Happy Imaging!
If you have the opportunity, apply for the TSL @thesainsburylab.bsky.social Summer Conference. An intense week with top experts in plant-microbe interactions. What you can learn here in a week would normally take months (or longer)!!! @kamounlab.bsky.social 🦠🔬🌱

#Chemchat, take a look at this.

The science is as over-hyped and borderline fraudulent as the ethics are thorny (and that doesn't even count the George Church, friend of Epstein angle)
Oh no what did BC do...
🧬 Just pushed new updates to #OpenCloning Assembler based on user feedback!
✍️ Now supports #GoldenBraid and Plant #MoClo
🚀 You can edit assembly product names, view a full syntax overview, and enjoy cleaner visuals.
👉 Try it out (link in comments) — feedback welcome!

Since people are liking the Bocchi colors, I have a whole collection of color palettes on my GitHub: github.com/cxli233/Colo...
You will find the hex code, the preview, and the inspiration for each color palette. I hope some of them will be used.

“...the old conferences did not care about diversity. I suggest you not either,” Epstein wrote to Brockman. “The women are all weak, and a distraction sorry.” 😡👩🏻🔬 #AcademicSky
New Ed Yong book in April 2027 let's gooooo
We teamed up with OpenFlower (@nickdesnoyer.bsky.social), a nonprofit creating designer flowers for art & education, to release 3 limited edition postcards! These flowers were powered by Whole Plasmid Sequencing from Plasmidsaurus.

Dennis nedry jurrasic park "see nobody cares" meme reads Hey everybody, this guy still posts on X! See? Everyone is horrified and disappointed. They feel it speaks directly to your values.
Our work now on its final version. We mapped the mechanical properties of roots at tissue and single cell levels using Brillouin microscopy and molecular rotors. Additional mutants and stress measurements from what we previously showed in the preprint are included.

DeepL seems to have updated and has removed the "thesaurus" feature. Does anybody know a good alternative to DeepL?
Interesting paper: Metabolic enzyme PAL can go into the nucleus in response to high product build up and sequester an activating TF of the pathway, thus acting as a feedback inhibition loop.

Very nice genetic dissection of the roles of BSK kinases in brassinosteroid signaling by Wenqiang Tang's lab. bsk-u (ko for BSK1 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 & 12) really looks like a bri1 null mutant and can be rescued by over-expressing BSK3. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....
Oops, I think this part got all the documentation: registry.igem.org/parts/bba-25.... Or ask Nicole, she'll definetly know
You could try the one the iGEM team made this year (registry.igem.org/parts/bba-25...), should still be in the Signalhaus. to use it it not as an intermedia but rather as primary, you just have to change the epitope I guess 👍
And save >80% on the cost by pooling 6 or more plasmids into a single sample using our free SAVEMONEY algorithm!
