Targeted MYC2 stabilization confers citrus Huanglongbing resistance | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

TIL that intelligence likely evolved twice; once in birds and then again in mammals. Key evidence seems to be that distinct cell types and brain regions are used to perform similar computations in both birds and mammals. From Quanta magazine.

There are so many weird Biology quirks that I somehow missed before and am only just finding now... Apparently translation can and *does* initiate from EVERY codon With the caveat that any codon other than the canonical AUG / GUG / UUG options induce transcription at such

Guys Literally Only Want One Thing

Check out new work from NVIDIA Healthcare Genomics, Genentech, transcriptome-guided genomic alignment with transformer-based splice junction scoring, delivering SOTA in splice junction detection, indel identification, and resolving complex splicing patterns biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Horizontal gene transfer happens surprisingly often in nature. Here are a few neat examples 🧵: 1. Human -> Gonorrhoea A 685bp fragment of a retrotransposon somehow got transferred into Neisseria gonorrhoeae from a human person at some point in the past. we literally HGT'd a

A hell of a biotech startup story. Immunologist contacts a crazy guy who's been injecting himself with different species of snake venom for 18 years. Forms an anti-venom company. Identifies 2 broad coverage antibodies to be used in cocktail edition.cnn.com/2025/05/02/sci…

A true “lab” story in full bloom: Jonathan D. G. Jones, Wolf Prize Laureate in Agriculture 2025, and Caroline Dean, Wolf Prize Laureate in Agriculture 2020, are more than just partners in life — they’re also partners in discovery. Jonathan’s pioneering work revealed how plants

Incredibly excited to announce that Ezra® has been acquired by Function Health. Together, we're introducing the world's first $500 Full Body MRI. A bit more about the announcement below.

> be plant > leaves attacked by insect > warn neighbors by releasing molecules into air > neighbors get the signal > neighbors trigger molecular cascade and "talk to" soil bacteria > soil microbes "increase plant growth and enhance plant defences." Plants are highly underrated.

Happy to collaborate and expand my genomics expertise now to insects 🦗

Love this Darwin quote on display at the Linnaean Society in London: "Trust nothing to the memory, for the memory becomes a fickle guardian when one interesting object is succeeded by another still more interesting" darwin-online.org.uk/content/frames…

Highly deserving 👏👏 Michelle Heck

🌿 Feeling incredibly grateful today! Just five years ago, I was a postdoc navigating a new research environment in Canada. Today, I am honoured to receive the Outstanding Young Scientist Award from the CPS Canadian Phytopathological Society — and even prouder to receive

Pre-print for our #GroveFirst framework to find solutions for #citrus greening #HLB is live! In this work, we leveraged the grower's willingness to treat individual trees using direct injection to screen for new therapies that provide a boost to tree health & yield. Amazingly,

We proudly present: Tomatoes have MIK2, too: However, it does not sense SCOOP peptides but a Fusarium elicitor. Thanks to all collaborators for the support. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What's a proper p-value threshold in #GWAS? In #GENETICS, Cheruiyot et al used simulations with large sample size to show that the traditionally used GWAS significance P-value is insufficient for multiple testing corrections, requiring a stringent P-value: buff.ly/OuH2UVp

Crazy to think I was there last year exploring the Mars-like landscape.
