The first of many novel Antarctic fungi to be described by the #Ferrarilab in collab with Brett Summerell and @BotanicSydney@AlintaFurnell@XabiVC@jordan_vink marcwilkins Penicillium psychrofluorescens sp. nov., a naturally autofluorescent Antarc fungus https://t.co/34Qr67fpOR
I was asked to contribute an entry on 'Ancestral Reconstruction: Theory & Practice" for the Encyclopedia of Evolutionary Biology, 2nd Edition. The encyclopedia doesn't come out until next year, but my contribution is already available online: https://t.co/nyNIfWukXn.
@ATinyGreenCell Cool thread! Have you tried added nanoparticles? e.g. Au-NP and MgO-NP have been shown to improve PCR results in general, including for high GC templates.

prob still too much into the "exotic" isle of PCR reagents...
If you are interested in collapsing nodes of a phylogeny, but you, as I did, struggle doing it with ggtree, I programmed a ggtree extension that allows you to easily collapse the nodes you want. 🧵️

🧬What are protein language models (PLMs) actually learning about biology? Our paper introduces InterPLM - a framework that reveals interpretable features in PLMs using sparse autoencoders, giving us a window into how these models represent protein structure and function.

Happy to share a chapter of my PhD thesis🐣! We review the diversity of the cell envelope in Terrabacteria which tell us a lot about outer membrane biogenesis and the diderm-to-monoderm transition. Thanks to my co-authors Najwa Taib @ChrisBel70 @SGribaldo

I really like this. I’m decent at Python but R is still the language I feel most comfortable with, so this made some concepts a little more crystallized for me via analogy to R. I think it’s a great resource for people who started with R

@ENASequence at least 2 independent users have flagged issues with "submittable" taxa according to the REST API, being "not submittable" by webin-cli when submitting genomes - with no response to support tickets
Could you provide any feedback on this?

We have posted a statement about the current situation of SILVA as well as the hardware issues we are currently facing: https://t.co/dA8NTc30NF
We are sorry for the inconvenience and hope to be back soon with the reliable service you are used from us! - The SILVA team
⚛️Protein structures are key to elucidating molecular details of cellular processes. #AlphaFold2 & others unveiled millions of tertiary structures, but these proteins' quaternary structures remain mostly a mystery. Here's how to bridge the gap. Thread👇 https://t.co/pdXzNKdxxB
New in JBC press: "Scientists' findings demonstrate how protein methyltransferases can be highly selective towards a single residue on a single protein in the cell."
