Interesting paper, relating de novo mutation rate to epigenetic features. Wonder exactly how this connects to the fact that the background mutation rate in cancer genomes depends strongly on epigenetics.

Ronen Segev on Twitter: “The fish were tasked to “drive” the vehicle towards a visual target in the terrestr ial environment, which was observable through the walls of the tank.

The Up-Goer Five Text Editor

Recently discovered the Up-Goer Five website
(https://splasho.com/upgoer5) from the
@NaturePodcast. It makes you write text using only the thousand (or ‘ten hundred’) most common words. Great for removing jargon & forcing you to explain science in the simplest possible way.
