Reporter CRISPR screens decipher cis-regulatory and trans-regulatory principles at the Xist locus - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology Here Schwämmle et al. develop CRISPR reporter screens to map transcription-factor-regulatory element interactions at the Xist locus, revealing a two-step mechanism integrating developmental and X-dosage signals to initiate X-chromosome inactivation.

⚠️ Paper alert: Using a novel CRISPR screening approach, we mapped the entire regulatory network controlling Xist—key for X-chromosome inactivation.
👉 We discover how sex and development signals are decoded at a single gene locus.

Supreme Court allows Trump to cut $4B in foreign aid in 'pocket rescission' The Supreme Court on Friday moved to allow the Trump administration to effectively cut $4 billion of foreign aid previously enacted by Congress.

It looks like Trump's hand picked Supreme Court isn't going to stop him from rescinding money that Congress already agreed to use.

How can Democrats agree to a Republican budget that lets Trump delete the parts of it he doesn't like?

Great clip.

About PhDs here on H1B’s that “create entire industries.”

Here is a word cloud of the words that were missing from the noncompetitive renewal awards but had been present in the parent award.

Let’s all place bets on what RFK Jr. identifies as the “causes” of autism in his upcoming blockbuster reveal.

I’ll take the low-hanging fruit and go with vaccines and heavy metals.

What he won’t acknowledge is the overwhelming contribution of genetics, because he can’t sue someone over that.

it shouldn't be easier to get a gun in America than the covid vaccine

Turkiye!

Jack White, 2028. This is how it’s done.

The umpire who picked a side: John Roberts and the death of rule of law in America

The chief justice of the US has painted himself as a modern institutionalist over the past 20 years. Experts say he’s emboldening Trump’s drive toward authoritarianism.

More than a little misleading. But Francis Collins is being polite.

Say it straight: RFK and Bhattacharya are liars, selected for their ability to mislead the public, like so much of this administration’s picks. Why are so many Trump appointees Fox hosts? For this reason.

Still waiting on my NCE to be approved (quite extensive, given the lab move, grant transfer delays, lab renovations, etc.).

Anyone else waiting on NCEs? Are these under threat as well?

If this all sounds like a calculated plan to reduce the size of the federally funding biomedical research enterprise, I believe that is exactly what is it.

The notion that this "facilitates efficient management" of grants and the appropriation is, to use an official NIH term, horseshit.

/fin

To give people idea of what this means- this is how they make it look like they are getting money out the door but they are doing this to make drastic cuts- instead of spending 1 year worth of funds spread out they are concentrating funds on fewer grants. Public science is getting decapitated

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem

Why fascists hate universities | Jason Stanley Authoritarians and would-be authoritarians are only too aware that universities are primary sites of critique and dissent

Why do the fascists hate universities so much? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."
