Today is International DNA Day, commemorating the day in 1953 when Crick, Watson, Wilkins and Franklin published their papers on the structure of DNA. Fifty years later, with the declaration that the human genome project was close to completion the US Senate and the House of Representatives declared that 25 ^th April 2003 would be the first DNA Day, and ever since many (including ourselves through many blogs) have commemorated the date.

As another DNA Day treat GigaByte today publishes new benchmark data and analysis of the new CycloneSEQ platform, a novel sequencing technology using nanopores that demonstrates here the ability to sequence complete bacterial genomes. Getting our hands on a CycloneSeq sequencer Following on from the recent official launch of BGI’s new CycloneSEQ single-molecule sequencer the new Data Release published today in GigaByte presents

It has been 20 years since the conference that inaugurated Critical Studies in Television. The twentieth anniversary gives us an opportunity to pause and consider where our subject is and might go. We will host a range of international scholars who will discuss television studies as a discipline.

Re gular readers may have followed our community genome project Bauhinia Genome, and today marks the end of this journey with the publication in GigaScience of

Twelve years ago, a 2 a.m. email kickstarted the Open Access Button, OA.Work’s first scrappy attempt at making Open Access easier and more equitable. To mark this milestone, I wanted to share some of what we’re celebrating on this birthday, including some of the team’s recent achievements, where we are today, and the fact that our days now end at more humane hours… though my newborn hasn’t quite received the memo yet.

I get asked a lot how I have the time to read all these papers and articles I post about here. I don’t. Not all of them at least. I listen to many of them. Lately I’ve been using an app called ElevenReader , made by the popular text-to-speech service ElevenLabs. It’s free for iOS and Android.

I made a zine as a souvenir of my Design Justice student group presentations.

Diagnosing follicular neoplasms in thyroid fine-needle aspiration specimens can be difficult, and for good reason: it is a diagnostic category intended for a family of lesions for whom it is generally not possible to determine whether they are benign or not. This unfortunately means that most patients end up getting surgery to remove at least the half of their thyroid where the nodule is present despite the absence of a firm diagnosis.

This post is an updated version of the DOI registration workflow for a science blog post I published in September 2023. It reflects the best practices used by the Rogue Scholar science blog archive and contains one important announcement. In previous blog posts such as the one published earlier, I discussed the various elements involved in registering a DOI for a science blog post.
