pubScan has moved to a new domain: pubscan.org One major update behind the scenes: the publication database now uses OpenAlex ORCID-based author identities. Name disambiguation in scientific literature is surprisingly difficult. ORCID-linked identities make publication tracking more reliable.

Is this the beginning of a new era or the end of the famous EMBL Heidelberg canteen? ;-) embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/d...

This was a fun effort from our lab retreat (!) to recreate a "arms-length" benchmark (i.e., one that someone else created) using our Omnibenchmark framework. We all learned a lot in the process ..

A new package, splicelogic, in Bioc 3.23 from lab member Bea Campillo @beamimc.bsky.social splicelogic allows users to find alternative splicing events after performing differential transcript usage (DTU) analysis. We're eager to have folks try this one out! thelovelab.github.io/splicelogic/

Could we boost the nervous system's ability to repair damaged brain cells?🔬 New research by Dr Jobert Vargas and Prof Giampetro Schiavo (UK DRI at UCL) in collaboration with Dr Andrea Serio (UK DRI at King’s), uncovers key insight into how human neurons can be repaired. ukdri.ac.uk/news-and-eve...
