Must-know numbers in human genetics -- As many of you know, I'm writing a free online textbook in human genetics. In this blog post I cover a key skill for genome scientists from that book: how to use mental math to figure out key genome properties. jkpritchard.substack.com/p/on-fermi-p...

On Fermi Problems in Human Genetics

and some very useful numbers about human genomes to get you started!

Excited to share our new findings in @science.org on how the DRT3 bacterial defense system uses a reverse transcriptase that builds DNA repeats without a nucleic acid template. Microbes never cease to amaze! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

So, this should be quite interesting! We just posted a BIG update to our Omnibenchmark "framework", basically a software layer to help you manage, build, standardize, and orchestrate reproducible and extensible (computational method) benchmarks .. (quite a mouthful) .. arxiv.org/abs/2409.17038

Benchmarking involves designing, running and disseminating rigorous performance assessments of methods, most often for data analysis and software tools, but the process can also be applied to experime...

Als direkte Demokratie braucht die Schweiz vielfältige & unabhängige Medien. Über 600 Professor:innen aus allen Sprachregionen & Disziplinen setzen sich deshalb ein für einen starken Service public und sagen «Nein» zur Halbierungsinitiative. ➡️ www.wissenschaft-fuer-den-service-public.ch

Out today in @science.org! What if you could chart cells' regulatory programs at unprecedented resolution? In my work with Jorge Martin-Rufino from the @bloodgenes.bsky.social lab, we dissect the genome’s control circuits and find where key genetic variation hides bit.ly/3YhBMoO

Transcription factor networks disproportionately enrich for heritability of blood cell phenotypes

Most phenotype-associated genetic variants map to noncoding regulatory regions of the human genome, but their mechanisms remain elusive in most cases. We developed a highly efficient strategy, Perturb...

How to write a grant? 1. The application is for the reviewer, not you, the applicant. 2. Communicate in stories. 3. Make your story cohesive—leave no puzzling gaps. 4. Make your story resonate to keep the reviewer reading. 5. Accept chance and noise in peer-review. www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10....
