Regarding ELNs, after all these years I still wish Findingsapp by @cparnot.bsky.social got resurrected. Benchling is fine, but Findings was such a joy to work with. Maybe in the age of LLMs it would be feasible to do that, add an optional web interface and collaboration features

Findings has been discontinued and will no longer be developed 😥

Delighted to share our new paper on LXR agonism pre-conditioning T cells to more readily adopt effector states, out in @jem.org today. This was a long project started in @sohailtavazoie.bsky.social's lab and completed across the atlantic here in Berlin at Charité.

A fascinating finding on the therapeutic potential of targeting non-coding regions of MYC!

Does the noncoding genome actually carry more genetic information than coding seqs? Motivated by this question we mutated every bp in the 10kb MYC locus. Results are even more exciting: Decoding the MYC locus reveals a druggable ultraconserved RNA element www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Completely agree! Now I mainly wish for Prism and Flowjo replacements...

I'm a longtime fan of Affinity Designer as an affordable Illustrator-killer for figures, and... it's now free?! www.canva.com/newsroom/new... Highly recommended if you're sick of paying Adobe $. Maybe Canva can buy NPG too and get rid of the OA fees.

What a great thread on budgeting for an academic lab!!

@labliston.bsky.social avatarAdrian Liston@labliston.bsky.social

🧵How to write and manage your first research budgets The point of funding is to convert it into quality research. A well-spent research budget should fund the idea it was raised on, plus revision experiments, plus preliminary data for the next grant. So you need to spend, while avoiding waste.

Very happy that the first paper that started in our lab came out in @narjournal.bsky.social today ⭐🎊: BEscreen is a computational tool to design base editor sgRNA libraries for a broad range of use cases. It also allows for conveniently designing positive and negative controls and much more.
