Wow.

(It's not clear that the boost to downstream outcomes like flyouts could hold in long-run equilibrium, or that added visibility really is the mechanism driving it. But still, pretty striking, QED!)

Imagine this:
... in vivo gene edit of hematopoiesis for a genetic disease ...
... combined with a second edit (see below) ...
... and then safely removing the unedited cells to heal hematopoiesis!
No need to imagine - it's right here!!

This is a fascinating paper in Nature this week: increasing the weight loss capacity of semaglutide (Ozempic - the GLP-1 receptor agonist)

The idea is to combine GLP-1 with an NMDA receptor antagonist (known to rewire the brain, and previously linked with weight loss) in a

Delighted to share our preprint on mapping the genetic association with intra-individual variability of gene expression. We introduced a new statistical framework to identify single-cell variance eQTL and applied it to OneK1K cohort.

Great work from Australia from Prof Andrew Mallett group! Finally implementing WGS also in adults to resolve complex diagnoses. More than 80 health systems in North America routinely employ WGS as a diagnostic tool, but they are all pediatric. Let’s bring this to the adult population
