Yet another #zebrafish genome update: We just updated our ZebrafishGenomics public datahub for the UCSC browser (available all the way at the bottom here: genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgHu...). We added several useful tracks including:

Remember the current NIH director going on about protecting researchers from government censorship? Today his people called the police in to forcibly remove my colleagues from their own society meeting for sharing an editorial published in their flagship journal that was critical of him. Gift link

I stand in solidarity with my colleagues at NW because I know what it feels like to silence yourself out of the conviction that the work we do is more important than the small piece of soul we lose every time we stay put. 4/4

hoping that my trainees will be able to persist even when I cannot. The way I see it, you fight and you roar as loudly as you can to protect those who cannot. And when you can’t roar out loud, you roar inside and keep doing the work that must continue so that all of us persist. 3/4

As a young developmental biologist studying Xenopus oogenesis, John Gurdon was my scientific hero for many reasons.

Yesterday, October 7, Sir John Gurdon passed away. Dr. Gurdon was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2012, together with Shinya Yamanaka. Through a series of experiments using Xenopus eggs, Gurdon showed that the nucleus of a mature cell can be reprogrammed to a pluripotent state.
