new spatial biology journal EXO. The incredible staff at the journal has made this so much fun and easy to do. Here’s our first episode. My thanks to the staff, and Drs. Toyokuni and Kong for agreeing to be our first authors interviewed. Enjoy!

🎇Our new paper in @ScienceMagazine: Kidney Multiome-Based Genetic Scorecard Reveals Convergent Coding and Regulatory Variants. @Hongbo919Liu science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1. Full spectrum of genetic variants related to kidney function (1,000 loci). 2. Comprehensive annotation of discovered genetic variants using 32 new omics datasets and tools (QTLs, single cell data), uncovering 600+ genes for kidney function. 3. 161 genes previously believed to contribute only to rare monogenic diseases, which harbor common variants affecting CKD in the general population. 4. Discovered a large number of new druggable targets for kidney disease. 5. Developed a Kidney Genetics Scorecard for integration and interpretation

How we think and talk about mitochondria matters to our science and to newcomers in the field. The powerhouse analogy is expired and we need specific vocabulary to capture the beautiful complexity of mitochondrial biology. We propose a framework and some nomenclature.
