The U.S. was once the world’s most geographically mobile society. Now we’re stuck in place—and that’s a very big problem.

Technologies for estimating RNA expression at high throughput, in intact tissue slices, and with high spatial resolution (spatial transcriptomics; ST) shed new light on how cells communicate and tissu...

Spatial transcriptomics aims to elucidate cell coordination within biological tissues by linking the state of the cell with its local tissue microenvironment. Imaging-based assays are particularly pro...

Euler’s number $e := 2.71828\dots$ has, to me, always been a semi-mysterious number. While I understood many facts about $e$, I never felt I ever truly understood what it really was – it’s core essenc...

Pink Chicken Project suggests changing the colour of the entire species Gallus gallus domesticus to pink - using the recently invented CRISPR gene-drive technique.

Modern concepts of cancer immunology originated from the classic observations by Jensen, Loeb, Tyzzer, and Little in the early years of the 20th century of the rejection of transplanted allogeneic ...

There are so many buzzwords and best practices out there, but let's focus on something more fundamental. What matters is the amount of confusion developers feel when going through the code.

When we talk about image-based graphics, we talk about it being a regular collection (usually a grid) of samples (or pixels). It’s time to be a little more precise about this. The term pixel is (I’m t...

Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) provides unprecedented insights into cellular heterogeneity. Although scRNA-seq reads from most prevalent and popular tagged-end protocols are expected to arise ...

Artificial neural networks provide a powerful paradigm for nonbiological information processing. To understand whether similar principles could enable computation within living cells, we combined de n...

If you’re a practitioner of machine learning, then there is little doubt you have seen or used an algorithm that falls into the general category of kernel methods. The premier example of such methods ...

Research on so-called mirror cells, which defy fundamental properties of living organisms, should be prohibited as too dangerous, biologists said.

“Anscombe’s quartet” and the “datasaurus dozen” demonstrate the importance of visualizing data

Cells are crowded spaces packed with biomolecules colliding and interacting with one another. Despite this chaotic environment, biologists routinely describe intracellular functions using the clean ma...
