Next generation of 1001 Genomes Plus browser and data download Please indicate all features you would like to see in a browser that displays features of completely sequenced Arabidopsis thaliana genomes

We (Nordborg & Weigel labs) need input on the next generation of genome browsers & data download modes for the #Arabidopsis #1001GenomesPlus project. We have now a curated collection of over 500 long read genomes.

Please help us by filling out this questionnaire: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Is "top-notch" the new "highly motivated"?

Hunter syndrome: Boy with rare condition amazes doctors after world-first gene therapy Oliver has an inherited condition called Hunter syndrome, which causes progressive damage to the body and brain.

We are co-funding a new clinical trial to investigate if a one-off gene therapy to replace faulty genes in stem cells can bring hope to children with Hunter syndrome.

Ollie is the first child to participate in this @manchester.ac.uk study: bit.ly/49BaCjt

We are recruiting - deadline approaching!!! Postdoc position available in my lab to develop an exciting project with @alexfsantos2401.bsky.social to advance our understanding of food allergy and oral tolerance in early life.

“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Our lab digs into how serotonin tunes prediction errors and eye movements — with custom tools and curious mice.We got 2 posters at #SfN2025, Tue AM (C5) and Wed PM (R16).

Poster X8 on Tuesday morning, 8-12

#SfN25 's hottest club is Poster X8 Tuesday Morning. This club has everything: mice hunting robotic bait, quantitative behavior modeling, chronic superior colliculus Neuropixel data, and GLM encoding/decoding, not to mention the cheap new DAQ EVERYONE's been rumbling about. See you there!

I'm not at #Sfn25 this year and I'm having #SfNswag FOMO. Please fill me in!! (My recap video from last year's day 1 haul vm.tiktok.com/ZNdojN3re/)

Do you work with rats?

We are genetically predicting behavior, gene expression and other traits in outbred rats. We call it #RATTACA because it’s like the movie GATTACA except it’s not evil. Learn more about how you can use RATTACA at our booth #3925 at #sfn25.
