Amanda Raine @mindymandy.bsky.social · 27/10/2025Excited to share the preprint of our latest equine asthma study! We characterized circulating cell-free RNA in healthy and asthmatic horses and identified both immune signature shifts and transcriptional signatures consistent with airway remodeling in asthmatic horses🐎🐴 021

Reposted by Amanda RaineAylwyn Scally @aylwyn-scally.bsky.social · 08/04/2025Colossal Biosciences' 'dire wolves' are the latest in a long tradition of dressing up or otherwise modifying existing animals and pretending they are new or extinct species. The jackalope was a famous example, concocted in the 1930s by a taxidermist in Wyoming. 69521

We have a set of traits in a set of organisms where we know causal genes or alleles, and the consequences of knockouts. 3226
