Wow incredible work in this preprint - I’m glad for all the rotten fruit collections Matt Rockman and other made in the pursuit of finding diverse C.elegans. This genome study looks amazing.

Our preprint on NGS-based SARS-CoV-2 testing is up! medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Work by an amazing team including Joshua Bloom Valerie Arboleda MD, PhD 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sri Kosuri and others at Octant Bio Eleazar Eskin - UCLA Computational Medicine Jonathan Flint and others.

Super happy to share our latest preprint & first publication from the Burga Lab IMBA imbavienna.bsky.social. As usual, a very fruitful collaboration with amazing @eyalbenda Christian Braendle @braendle.bsky.social & Leonid Kruglyak . Why is your mother trying to kill you?? A thread! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I’m very excited to share this preprint! Over the past few years I’ve come to love the R language and couldn’t be more thrilled to contribute to this awesome community #RStats

How do chromosomes evolve in nature? Here we present a peculiar case in the sexual planarians, Schmidtea mediterranea. A collaborative work with many in the Leonid Kruglyak lab, and Marta Riutort, Riutort's Lab 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬🐳🦎🦅🔬, A. Sánchez Alvarado biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A huge congratulations to Student Researchers at UC who worked so hard for this victory. Welcome to the family Student Researchers United-UAW!

Genes—like early explorers who braved the seas—can also embark on extraordinary journeys. It is now clear that horizontal gene transfer takes place even between highly divergent animals species! 🐛🦋🪱🐟. But how exactly does it happen? Find it out in our latest preprint!

In a recent paper, Shen et al. reported that most synonymous mutations in yeast genes were strongly deleterious. In a new preprint, we argue that this result is largely or entirely artifactual and arose from a lack of appropriate controls. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
