A large portion of grants awarded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health cannot be funded for the foreseeable future because of an indefinite hold on submissions to the Federal Register, according to an email reviewed by The Transmitter. By @avaskham thetransmitter.org/funding/f…

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis or other (non-LCH) histiocytic sarcomas cases. I'm trying to understand non-surgical chemo and targeted therapy options, new pathology markers to better diagnose subtypes/treatments, and any data on progression in pediatric patients. Please feel free to share – I’m trying to cast a wide net due to the rarity of this condition and how little is known. People can contact me directly at my first name (as written in my profile) at octant.bio.

My book, An Intuitive Primer on Effective Functional Genomics Study Design, is published! I’d really appreciate it if you could help spread the word, and I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. It’s available on Amazon: tinyurl.com/mx2hewen

Burnout isn't about hours worked. In fact, there are usually much deeper causes. Leaders should start to recognize when it's occurring, And take steps to help. Use this graphic to find causes of burnout in your organization.

Haplotype-resolved 6 great ape genomes using @PacBio WGS + Iso-Seq for genome annotation. 215 gapless T2T chromosomes. Comparative analysis show higher divergence in centromere, telomere, aceocentric, SDs, 5- to 15-fold difference. ~40-45% of gorilla & orangutan genomes are transposable elements! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

looking forward to this paper on 6 great ape genomes, "great" in both the traditional sense and for assembly quality. From @aphillippy @EichlerLab @ArangRhie et al; just finished the first 3 pages which means I'm at the end of the author list! 🤣 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
