#SystemsGenetics aims to understand how genetic diversity translates into phenotypic diversity, studying how information is transmitted from the #Genome through RNA proteins and beyond.

"Our results further suggest that there could be an optimal number of MHC alleles per individual and that deviations from this optimum are compensated by adjusting expression levels."
'Here, we use photo-labeling, combined with longitudinal transcriptomic and cellular analyses, to interrogate the fate of intratumoral NK cells. We reveal that NK cells rapidly lose effector functions and adopt a distinct phenotypic state with features associated with tissue residency.'

Excellent. We can't have some Schengen members unilaterally changing the rules because a loophole in one country effectively opens that same loophole throughout Schengen - at least on continental Europe.
Anyway, why the hell should Britons get any different treatment compared to citizens of any other 3rd country? To quote a Tory, Brexit means Brexit. Doesn't it?

Hashtags can also extend your reach but should be used sparingly to avoid making your text look cluttered and “spammy”.'

Excellent article on mansplaining by historian Charlotte Lydia Riley that resonates in every field.

📢Important CoVariants Update📢
Due to the ever-growing data in CoVariants, we've had to move some files to keep the website functioning. (This is also why an update has been delayed.)
If you use files from CoVariants in your workflow please update the links 🔗! (See 👇🏻)

Seen on the other place.
I have been mystified why K represented Lysine for many years. Undergrad #biochemistry lecturer said “I don't know why, but I assume it is because of the end of the side chain looks like a K”. Well, turns out the answer is more simple.

'We didn’t get a name for algorithms until a couple thousand years later, when European scholars translated Kitab al-Jabr wa-l-Muqabala (“The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing”), the landmark work of Persian mathematician al-Khwarizmi, from Arabic to Latin. Those researchers also Latinized al-Khwarizmi’s name to “Algoritmi,” which was then used to describe mathematical processes. We also get the word “algebra” from the book’s shortened title (Al-Jabr).'

Welp, I'm done with Substack. I'm in the process of migrating over to Beehiiv, which will likely take me all day, with tweaks over the weekend, but the plan is my next Monday newsletter will come from Beehiiv.

Latest data from the weekly flu and covid19 surveillance report is showing an uptick in flu but also rhinovirus (which causes cold like symptoms). It’s not too late to get a flu vaccine which can be purchased from chemist/supermarkets.

'Half of the $18.7bn spent on R&D to tackle priority diseases between 2014 and 2022 was provided by the US government. The reliance on US funding was a “major vulnerability” that leaves pandemic preparedness “very sensitive” to political upheavals, the 100 Days Mission report said.'
