This new R package is wild. It's called ggalign. It combines dendrograms, grouping, insane heatmaps into ggplot. Want to learn how? I have a free R-Tip coming Sunday. Join here: learn.business-science.io/r-tips-newslet…

Please RT. 1x postdoc and 1xPhD position available in our group to study the role of NLR-like proteins in cellular development and antibiotic production in Streptomyces. Postdoc: shorturl.at/f8NTN PhD position: shorturl.at/qCFmN Email me for more information.

We compared genomes at every level, from the nucleotide to the chromosome, and from the single gene or TE to the whole proteome. The findings were almost too many for a single publication... almost. 😇 doi.org/10.1371/journa…

This is great! NIAID News have launched a collection of public domain illustrations (currently 550 individual icons) bioart.niaid.nih.gov

Thank you all for your responses. To summarize, these are free/open source alternatives for preparation of scientific illustrations: bioicons.com, scidraw.io, bioart.niaid.nih.gov, inkscape.org

Goodbye old friend🥹. You’ve been through many ups and downs. Nevertheless, you unwaveringly energized lots of us at TSL over all these years. We’ll miss you.

Deeply humbled and honoured to have received my OBE this week at the Investiture Ceremony at Windsor Castle. Thank you to all our incredible lab members (past & present), as well as our fantastic collaborators, supporters and colleagues who make our science possible!

We're looking for a predoc in molecular evolution. Basic computational skills desired. Minimum 1 year. Send me DM. Wanna know what a predoc is? Check👇

Check out this amazing thread by Katie Long on our latest work using spatial transcriptomics in wheat alongside fabulous colleagues Earlham Institute Ashleigh Lister Iain Macaulay.

Please spread the word. We're looking at recruiting a structural biologist (any level) Sophien Kamoun to study plant-pathogen protein complexes especially in the context of coevolution. Direct inquiries welcome. Please include a cover letter. medium.com/@kamounlab/202…
