  1. inbox : "We are excited to announce a new improvement to the UCSC Genome Browser: the Visible Tracks group. The Genome Browser now includes a dynamic track group that automatically displays all currently visible tracks in one convenient location. This means you no longer need to hunt through multiple track categories to adjust tracks you've already turned on."

  2. Turkey is now officially worked off.

    We rode a really nice but demanding 15.7 mile road bike ride from Natural Bridges in Santa Cruz CA up beyond the University of California at Santa Cruz this morning with the Tri Club. An 825 foot vertical climb from the coast to the top turn around really catches one’s attention. But the ride back down is well worth the climb.

    We’re reasonably lucky in Santa Cruz county to have a number of nice bike routes with a wide variation, from hills, to coastal routes, to rides through the agricultural fields. Santa Cruz has a lot of work to do to improve marked bike lanes, but it is getting steadily better

  4. Wunderbares Andenken an Bruce Bridgeman an der #UCSC, bei dem ich 1998 meine Studienarbeit gemacht habe.

  5. #ucsc We are pleased to announce the release of a new Public Hub, UniversalEPI ENCODE for hg38. This track hub displays normalized #atacseq and #HiC interaction predictions based on ENCODE data and generated using UniversalEPI. UniversalEPI is an attention-based deep ensemble model that predicts enhancer–promoter interactions (EPIs) up to 2 Mb apart using only DNA sequence and chromatin accessibility (ATAC-seq) data.

  6. new track format in the ucsc GenomeBrowser: "bedMethyl and bigMethyl Track Format" genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hel

    " This format is useful for base-resolution methylation data generated by bisulfite sequencing or direct methylation detection methods such as long-read sequencing. By including both methylation level and support (coverage), bedMethyl provides a detailed view of methylation across the genome."

  12. A current #UCSC student is being targeted to harassment and unlawful seizure due to their participation in protests and suits against the university:

    Whether or not you agree with their stance on the issues, now is the time to speak out against this kind of behavior from a public institution.

    You can let the UCSC Chancellor know how you feel here, and please share this! chancellor.ucsc.edu/contact-th

  13. Editorial by Bomi Choe in UCSC student newspaper.

    "Pawns in the Game: How the Model Minority Myth Makes Asian Americans Enable White Supremacy"

    "A lot of people I know have internalized the “model minority myth,” which characterizes Asians as high-achieving, hardworking and more intelligent in comparison to other racial groups such as Black and Latine Americans. These uninformed beliefs bury the long history of interracial solidarity throughout American history."

  14. "Sullivan, a PhD candidate in the environmental science department, received a “Notice of Intent to Dismiss” signed by Campus Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor (CP/EVC) Lori Kletzer on Aug. 5, 2024. This notice came after her participation in last spring’s academic student workers strike.

    Jess Fournier, a UC Santa Cruz graduate worker in the feminist studies department and one of the organizers of the Jan. 23 “Hands off Summer” rally spoke about the protesters’ goal.

    “The university is trying to make an example of her so that other people will be afraid to organize, afraid to talk to their coworkers, afraid to strike,” said Fournier in an interview with City on a Hill Press at the rally. “We’re trying to make sure that doesn’t happen. If you’re a worker, and you stand up for yourself, everybody will have your back.”"

    Alter Mond mit junger Kruste

    Der Mond ist älter als gedacht. Seine Kruste ist nach der Entstehung nochmal zum Teil aufgeschmolzen – und hat Forschende so bei der Altersbestimmung in die Irre geführt.
    "
    "Nach Einschätzung .. entstand der Mond vor 4,43 bis 4,51 Milliarden Jahren. .. Kruste scheint .. mindestens 80 Millionen Jahre jünger zu sein."

  18. @futurebird @blikkie At #UCSC in the late 1960s, we did not have separate dining rooms for faculty in general, although I’m sure that the Chancellor and his minions had a nice place of their own. Each residential college of 500-odd students had a dining commons that sat 300 or more, which we shared with our on-campus faculty couples and many of the commuters. However, the Junior Commons next to the dining halls had televisions, while the faculty-only #CrownCollege Senior Commons had much more comfortable leather couches, a walk-in marble fireplace (borrowed from Hearst’s San Simeon Castle), and sherry. We use it for small reunions now, but the couches haven’t held up so well.

  19. Congratulations to California's new state slug and mascot of my graduate alma mater UC Santa Cruz, the glorious banana slug (Ariolimax columbianus) - seen here in hermaphroditic embrace. That's right, they are nonbinary and therefore a perfect mascot for California!

  20. @sundogplanets I am certain that #ElephantSeals are worse. Especially the #AlphaMales from the #DeltaQuadrant. They are much larger, much louder, eat more of the crab and calamari that I like the best, and exhibit wildly excessive #SexualDimorphism. The beach masters’ #harem acquisition also condemns many perfectly fine male elephant seals to lives as #incels. I took a #CrownCollege Core class at #UCSC in 1968 from #BurneyLeBoeuf, who was just beginning his studies at #AñoNuevoStatePark while also fathering the field of #Psychobiology. Admittedly, the class was on an unrelated subject—#ScienceCultureAndMan, but, still, #ProveMeWrong.

  21. @sstrader @merileedkarr @alexwild In 1967, New College was the only college that recruited me. It looked interesting, but I went to #UCSC instead. The governance and academic changes being made by Governor #DeSantis will turn it into an intellectual cesspool.

  22. I was greeted by a rafter of wild turkeys on my way in to #bangbangcon this AM. The #UCSC campus continues to be ridiculously awesome.

  23. Multiple actions at Alma Mater: 80 UCSC protesters arrested, police from multiple Bay Area municipalities arrest and disrupt, clear protest encampment at entrance (for “emergencies” why can’t they go through alternate accesses?) and labor allies from UAW support teaching assistants. More at other UC campuses including Irvine later this week. mercurynews.com/2024/05/31/pol
