Excited 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🐎🐴

Dire wolves remain very extinct Despite what you are being fed, de-extinction is a con, full of gloss, bullshit and ghoulish greed.

HULK ADAM SMASHES DIRE WOLVES.

Man alive this vexes me, and I am a bit sweary and irritable in this. Enjoy.

Colossal 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.

We have known for a long time that CRISPR works - gene editing - β€œtraditional” indel inducing, base editing and funkier types. We have a set of traits in a set of organisms where we know causal genes or alleles, and the consequences of knockouts.

Reviving the woolly mammoth isn’t just unethical. It’s impossible | Adam Rutherford At a time when US scientists are under attack from their own government, the illiteracy around these elephantine fantasies is dangerous, says geneticist Adam Rutherford

A mammoth circus of macabre fantasy and moral bankruptcy.
I got my views on mammoths down. Enjoy.

The NGI OpenLab in Uppsala is a beta test for what we hope can be established at the other @scilifelab.bsky.social sites Sweden. If you are not Uppsala-based, but interested in the concept please reach out to us: ngisweden.scilifelab.se/contact/
