Bonsai: Tree representations for distortion-free visualization and exploratory analysis of single-cell omics data Single-cell omics methods promise to revolutionize our understanding of gene regulatory processes during cell differentiation, but analysis of such data continues to pose a major challenge. Apart from...

Here it is! Bonsai. Now there is really no more excuse for using t-SNE/UMAP. Bonsai not only makes cool pictures of your data. It actually rigorously preserves its structure. No tunable parameters. Incredible work by @dhdegroot.bsky.social.
I'm so excited about this!

The nitroplast: A nitrogen-fixing organelle A bacterial endosymbiont of marine algae evolved to an organelle

Move over mitochondria, a new organelle called the nitroplast is here.

In a Science study last year, researchers reported that a nitrogen-fixing organelle has been identified in a marine alga.
