Better late than never - extremely excited to share that UAB's Brain Awareness Week with @Mcwane Science Center (and beyond!) was published! In it, we share a GitHub with activities and a forum to discuss them so that you can easily get them up and running wherever you are.

Our paper in @Nature today 🥳 We tracked 6,438 mice from puberty to death and mapped the genetics of *when* you die, not just whether a gene associates with lifespan. nature.com/articles/s41586-0… 59 loci. Two decades of data. Thread 👇 #Longevity #Aging #Genetics #Healthspan

Dynamics of genetic and somatic trade-offs in ageing and mortality

Nature - Mapping DNA variants that modulate mortality using a starting population of 6,438 young mice defined 29 distinct loci that influence lifespan and mortality with divergent age- and...

We noticed something interesting (and frustrating) this winter because we had a number of cold spells here in Florida - when humidity drops, the food in our cages loses moisture and therefore weight, artificially increasing our food consumption measures. Anyone else noticed this?

1/ Exciting news! We just released a preprint on a new single-cell technology, ME-seq, that maps DNA methylation, gene expression & chromatin accessibility—all in the same cell, at scale. And yes, it’s a LOT cheaper 🤑than current methods! 🧬 #SingleCell #Epigenetics

So excited my doctorate work (and this excellent Preview by Yuhui Cui) is finally out @Neuron! We used human MDD profiling + mouse manipulation studies to identify an epigenetic regulator linking OFC astrocyte reactivity -> neuronal hyperexcitability -> stress susceptibility.

What’s better than a one-channel #Miniscope? 🥁 A TWO-CHANNEL Miniscope! Our new Miniscope2C is a dual-channel, open-source Miniscope that lets you record 2 fluorescent signals simultaneously in freely moving animals. Read the paper here: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… (1/9)

Another adult-onset neurological disorder that appears to be caused by a virus. Shingles - VZV Alzheimer's - VZV, HSV Multiple sclerosis - EBV I've long felt that we should be looking at human brain sequencing data at reads that do not map to the human genome.

Excited to share the first 2(!) preprints from the Kebschull Lab. The amazing @HyopilKim developed MAPseq2 & POINTseq and used them to map the dopaminergic cells of VTA and SNc. tl;dr MAPseq2=10x cheaper, 4x better; POINTseq=easy cell type specific barcoding; DA neurons=very cool

So you want to change transgene expression: just change your promoter, right? Changing the promoter increases RNA and thus protein levels. What more could be happening? [1/n] Well, promoters don’t just set RNA levels; they uniquely transform how RNAs are transmitted into protein levels. 🧵
