Interested in proteomics technologies, pQTLs, proteome variation in health and diseases. Views are my own.
1) Talk titled “High-throughput Plasma Proteomics Empowers Population-based Studies” at the @evosep.bsky.social breakfast seminar on November 10th from 8:00 - 9:00.

2) Poster about the circulating cytokine landscape in liver inflammation on November 11th from 1:15 PM - 3:15 PM ( PV.02.152)

Only that the flowers look more like daisy than valerian 😂

Based on @kauralasoo.bsky.social ‘s comment about the variant also being a fine-mapped spiceQTL. I guess the “competing image” is that it’s hard to determine which MoA is truly driving the observed effect based on information we currently have.

BCAT2: 2 black cats (?) 😆

BCAT2 encoding the mitochondrial branched-chain amino acid transaminase 2, an enzyme that catalyzes BCAA catabolism.

A missense variant causing SAV Gln60Glu.

Link to the cue is that the wire connector serves as a concatenate function as cat() in R with ‘CAT’ in BCAT2 and CATabolism(?)

Ohhh I might know this one! The trait may be related to pigmentation. The SNP is a missense variant in the TYR gene, which encodes tyrosinase, an enzyme that catalyzes the first step of melanin production by converting tyrosine to dopaquinone. Link to the pun is that the car is a black convertible.

Haha, looking forward to yours

…but with a missing (NA) chair (CHR) too?

Oh it must be related to red herring 😆 a misleading clue

SLC13A2 because it’s right (red?) in front of FOXN1 and PIGS? 😂Location wise

I was looking for MSTN, Belgian Blue…

I hope it comes out soon… and it should

TRPM6? encodes a protein that acts as a channel for cellular and epithelial magnesium transport. Didn’t get the link to the hint though.
