Looks like OpenFold3 has been formally released in a public "preview". Not quite on parity with AlphaFold3 on a few benchmarks shown, in particular for antibody interactions. All info on the github link. I am sure we will hear more about this from the developers github.com/aqlaboratory...

For over 20 years, the mouse model organism has helped scientists uncover the biology behind human health and disease. But the mouse reference genomes still have missing pieces. The first collection of telomere-to-telomere mouse genomes are now available for two key mouse strains. 🧬💻

Lego doesn’t sell the sets and instead has donated more than 10,000 of the kits to hospitals around the world. www.cnbc.com/2025/10/13/l...

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

LMB PhD studentship available in the Baum lab to use informatics to infer cell structure from genomic data in collaboration with the brilliant Tom Williams. If you write to me and I don’t reply - try again - the spam filter is hungry…

The #EDS has the pleasure to announce that, after #EDRC2027 in Bonn, we will have #EDRC2029 in Szeged! Don’t forget these hashtags!

This work was done by an amazing team of PhD students, undergraduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and wonderful colleagues at Hopkins, Yale (Rong Fan, Xiaoyu Qin, and Mei Zhong), UCSD (Lingyan Shi and Yajuan Li), the Max Planck Institute (David Zwicker), and U. Florida (Mark Atkinson and team).

🔎 Spotted in @natcomms.nature.com! Researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology used 7 of DSHB's mAbs in a study on how younger gut cells can slow intestinal aging and extend lifespan in fruit flies.

FlyBase, a Drosophila database, will lose a third of its team in early October because the Harvard grant that covered the employees’ salaries was canceled. Scientists warn that losing FlyBase could devastate fly research. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/community/ha...

Single-cell spatial transcriptomic atlas of the whole mouse brain 🐭🧠 www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... - incredible resource! At both adult and developing stages! 👏

This isn't a coincidence, IMO. The fly community is generally super rigorous - because there are so many tools and techniques available, people expect you to really nail things in order to get published (and keep getting funded)

OMG, this is such a cool paper from Patrick Caswell's lab. They express Rab25-mCherry-GFP-nanobody in cells, microinject GFP-magnetic particles, then use a magnet to pull Rab25 to the plasma membrane to show that it can trigger actin protrusions! I want this system. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
