- Reposted by Vangeli GeshkovskiDuring germline epigenetic reprogramming, Polycomb must be restricted in the gametes to ensure proper genome regulation in the fertilized embryo. 2 must-read papers assess what happens when Ezhip (Polycomb antagonist) is lost. They come to highly similar conclusions and should be read in tandem 1/4

- Reposted by Vangeli GeshkovskiCool work, but comments like "protein centric view of the central dogma" have to stop. 1) That's not what the central dogma was about & 2) Jacob/Monod/Lwoff were awarded the Nobel in 1965 for demonstrating that genes are regulated by non-coding regions.

Thus we have Editors who are clerks, sending and re-sending manuscripts to reviewers until they are happy. That's not the job. Be an Editor, not a clerk. Use your skill and judgement. Make decisions.
