Barbara McClintock is my idol so I was stoked to write this piece commemorating the 40-year anniversary of her Nobel Prize for the discovery of mobile genetic elements. What a legacy! Still so much we need to understand about these most fascinating elements!

An excavator digging into Theodul glacier to prepare for early season ski races - shocking images in Zermatt. Is this the future of alpine skiing in the face of melting glaciers? The absolute wrong path, we need to see more climate action from this industry.

[Turelli Priscilla @Turelli_EPFL]

Yeah! Our paper is published! Thank you to the whole #Trono_Lab COVID team!

@CD_AACR @KathleenHBurns @MassGenBrigham @UMLifeSciences @DanaFarber A ground-breaking paper! Congratulations to all the authors.

Sharing some new experimental data on BA.2.86:
1) BA.2.86 is antigenically distinct compared to XBB.1.5.
2) BA.2.86 can significantly escape XBB-infection/vaccination induced antibodies.
3) However, the infectivity of BA.2.86 may be much lower than XBB.1.5 and EG.5. (1/n)

[Turelli Priscilla @Turelli_EPFL]

Our new preprint is online! Hopefully the newly discovered amtibody will be helpful one day to people who need it!

By using deep learning-generated ‘fingerprints’ to characterize millions of protein fragments, our researchers have computationally designed novel protein binders that attach seamlessly to key targets, including the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. https://t.co/NzCVLGqZvs

Over 25,000 people attended the #EPFLOpenDays this weekend, enjoying a unique opportunity to learn more about the School’s research and its joint initiatives with other organizations. https://t.co/ngIDc0ZrXD

Take a look at the Tronolab last preprint

[Wayo Matsushima @wayomayo]

Quite a few regulatory sequences are derived from transposable elements (TEs). But have we discovered them all? Through ancestral genome reconstruction, we identified human regulatory elements that are derived from previously unannotated ancient TEs. https://t.co/ExW7mV6rsq

[EPFL @EPFL_en]

Make sure you don’t miss the #EPFLOpenDays and the 200+ activities we’ve prepared for you! Get ready and jump into our fascinating universe on the weekend of April 29 & 30 🌌
