I am very pleased to share that our latest research🧑‍🔬 from @LabPombo, about allele-specific chromatin structure 🧬, now live on bioRxiv. Shout out to @apombo1, Alexander Kukalev, Rieke Kempfer and the rest of the team for this remarkable work of science. ↓ Short thread below ↓

Today I submitted the final project of the LLM zoomcamp lnkd.in/dvAHjigX, hosted by @DataTalksClub. Very nice course where you learn state of the art technologies and complete it with a project. Highly recommended! My projects -> github.com/batxes #llmzoomcamp

"It turns out that pets also have last wills before they die, but only known to vets who put old and sick animals to sleep." Twitter user Jesse Dietrich asked a vet what the hardest part of his job was. The specialist replied without hesitation that the hardest thing for him was seeing how old or sick animals look for their owners before they fall asleep. The fact is 90% of owners don't want to be in a room with a dying animal. People leave so they don't see their animals leave. But they don't realize it's in these last moments of life that their animal needs them the most. Vets are asking owners to stay close to animals until the end. "It is inevitable that they die before you. Remember that you were the center of their lives. Maybe they were just a part of you. But they are also your family. Even if it's hard, don't give up on them. Don't let them die in a room with a stranger in a place they don't like. It's very painful for vets to see how pets can't find their owner in the last minutes of their lives. They don't understand why their master left them. After all, they needed the consolation of their master. Veterinarians do their best to make animals not so scared, but they are totally strangers to them. Don't be a coward because it's too painful for you. Think about the animal. Endure that pain for them. Be with them until the end.💞🙏

We found 2 dogs caged up and neglected on the 8th of June. To be honest you could hardly even recognize them as dogs. They’d been used for breeding. Today they got the most incredible bit of news. I’m absolutely speechless with happiness for them… (1/7) 🧵

What are the molecular effects of a single drug exposure 💉 on reward system #dopamine neurons 🧠? We found an unexpected role of 3D genome 🧬 structure in long-term cellular memory of a single #cocaine exposure. @domSzabo @vedranfranke @WarrenWinick @apombo1 @BIMSB_MDC 1/6

Find out how genome loci are anchored to the nucleolus! Exciting preprint @Trono_Lab shows that ZNF274 competes with CTCF to keep H3K9me3 silenced genome at the nucleolus periphery, fine-tuning cell-specific gene expression. preLight: @Silviacamoeira ⬇️ prelights.biologists.com/hig…

🐕‍En abril de 2011, una exempleada de la empresa Vivotecnia, situada en Tres Cantos, en la Comunidad de Madrid, filtró imágenes de maltrato animal provocado por la experimentación en este laboratorio. ¿Qué ha pasado desde entonces?
