In our late night deep dive into the octopus that builds a biological stroller for her kiddos-- we also found this helpful illustration on how argo mamas maintain their position in the water column carting her eggs & body around! I've titled this phenomenon "bobbing for buoyancy" and I'm Obceph'd!!! 📚 Source: The argonaut shell: gas-mediated buoyancy control in a pelagic octopus Julian K. Finn and Mark D.

Dear bioinformaticians, is there a repository for bed files of whole-exome sequencing data (for GRCh37 and GRCh38)? #Genomics #Biology #Bioinformatics

Vorrei vedere dove mettono i condizionatori, questi della NASA.
July 2023 was the hottest month on record, according to our global temperature analysis. Overall, July was 0.43°F (0.24°C) warmer than any other July in @NASAEarth's record, and it's likely due to human activity. Details: go.nasa.gov/3OTWMh7

Visto che i negazionisti postano ritagli di 60 anni fa de "La Voce di Pizzighettone" per dimostrare che in estate faceva caldo, riporto i miei "ritagli" preferiti degli ultimi 100+ anni che mostrano ben altro. La selezione è arbitraria e incompleta. 🧵 1/n

This paper is a lot of firsts. It is the first paper of the Evolutionary Genomics Lab, of course with the valuable input and help of Christoforos Nikolaou (@guilderstern), Nikos Vakirls' (@vakirlis) first last-author paper and my first first-author paper. academic.oup.com/mbe/advance…

Dear all, there is anyone that knows because the distances as the crows flies calculated in Google earth/maps and those calculated by R packages are like 25% off? Like: Nice Marseille is given as ~160 km by Google and 214 by all R packages. But the _driving_ distance is < 200...

First time I'm asking this, a retweet would be greatly appreciated! I'm looking for fresh or soon-to-be PhDs interested in applying for an EMBO postdoc fellowship to work on genetic novelty (and more) based in Greece. The odds should be in their favor 👇
