Our paper "Gene ancestries reveal diverse microbial associations during eukaryogenesis.” is finally out in Nature. Eukaryogenesis was likely a gradual process shaped by multiple microbial partners and virus-mediated gene transfer, rather than a single binary symbiosis. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

A neuroepithelial tumor occurred in a child who had previously received AAV gene therapy for mucopolysaccharidosis type I. Analysis of tumor tissue showed the integration of rearranged AAV vector elements in the gene PLAG1. Full report: https://nej.md/4cXAAPt #ASGCT2026 | @asgct.bsky.social

I find this astonishing

"a long non-coding RNA transcribed from a DNA region in the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae translocates into host rice cells and sequesters a complementary microRNA (miRNA), derived from a distinct host DNA region, thereby subverting host immunity" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The first cut is the deepest: Cleavable signal peptides direct thousands of different nascent proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum. Oddly, SPs are all different and nevertheless cleaved with exquisite specificity. Our new cryo-EM structures + MD solve this paradox: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New preprint. In S. sanguinis, a C5a peptidase-like protease (ScpH) polymerizes along eDNA, turning it into a catalytic biofilm scaffold. Great work from @robinanger.bsky.social in our lab, with Pelicic lab @lcbofficiel.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Meidas Touch is leaning hard into the BlueAnon conspiracism. This is embarrassing.

"new level of corruption" sad how little people know about our country in this book, great for a 10 year old boy completebookofmarvels.com author talks about Fort Jefferson, built in 1825 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Je... which was a synonym for corruption - each brick costing a dollar !!

Trump said Obama was a bad dealmaker for giving Iran’s frozen assets back to get a nuclear deal that wouldn’t otherwise exist, Trump’s paying billions to clean up his own mess!

"Honest, serious question" re #Platner why is it so hard for people to understand that there is a **big difference between a US senate with 51 senators who caucus with the dems and a senate with 49 senators who caucus with dems ?? why is this so hard ?

Re Trump IRS has anyone on bluesky mentioned what the Times notes here ? cause if not, the Times is better then bluesky LOL

Of all of the things that Platner has done to make me suspicious of him, cranking his hog in a porta shitter isn't one of them. He was enlisted. That is baseline enlisted dude behavior. Jerking it in a porta shitter is, arguably, is the most normal thing I've heard of him doing.

@sailormichael.bsky.social you people need to grow up there is a big difference, a really big difference, when we gain a senate seat yeah, Platner is an odious POS but having a democrat in that seat is better then having a republican

Imagine thinking that more then 10% of the people here are grown ups when it comes to politics :)

two almost identical posts, from diff people, adjacent to each other ?

I know that hyperbole and humor are standard on social media but even so this is such BS, and such ignorant BS, that it isn't funny

This may be true, but as to Mass Transit yesterday I took the "T" in Boston (the subway system) and it was a nightmare

The Manhattan Computerization Project – a huge infrastructure project we don’t hear about. Years before engineers developed ITS (intelligent transportation systems), New York’s traffic commissioner was computerizing traffic control systems throughout the city. ...

Over the past 20 years, how many times has G announced some big new thing that fizzled out ?

this post by the hype is of course partly humor, but it is odd to me that so many here don't realize how the rich have, often, very often, no idea how to enjoy their wealth you can see this in many ways: eg the absurdly low Q of "luxury" goods like super $$ houses

For anyone who has lost their Windows 11 drive bitlocker code, or never had one…..

hard to tell if this is satire or serious

I shed no tears for Senator Bill Cassidy. Yes his single act of moral courage led to the demise of his political fortunes. And yet, unlike many of his Senate colleagues, he’s a doctor (and by all accounts a good one) who must have known the damage his tacit support to RFK Jr and others would cause.

In ALABAMA, this boils down to: PREMIUMS: ACA enrollees went from paying an average of $780 last year to $1,512 this year...a 94% increase. OUT OF POCKET: ACA enrollees went from paying an average of ~$1,370 last year to ~$2,200 this year...a 60% increase. Combined, that's an additional ~$1,600.
