We are hiring graduate students and post-doctoral fellows! Visit our website at https://laulab.net and follow us on @edwardlau and on https://post.news/edwardlau!

Welcome to our first-year Integrated Physiology students on campus!

Wow, this seems a very draconian and impractical stance for #NIH to take for its grants involving foreign partners! 👇

Article below haa a full takedown. #academicchatter #funding @academicchatter

"Beginning October 1, 2023, foreign subaward recipients will be required to provide the U.S. prime grantee “copies of all lab notebooks, all data and all documentation that support the research outcomes…no less than every six months, or more frequently based on risks”"

It was a pleasure having summer students Abigiya Abate and Gabe Wu work with us in the lab. Both did a stellar job and will be an asset to any graduate programs!
Based on these 2 images, which region of SPARCL1:p corresponds to the nicely folded set of α-helices and β-sheets & which region is a gnarly freak show of E/D-dominated low complexity domains?
Fun conference at @us_hupo last week. Congrats again to Jordan who received the HUPO Travel Award and gave an excellent oral presentation on his project!
Excited for @us_hupo conference next week. Come check out the talk by Jordan Currie (OA07.01) on protein turnover and localization analysis in Parallel Session 07: Protein Dynamics and Turnover on Tuesday 3/7 11:30-12:50!

Seems sensible to me right now, but with the speed of change, how long will this hold true? What properties or abilities would you expect an AI to have for it to qualify for authorship in a scholarly context?

Personal responsibility, consent and agency come to mind, but I have no idea how one would validate these properties.

I suspect scientific editors will be confronting this soon. 2/

Enhancement of a prime editing system via optimal recruitment of the pioneer transcription factor P65 - Nature Communications

Prime editing represents a great advance to the genome editing field but is currently limited by the editing efficiency. Here the authors look to improve the efficiency by recruiting target proteins and show that the transcription factor P65 could enhance the desired editing outcomes at different gene loci.

dplyr 1.1.0 is out now! 🎉

This is a huge release, so we split the announcement into 4 posts to be released throughout the week. #rstats

Today we'll focus on joins, including:
- join_by()
- Inequality and rolling joins
- Two new quality control arguments

https://www.tidyverse.org/blog/2023/01/dplyr-1-1-0-joins/

dplyr 1.1.0: Joins

In dplyr 1.1.0, joins have been greatly reworked, including a new way to specify join columns, support for inequality, rolling, and overlap joins, and two new quality control arguments.

We have integrated semi-supervised PSM rescoring in the ANN-SoLo open modification spectral library search engine.

Open modification searching = identify modified peptides without explicitly having to specify PTMs.

PSM rescoring = more accurate and sensitive spectrum identification results.

Open modification searching + PSM rescoring = Win! 💪

Now published in JPR: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jproteome.2c00616
