Wow indeed. This is a disaster for U.S. science in so many ways. We're losing the future.
Wow. Harvard nuking its PhD programs
- Science PhD admissions reduced by more than 75%
- Arts & Humanities reduced by about 60%
- Social Sciences by 50–70%
- History by 60%
- Biology by 75%
- The German department will lose all PhD seats
- Sociology from six PhD students to zero

🚨 New #zebrafish reference genomes released!
Both TU & AB assemblies now include long-missing regions; centromeres, telomeres, and segmental duplications (SDs). A major step toward complete, accurate models for functional & comparative genomics. 🧬🐟

The variation and evolution of complete human centromeres - Nature
A comparison of two complete sets of human centromeres reveals that the centromeres show at least a 4.1-fold increase in single-nucleotide variation compared with their unique flanks, and up to 3-fold...
