UAB is recruiting neuroscience faculty at two different levels - come join our vibrant neuroscience community!
Finally, today's offering! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
This began life as a very different project which failed because we couldn't agree on defining eqtl sharing across cohorts. So two young members of the lab dug deeply into this - first @ijbeasley.bsky.social, then @patrickgibbs.bsky.social
Pre-print on cardiomyocyte response to novel anti-cancer drug CX-5461 now published! Includes new gene expression response data at higher CX doses. Response to micromolar CX doses starts to mimic DOX responses, suggesting that off-target effects on the heart should be considered for this drug.
I guess it's just hard to focus. I get that.
Anything really, but what I miss most are the paper/preprint announcements and related discussions.
I can hardly find science posts here. I don't know how to change that. Yes, I know a lot is going on (obviously), but I get all the other things everywhere... this was where I used to get the science 😞

We're hiring for multiple open rank positions in the broad areas of biochemistry, molecular biology, and computational biology. With the recruitment of a new chair our Departmental strengths now include nuclear architecture, genomics and ancient DNA.

Faculty position at the department of medicine, University of Chicago. Please share.
I’ve been wondering more and more if TADs are about limiting recombination search and less about gene expression?
My lab is recruiting postdocs in AI/ML for genetics & genomics through the Malone Postdoctoral Fellows program. Apply by Jan 30! Lots of other great labs across the Malone Center as well.
The 400th copy of my book was sold yesterday. Thank you to everyone who ordered a copy! Some of you shared with me comments and suggestions, and I invite more readers to do so.

Thank you! send me an email and I'll reply with the images.
I didn't. I remember this post because it made me think. I've lost count of how many times I referenced it in conversations.
So what was the point of all this...? Why am I utterly not surprised
My book, An Intuitive Primer on Effective Functional Genomics Study Design, is published! I’d really appreciate it if you could help spread the word, and I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. I hope people will find it useful.
It’s available on Amazon: tinyurl.com/mx2hewen
As you can see I've been quite busy... 😀
![Screenshot of text reading: "The original review had noted that "Mechanistic basis of how cells differentiate between [XXX and YYY] will be needed." However, rather than identifying a mechanism, the authors argue that "the mechanisms of both [XXX and YYY] are of great interest, and of little consequence to the claims—causal and otherwise—that we make". The mechanistic basis of cellular phenomena is the ethos of [ZZZ] as a journal as far as I understand, and it is disappointing that the authors regard the mechanisms to be inconsequential."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:deufzypwwulzfvbgycug33dw/bafkreih45yxirmr2ga75usbt35ujkk7lcs6vz3hzzw5uy754jpya266j3m)

And to make this more concrete, here is a re-review we just got. The editor overruled this negative reviewer, who here is *lecturing us on the ethos of the journal*.
I've never met anyone in real life who holds this position with whom I can have an actual discussion. Always anonymous peer review.
Sean, this will pass. Harvard will receive federal funds again. I believe that you seriously doubt that right now. I don't. My outlook does not diminish the current crisis whatsoever, of course.
If you believe that, indeed the decision makes sense. In fact, it would be just the first step in a process of shutting down research altogether.
You can explain to me the complexity and rules related to endowment all you want, but there is just no way Harvard can't afford to keep their graduate programs intact. It's a choice.
Happy to be at ASHG!
2 students in the lab will present posters on gene regulatory evolution in primates on Thurs:
Emma focuses on responses to stimuli: 9109T
John focuses on transposable elements: 6036T
Please stop by if interested #ASHG25
Thank you for taking the time to review my book!
Your immune system remembers skin inflammation long after it resolves because of #interferon alpha!

It was amazing working on this with my role model @drshrutinaik.bsky.social
but do you still need an R01 from NIGMS to be eligible for a new MIRA, or was that requirement dropped?
