Bizarre that our 2020 #Drosophila #AMP review already feels out of date. Thanks to #AnnualReviews to cover the many updates in the field and present a much more complete picture of the diversity, mechanisms, topics, of fly immunity re: host defence peptides. www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

We (@sobuelow.bsky.social) developed AF-CALVADOS to integrate AlphaFold and CALVADOS to simulate flexible multidomain proteins at scale See preprint for: — Ensembles of >12000 full-length human proteins — Analysis of IDRs in >1500 TFs 📜 doi.org/10.1101/2025... 💾 github.com/KULL-Centre/...

Our collab w. V Goel, @nicholas-aboreden.bsky.social , J Jusuf, G Blobel, L Mirny, @irate-physicist.bsky.social out in @natsmb.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41... Was co-submitted with @allanaschooley.bsky.social @jobdekker.bsky.social whose paper should also come out soon Brief thread 👇

“Harvard geneticist David Reich said … increasingly sophisticated analysis of genetic material made possible by technological advances shows that virtually everyone came from somewhere else, and everyone’s genetic background shows a mix from different waves of migration that washed over the globe.”

Genes are not On/Off switches. In a new preprint we show that HDAC3 is key to establish correct transcriptional dose in development. Gr8 work from N. Stamidis @ucph.bsky.social and collab. @jamiehackett.bsky.social @gregersenlab.bsky.social . Huge thx to all authors! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Guess, I'll have a coffee then.

12. Like art, music, philosophy, and literature, science is literally part of humanity's heritage. My colleagues and I have had the amazing opportunity to be part of something vastly larger than ourselves, with meaning that transcends any state, regime, or generation. They can't take that away.

Important reminder by @vivienm.bsky.social that actively shaping the context in laboratories makes a difference for how included, represented and balanced researchers feel. Apart from being the right way of treating others, respect directly improves productivity, too. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I’ve unfortunately needed to add more material to my post from yesterday. The re-election of Donald Trump is looking like the biggest act of American self-destruction since the Civil War. Same link, new title and some updates.

How can we build better predictive models? And what can AI tell us about complex ecosystem mechanisms? I’m hiring a PhD student to work with me on applying data-driven discovery methods on high-frequency lake data to begin September 2025. Application is due on May 4.

In 1933, the German Chancellor dismantled democracy in only 53 days. History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Our new paper is finally out, showing that the same enhancer sequences - and likely the same transcription factors recruited to them - affect the activity of distal enhancers and their looping over to target gene promoters. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
