Post doc @UVA ...love exploring cells with cilia...now working on 🐸

[Alan Brown @alanbrownhms]

One, perhaps two, of our postdocs are moving on to faculty positions this year (more news soon!). While they're truly irreplaceable, it does mean that we have openings for new members to join our team studying #cilia. If interested, please apply: https://t.co/GthjhBXOjf

Very cool study from the @ksedzinski lab! 🤯 Really elegant imaging of basal bodies and the role of actin in stabilizing them. Can’t wait to sit down and properly absorb this.

[kuba sędziński @ksedzinski]

💥 🚀 New preprint! 🎉🥳
How do hundreds of organelles organize themselves into near-perfect patterns inside a cell, without a blueprint? We dive deep into how basal bodies (BBs) self-organize in MCCs - and how actin actively tunes their dynamics into order 🍪

@ksedzinski Amazing work!! Congratulations to everyone involved in the study!

[Venkatramanan @ventigers]

@ksedzinski 😱 what are you saying BB can dock and undock from the membrane? That’s cool!!

[Venkatramanan @ventigers]

@alunellab Congratulations!

Introducing Genie 3, a generative protein model that substantially advances the state-of-the-art for binder design, increasing in silico success rates by up to 20x on hard multimeric targets. It also debuts a form of inference-time scaling unobserved in other design models. 🧵1/8

@ganitlabs @ScienceMagazine Oh, they are! Trying diligently not to hire people above the age of 35!

Genome India Project is out. 59 of 83 populations show higher inbreeding than Ashkenazi Jew- signals that we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg; scaling this to over 4,900 communities has the power to fundamentally redefine global clinical genetics.
