How do transcription factors find their targets and how long do they stay bound?

I suppose this is the reason for transcriptional heterogeneity among cells

A very complicated - but hopefully precise and reasonably high-throughput- way to do lineage tracing:

Not sure is this would be better than brainbow in zebrafish, need to read more thoroughly.

On vasculature possibly guiding nerve growth:

Being clueless can be advantageous:

How does this apply to scientific exploration?

Here is a dilemma: if you have $5,000, should you buy a used car or sequence your genome?

If you just wait, both will get cheaper :-

Enjoy.

    Weekly sciencey bits

    Disclaimer: This started as a "weekend reading list" meant to encourage students in the lab to think about science and their own future in it. Do not take it seriously: I myself may no longer agree with whatever I wrote here last week.
