In general chem i don't remeber the order but we studied oxydoreduction, thermodynamics (!!!!) (We also did this in physics), acids and bases and i know i'm forgetting smth but i hope that already helps a bit 🥹 unfortunately my books were in french so i don't think they'd help

In organic chem it starts with the basics (how are electrons "organized" in an atom, cf. Pauli exclusion principle) and from this we derive the type of bonds that can exist (pi, sigma) and from this the type of reactions to form bonds: electophilic/neurophilic aditions and substitions for instance

I only did a year of med school and it was in france but we had both organic and "physical chemistry" (that back then we just called general chem). In both of these we didnt have any labs, only non-mandatory exercises in which we solved problems as they might be on the exam :)

Apply now for a fully funded #PhD position at the Cologne Graduate School of Ageing Research and become part of our vibrant #AgingResearch commmuny.
🗓️ Deadline: November 3, 2025.

(they're fun to draw so i might reiterate once i recover from this one)

We have moved to our new home! Our new office is now on the top floor of the Center for Metabolic Research Building!🎉

Halfpipe, our tool for analyzing RNA-seq data from metabolic RNA labeling experiments, is out!!!🎉 Congratulations to Jason and the team including collaborators from @molgen.mpg.de and @uniklinik-fr.bsky.social ! The code is available on GitHub. #RNAseq #SLAMseq #RNAmetaboliclabeling

A brightly colourful illustration of mitosis - the process of cell division. Starting with an orange cell with purple centrosomes, yellow spindles, a magenta nucleus and tangled blue and green chromosomes. As the cycle progresses, the chromosomes line up down the centre of the elongated cell, connected by the spindles to centrosomes at each end. The cell elongates further and starts splitting in to two, ending with two cells nearly identical to the original.

Today’s #FebruArty prompt is ‘divided’ & mitosis feels like an excellent response 🐡

Yes, if you use generative ai in any creative field, I am actually better than you.
There’s no debate

just read a paper about how melanoma incidence in grey horses is due to a cnv and 😊 hihi bioinformatians helped answer this question i've been asking myself for 15 years ! ! ! it's such a cool job that we do

Alevin-fry-atac enables rapid and memory frugal mapping of single-cell ATAC-seq data using virtual colors for accurate genomic pseudoalignment Ultrafast mapping of short reads via lightweight mapping techniques such as pseudoalignment has significantly accelerated transcriptomic and metagenomic analyses, often with minimal accuracy loss comp...

Big update to our tool alevin-fry-atac, for preprocessing of scATAC-seq data (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...). The main improvements center around optimizations to mapping speed, reaching almost 3x the speed of chromap at 32 threads. Some opts are general & can be backported to sshash!

Only a few days left to apply!

How to do differential expression with scRNAseq data? State of the art is "pseudo-bulk" analysis with RNA-seq methods like edgeR or DESeq2, where "cell type" is encoded as discrete categories. Biologically, discrete categories are not always the most appropriate concept.(1/3)

maybe i post here abt science or abt art or maybe both !!!!! :) my supervisor wants to make a lab acc anyways
