Public outcry pushed DOJ to investigate the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minnesota. But can we trust the outcome? @preetbharara.bsky.social and I discuss on a new episode of @cafedotcom.bsky.social Insider. Listen: cafe.visitlink.me/5S-Wgd

There's 1. glass half full people
2. glass half empty people
and
3. OMG that glass is about to shatter into 1000 pieces slashing my carotid artery and it's the SNP's fault, people.
The anti-independence media in Scotland is exclusively staffed by type 3.

With the @rokaslab.bsky.social, three novel whole genome duplication (WGD) events were discovered in the Saccharomycotina yeast species in the Dipodascales
clade. Before now, only four WGD events were known in fungi. This work suggests WGD may be underreported.

Excited to announce our latest publication in reporting evidence for three (3!) new whole genome duplications (WGDs) in yeasts. Scientists have often wondered why WGD is so rare in fungi, it turns out we may just not have been looking hard enough! 🧪 🍄 🧬

Thrilled to see this paper out! 🎉
We analyzed 470 (!) angiosperm genomes and identified and dated 132 whole-genome duplication events. Importantly, we observed that WGD occurrence dates are not randomly distributed, but clustered at times of major environmental upheaval.

Does it matter which route a cell takes towards whole-genome duplication?
Simon Gemble, Renata Basto et al show that only mitotic slippage leads to softening of the nucleus, making it more susceptible to deformation through the microtubule cytoskeleton

A little piece of history; an in-depth interview with our co-founder from 2013 that answers all the questions you might have had, not least why WGD is on the 22nd of May.
Of all the World Goth Day questions I get asked, the most asked is "why May 22nd?"
Thankfully I had a dig around & found this interview with The Blogging Goth from 2013 which explains all.
(Yes, I went under a different DJ name back then, which is another story.)
