What if living cells compute in ways that silicon never can? Rather than mimicking computers, the future of biocomputation may lie in harnessing the unique information-processing strategies of evolution. Check this paper by @angelgm.eurosky.social and co. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti....

Molecular biologist & geneticist Susan Lindquist (b. #OTD in 1949) was a pioneer in studying protein folding. Her research demonstrated protein folding errors contribute heavily to neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's & Parkinson's diseases. National Medal of Science in 2010. #WomenInSTEM

Congratulations to CRG's @benlehner.bsky.social on receiving the 2026 Premio Rei Jaume I for Biomedical Research. The award recognises his pioneering discoveries on genetic variation, evolution and disease, helping transform our understanding of biology and human health. #genomics #genetics #CRG

📢📢 Job opening between the Bioinformatics Unit and my group (REPBIO) at @crg.eu Interested in contributing to our efforts to leverage long-read sequencing technologies for human genome research? Join us in Barcelona: recruitment.crg.eu/content/jobs... Please repost😊

1\ Excited to finally share some of my PhD work: OpenSplice! We measured how >590,000 mutations affect exon inclusion across 600 human exons, creating a resource to study splicing regulation, benchmark variant effect predictors, and support variant interpretation.

1/ Excited to share our new paper in Science @science.org: “Toward life with a 19-amino acid alphabet through generative artificial intelligence design.” A great collab w/ Sergey's group @sokrypton.org at MIT @columbiasysbio.bsky.social science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🦠🧬🛠️🖥️💥

We are looking for a new Director @cragenomica.bsky.social to help us keep growing and making even cooler science, come join us!, Application details www.cragenomica.es/sites/defaul... please, help us spread the word!

Another weekly reminder of the promise of sequencing airborne eDNA. So much to do. So much to learn. 🧬 🌍 🧑‍💻 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The latest AI/ML tools for co-folding proteins around small molecule ligands can produce impressive results. Until you start looking at them closely.

On the uses and misuses of airborne DNA detection 🌬️🌱🧬 www.elperiodico.com/es/ciencia/2... 🇪🇸 with David Duffy @ufresearch.bsky.social in @elperiodico.com

Our warmest congratulations to #ICREAResearcher José Luis Riechmann and team at @cragenomica.bsky.social#ICREAResearcher They discovered tiny peptides that could be key for flower development, conserved across plant species. 🌿🧪

Very few things in academia are as rewarding as witnessing the progress and growth of your students, their research and discoveries over the years. Such a nice weekend read by @robjohnnoble.bsky.social 🫶 (also: great title!)

Wonderful to have David Duffy with us last week! Lots of new biodiversity genomics and eDNA approaches in the making ... 🧬🐢🌦️ @crg.eu @prbb.org @ufresearch.bsky.social

🌱 Join us tomorrow for the seminar "Deep mutational scanning of plant hormone receptors" by Maximilian R. Stammnitz (@maxstammnitz.bsky.social) from the Center for Genomic Regulation (@crg.eu) 👀 Don't miss it! 👉 https://f.mtr.cool/pgnowtoakf

Multidisciplinary training, over time, produces the highest impact people www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

O maior fotógrafo do Brasil e um dos maiores do mundo descansa hoje. Vá em paz, Sebastião Salgado.

1 plant hormone receptor ☘️ 3,500 mutants, to single-site saturation 🧬 >45,000 binding and abundance measurements 📶 Very happy to present our latest work – where deep mutational scanning meets the world of small molecules.
