🧬 Why do humans think so differently from Neanderthals? The answer might lie in gene switches, not the genes themselves.

Hi all, belated #introduction post. I migrated from facebook to twitter mainly because the science content was better and the interaction circle was wider. I've been lurking on mastodon for a few days and it looks very promising and welcoming. I have worked in #physics (condensed matter, spin systems etc), moved to #computationalbiology (#regulatorygenomics, #chromatin etc) and am currently also into #machinelearning and medicine, including working with clinicians. Looking forward to tooting!
