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.

A saliva test, which analyses men's DNA, could be used in helping to identify those at greater risk of #ProstateCancer, according to a new study led by the ICR's Professor Ros Eeles.

Make replication studies ‘a normal and essential part of science,' Dutch science academy says Scientists, universities, funding agencies, and journals should do more to increase reproducibility, a new report says

When I convinced the Dutch Science funder to create funding specifically for Replication Studies (www.science.org/content/arti...) I stressed the need to let scientists select the studies to replicate.

And in our paper we point out replications should focus on high impact uncertain results.

What explains the divergence between RNA and protein levels ?

Protein degradation is a HUGE factor.
It accounts for up to 50 % of protein variation across proteins & tissue types.
