YouTube video by Stowers Institute for Medical Research How Stowers Scientists Found the DNA Site Where Robertsonian Chromosomes Fuse

🚂 The T2T train keeps rolling: "The formation and propagation of human Robertsonian chromosomes" with Gerton and Garrison labs is out! What's a Robertsonian chromosome? Let Jen tell you herself in this great video, or read our paper: [1/3]

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

Prenatal cfDNA Sequencing & Incidental Detection of Maternal Cancer

“48.6% of participants who received unusual or nonreportable clinical cfDNA-sequencing results had an occult cancer. Further study of DNA-sequencing patterns…suggestive of occult cancer during prenatal screening is warranted”

Getting some help to prep for #ASH24 ♥️

The holidays are much more peaceful in the years I skip ASH - and I don’t even have Thanksgiving to worry about! #hemesky

This is great! Also stumbled across the #hemesky feed, which I promptly pinned to my home page.

Im excited to sit as a panelist on this webinar later this week. Be sure to tune in! #HemeSky

Desperately excited to trade bracelets at #ASH24!

Is anyone in #bloodsky aware of a commercial panel that claims to cover all the important B-cell lymphoma genes?
I'm trying to cross-reference the genes on these panels with our curated set of B-NHL drivers. I'm also interested in any generic heme panels that people are using.

Finding so many awesome heme/onc people to follow here! Some old faves and many new faces. Do we have or need some tags to create good feeds in this space?

I quit the bird app a month ago, and I’m thrilled to see so many amazing #MedSky and #AcademicSky folks coming along! Looking forward to following #ASH2024 on the new platform this year.

It's an unbalanced centrifuge rotor in a candy bar. Some sick freak is out there putting all the weight on one side of the rotor. Just horrifying these people are allowed to walk among us.

Please be sure to check your kid's candy VERY carefully.

I just found an unbalanced centrifuge in a Snickers bar.

Let's talk about the Dickey Amendment:

In 1993, CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) published a study in New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) showing gun ownership was positively correlated with homicide.

The NRA lobbied to get them eliminated.
