- Reposted by Irene BeuschOur first paper is out today in @natmicrobiol.nature.com! We introduce a prostate organoid model and show that UPEC invades prostate cells via FimH binding to the prostate-specific protein PAPP. A step toward targeted therapies against bacterial prostatitis. 🎉 #UTI #UPEC #Organoids #AMR

- Not being in single-cell genomics but having had colour blind co-workers: there are many many plots in papers that have the same problem. Programmes such as inkscape or illustrator will allow you to preview figures in „colour blind“ - it‘s a simple check to do!
- co-trx RNA folding for pre-mRNA and mature mRNA (after ribosome exit) may be largely driven by local folding~

- Reposted by Irene BeuschA pair of graphs I think about a lot. On the topic of pooled CRISPR screens, the left is "replicate correlation" when simply examining the abundance of guide RNAs, i.e. log-normalized read counts. On the right is taking those same data and subtracting from a common starting point, i.e. pDNA.
