Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.

Unbelievable news.

Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers.

New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three yearsโ€”far, far better than standard of care.

That is no tiny victory.

I hope you find support until you are strong enough to support those who need it !

However, we...


Not checking nuclear markers like MALAT1 or intronic reads in your scRNA-seq data?๐Ÿšจ
We show their power to flag low-quality cellsโ€”even in top public datasets. Itโ€™s time to prioritize better QC for cleaner, more reliable genomics research!
