Another HUGE cancer breakthrough! Daily low-dose aspirin cuts the risk of cancer spreading (metastasis) by ~55% overall, and by an incredible 74% for colorectal cancer! This study shows why: it leashes T-cells so the immune system fights it. Cheap, safe, could change cancer care!

An awesome PhD opportunity in the Swarts lab!

🔥New paper! 🔥

Distribution of bacterial DNA repair proteins and their co-occurrence with immune systems (https://t.co/nTeQGEqM1x)

It started with a simple question: Are certain prokaryotic immune systems always (or never) encoded with specific DNA repair proteins?...

Check out our new work @NatureComms by awesome grad student Rodrigo Fregoso Ocampo and former postdoc @jpkbravo @TexasScience @ut_mbs! Guide RNA folds into gnarly geometry to tether tiny protein domains together. Great to collaborate with @metagenomi! https://t.co/KtdXg5EdG4

Wondering which of Cas12a2's three collateral substrates it prefers to cleave? Work by Thom Hallmark @tjHallmark , Sobita Kunwar, and several others, including Sudeshna Manna from the Beisel Lab @BeiselLab answer this question: https://t.co/M6mxGjG7sc

Never seen RNA structures like these before. Congrats to @RachaelKretsch and rest of team https://t.co/kYbdWt07XC

Proud to announce my graduation from @UStateScience with a B.S. in Biochemistry! Next stop: grad school at @utahbioscience !!!! Huge thanks to my mentor Ryan Jackson @Jackson_Lab_USU for his invaluable guidance. Excited for the journey ahead!

[Thomson Hallmark, PhD @tjHallmark]

Successfully defended my dissertation today @USUAggies. Officially #PhDone 🎉! Thanks @Jackson_Lab_USU for all the awesome experiences.

@VoM_2024 anyone interested in a job as an assistant research fellow to work on #phages in my lab? Deadline is this Sunday. Come talk with me if interested or follow the link below.

#AF3 is amazing but the webserver does not display all scores needed to evaluate a model. Our Colab-based AlphaFold3 score visualizer helps! Check it out at https://t.co/KqnGuD48UI Thanks to Robin Schaeper!
