Latest from Shendure & Qiu labs (@cxqiu.bsky.social) )! We combined a new 4M cell mouse whole embryo scATAC-seq atlas (E10-P0), millions of 'evolutionarily coherent' orthologs from 241 mammalian genomes (Zoonomia), and the CREsted CNN framework (@steinaerts.bsky.social).

New preprint @cxqiu.bsky.social @jshendure.bsky.social ! Can we learn regulatory grammars of human cell types — by training on mouse development and transferring across 241 mammalian genomes? Introducing STEAM & a whole-organism scATAC-seq atlas from E10 to birth. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We are hiring a staff member to support various projects in our lab. Please reach out with questions! wd5.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/u...

Zohran opened his victory speech with a Debs quote and I don't know if everyone is really seeing the significance of that! 🌹Holy shit there has been a shift in the universe.

Thrilled to share I’ve started my lab at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine! We focus on mapping cellular trajectories & TF networks in development and Mendelian disorders, exploring new therapies. Join us—postdocs, grads, and scientists welcome! sites.dartmouth.edu/qiulab/

we are so goddamn cooked. lead by some of the dumbest anti-science madmen, constantly at the mercy of their insane hallucinations!

"Scientists and students at the University of Washington gathered at Kane Hall on Monday to protest the Trump administration’s proposed cuts to federal research funding, warning the reductions could devastate scientific innovation." @uawregion6.bsky.social ow.ly/y13750WEBtH

cops doing crime on camera. as @chadloder.bsky.social has been pointing out all day, this is totally illegal. cops doing crime. on camera. adjust your stupid headlines accordingly.

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

NIH is ending billions of dollars in foreign subawards, jeopardizing thousands of projects on infectious diseases, cancer and more. Unless foreign researchers secure funding directly from NIH by October — a tall order for any researcher — clinical trials abroad and other research will shut down.

No billion dollar mega-corporation deserves a tax break from Washington State at the expense of health and human services. Sign in 'Pro' and tell your reps to pass House Bill 2045 without a corporate giveaway that everyday Washingtonians can't afford: TinyUrl.com/WA2045

I saw so many signs today, but I think this was my favorite. @teslatakedown.com @repjasmine.bsky.social And happy birthday to Congresswoman Crockett!

Folks, very bad news for #LongCOVID. Deep breath. 29 awarded grants to do with COVID and Long COVID have been rescinded by NIH. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Impossible to overstate the chilling effect on American science. We absolutely depend on scientific exchange with colleagues around the world.

“Linked to pro-Palestinian views” is apparently now grounds for arrest and due-process-free deportation.

If you're critical of the US government and you are planning to cross the US border any time soon, today is a good day to review EFF's border search pocket guide: www.eff.org/document/eff...

If they can come for graduate workers, if they can arrest, deport, expel, or imprison union leaders and activists for their protected political speech, then they can come for you. For your contract. For your paycheck. For your family. And for your rights.

First they'll tell you what you can't protest about, then they'll get rid of your unions, then they'll tell you what you're allowed to teach, then they'll tell you *who* you can teach. If the university admins give these assholes an inch then we are lost.

I added the alt text for this very important message

Did you participate in the Stand Up for Science Day today? 🧬 Do you want to do something more tangible? JOIN YOUR SCIENTIST UNION OR START ONE IF YOU DONT HAVE ONE YET.

Every dollar invested into NIH research equates to $2.46 in economic activity. In 2023, NIH funding supported over 400,000 jobs in the U.S. and created nearly $100 billion in economic activity. Cutting public research funding won't save money -- it will cost working people billions of dollars.

Protest today at the University of Washington regarding NIH funding cuts to cancer research. #protest #resist #NIH #funding

The Democrats have forgotten how to exist without mentioning Trump. This is not a framework on how to fight, this is a framework on how to enable fascism while pretending to oppose it.

Listen im sorry but the bar for dating has been raised.

We won!!!!!!!

Seattle your ballots are due today! Please vote yes/yes on 1A for social housing!

SEATTLE: have you turned your ballot in to vote to tax wealthy businesses to fund permanently affordable, publicly owned, mixed income social housing?

Seattle friends, the ballots are dropping for this right now, please vote yes on Prop 1A!

“We do research, we review proposals, we write grants that bring real dollars to the University of Washington, we observe on telescopes that go on expeditions... we teach and supervise. We make this University run.” @uawregion6.bsky.social www.dailyuw.com/news/uaw-412...

Those were 100% Nazi salutes. Don't let them gaslight you that they weren't.

This was never about data. This was never about national security. It was ALWAYS about silencing our voices. It was about keeping us apart. It was about keeping us from being informed. It was about CONTROL. #tiktokban

Massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs) testing >680,000 sequences combined with machine learning to improve regulatory element & variant effect prediction. Amazing work by @vagar.bsky.social, Fumitaka Inoue, @jshendure.bsky.social and many others as part of ENCODE. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
