I think 2025 is over on the review front…

Brain tumor classification from FFPE samples using nanopore methylation sequencing Abstract. Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT)-based methylation sequencing is emerging as a powerful approach for the rapid and accurate classification of bra

As a scientist, there are not many things more gratifying than to see my teams’ work directly involved in saving lives and @nanoporetech.com applied routinely in the clinic.
Big thanks to all the great team from Schneider Children’s Medical Center.

This project was a team effort over four years and multiple pivots, because each time we’ve got somewhere @nanoporetech.com capabilities got better (You couldn’t read 5hmC when we started). Huge thanks to the team and to our partners @jlistgarten.bsky.social & @timp0.bsky.social

We are extending the alphabet of @nanoporetech.com by installing synthetic modifications in DNA.
The goal: multi-omic profiling on the same long DNA molecule

‘Biotech Barbie’ says the time has come to consider CRISPR babies. Do scientists agree? A company’s plan to edit the genomes of human embryos worries some researchers — but it might reflect the changing attitudes towards the controversial approach.

Hmmmm.....

Look at this interesting chart of the last 6000 years and how nations expanded and shrunk through time. I saw this posted by Josh Barzon on twitter

It's Monday

I can’t express how relieved I am with the end of war agreement.
Let’s build a better future for Israelis and Palestinians 🕊️

The virus hijacks the host ribosome by installing a translation initiation complex with preference for viral mRNA

What are your thoughts about using t2t builds as a reference?
Is there a proper conversion for annotations made for older builds?

It was probably the BEST single molecule meeting in the last decade. What a fine collection of excellent science and scientists!

Fiery kickoff for the 30th Single Molecule Workshop!
I’m super excited to see so many great scientists and big names in the field gathered here in Berlin.
Let’s go #WS30 🚀

Apropos of nothing....
Peer-review should be rigorous, not rude.

Critique the work, not the author team.
Explain, don’t sneer.
Build science up, don’t beat the authors down.

Respect in peer-reviews isn’t optional — it’s how good research gets better.

Thank you @lizdelagarzag.bsky.social
This is heartwarming

Please Please don’t put sanctions on Israeli academia.
I’m feeling it and it hurts and distresses me💔.
I and the majority of the academic community oppose the government and its actions. We are fighting every day to change things for the better and we need your help!
Please don’t weaken us🙏

There’s always a path for good

These probably have crazy enzymes and genomes. I’ll look into it🧬

This was right four years ago. I’m not a native English speaker and I check the grammar of my papers easily with available tools. When I review a paper, poor English doesn’t influence my judgement of the science. but it definitely turns me off a bit and will be noted in my review.

Climate-change-induced seismicity: The recent onset of seasonal microseismicity at the Grandes Jorasses, Mont Blanc Massif, France/Italy Modeling studies indicate that the geosphere can dynamically respond to climate change, increasing geological and geomorphological hazards. One such h…

Sounds reasonable since water penetration in known to affect seismic activity. I looked into the study www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... and its very observational. I would say still Theology

When we realized the best chances are to got back from Cyprus, we headed there.
It became clear that no flights were going anywhere so we started looking for alternatives.
I found this super fast boat that took us to Haifa port in 6 hours! We were just in time to witness a missile attack from sea

One of my best purchases in Prague! It gave me shade at #TCTeAC and then again when I crossed the sea to get back home 🦄.
