Just in time for Karneval, we present coelsch ! 🎭🥳 A platform-agnostic framework for single-cell recombination analysis. We study crossover variation in mutants & natural lines, identifying the largest natural inversion in A. thaliana to date! 📄 doi.org/10.64898/202... 🐱 github.com/schneeberger...

AlphaFold is great, but contrary to public opinion it has not completely solved the protein folding problem. Much work remains to be done. clauswilke.substack.com/p/no-alphafo...

Carey is a post-doc in my lab working on RNA methylation - but we spend a lot of time talking about ash trees! Today, her PhD work on the population genomics of ash die-back is published in Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

1/ 🚨 My first PhD preprint is out on bioRxiv! We show how tiny mutations—point mutations and kb-level indels—can shape the massive structure of Arabidopsis centromeres. 📄 Read it here: doi.org/10.1101/2025... 🧵 A short thread 👇

HMMER is the bedrock of genomic annotation globally, and now its funding is terminated for no reason. @cryptogenomicon.bsky.social is now on bsky:

a society where "bad immigrants" are demonised is a society where no immigrant can truly feel welcome, because aren't we all just one wrong turn or accident away from being unemployed? on disability benefits? unable to care for our children without state help? just no such thing as a safe immigrant

📢 We are hiring! 📢 We are looking for a postdoc to help us work out why mice cannot regenerate the spinal cord but spiny mice *can*. More info and how to apply: tinyurl.com/4m6yzbef Get in touch if interested!
