A massive update: At least ~15 companies~ are selling scientists antibodies using faked validation data. We've documented 18,000+ manipulated images on 17,000+ products sold by leading laboratory suppliers including Thermo Fisher, Abcam, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Millipore Sigma and Bio-Techne. 1/🧵

Cross-species reactivity isn’t guaranteed. Before ordering, check sequence conservation with BLAST, inspect structural context near an epitope, and search the literature for prior use. What else is on your checklist?https://dshb.biology.uiowa.edu/blog#post=choosing-an-antibody-with-confidence

Happy to share that I will be joining the Biology Department and Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center at University of Iowa as an assistant professor in summer 2027! My lab will study how recombination is regulated to prevent non-allelic repair and genome rearrangements, and their relation to cancer.

Preprint out! Salamanders harbor a hypersensitive mTOR, thought to enable their remarkable limb regeneration. But do you need a special mTOR to regrow appendages? In Polypterus, we find that a canonical mTOR pathway supports full appendage regeneration. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
