With #CRISPR being recognized in the #NobelPrize2020 last week, here's a quick look at a dozen books that currently or will cover the science, scientists and ethics of CRISPR and gene editing... apologies if I've missed any {thread}
My new book EDITING HUMANITY takes a fun ride with the "heroes of CRISPR", detailing the research that culminated in the Doudna-Charpentier Nobel Prize. I also cover the #CRISPRbabies saga and the ethics of genome editing. @Pegasus_Books

In 2017, Doudna and @shsternberg published the excellent "A Crack in Creation", part CRISPR primer, part memoir in which Doudna recounts her personal scientific journey and bioethical awakening. @HMHCo

E a edição genética pela técnica CRISPR dá o prêmio Nobel de Química para duas cientistas mulheres!

Emmanuelle Charpentier (França) e Jennifer A. Doudna (EUA)

🏆🥇🎉🧫🧬 Viva!!!

#NobelPrize2020
O prêmio destaca não só a descoberta da "tesoura genética" molecular como seu aprimoramento, permitindo cortar o DNA em qualquer ponto para promover mudanças que incluem a perspepectiva para tratamento de doenças genéticas graves. (+)
Nas palavras do comitê do Nobel, eles as premiam por “uma das ferramentas mais afiadas da tecnologia genética: a tesoura CRISPR/Cas9”, a partir da qual hoje é “possível alterar o DNA de animais, plantas e microrganismos com extrema precisão”.

#NobelPrize2020 Una mitad del premio nobel fue hoy entregada a Andrea Ghez (UCLA) y Reinhard Genzel (Instituto Max Planck de Física Extraterrestre en Garching y UC,Berkeley) por sus investigaciones en una región llamada Sagitario A * en el centro de nuestra galaxia.(hilo)
En la figura anterior podemos ver la observación con óptica adaptativa de la región con telescopios del Observatorio W.M. Keck. Observaciones realizadas por el equipo de la Prof. Anrea Ghez. Con esta técnica se puede observar claramente (resolver) las estrellas en la región.
Realizando observaciones sistemáticas durante 16 años, este equipo logró analizar las posiciones de las estrellas a lo largo del tiempo. En la siguiente simulación devenida de las observaciones, se puede ver la trayectorias de ciertas estrellas.

1.❗❗Нобелевская премия по физиологии или медицине 2020 сегодня вручена Harvey J. Alter, Michael Houghton и Charles Rice за открытие вируса Гепатита С 🦠

Мой новый тред по этому поводу о открытие и лечение Гепатита С.
Коротко и доступно. Поехали.

2. Для начала немного основных понятий. Гепатит это воспаление печени, но причины ему могут быть разные. Например от чрезмерным выпивания или отравления.
Но наибольшей массовой проблемой является вирусный гепатит.
Причиной этому вирусы гепатита, а именно основные: A, B и C.
3. Вот очень наглядный обзор основных типов вирусов гепатита, последствий и видов заражения.
Но основные нам знакомые типы это A и B. Это различие было введено британским врачём MacCallum ещё в 1947 году по наблюдениям основных видов заражения (А через еду, B через кровь).

Sure, "polls aren't votes", but 15 pts down means Trump's (ym"sh) vulnerable, dries up fundraising, allows GOP electeds to contradict him publicly, allows reporters to treat him normally & not as the magician of 2016 who commands a cult of violent kooks.
To combat the complacency that the polling imbalance could bring, I suggest telling fellow anti-Trumpites that no matter how much DJT is down in November, when you vote, it will feel as good as punching him in the face with all of your strength

The new year begins and I usher into a scientific journey where I shall be challenging myself with scientific quest and reviewing a scientific article/blog/interview/technique or facts on a daily basis. (or at least try😉) #365DaysOfScience
Let the journey begin.
The most cited article (over 300,000 times) is the @jbiolchem paper for a technique to estimate protein concentration in a solution. The paper is "Protein measurement with the folin phenol reagent".

Yes, the classic Lowry's method was published in May 1951. This is a colourimetric assay which gives an estimation of the amount of protein based on a standard curve obtained from a protein of known concentration (usually BSA).
