Demis -- I think AlphaFold3 is really exciting. As Reviewer #3, I got great results from the server. I tried hard to get nature to urge you to release the code but was unsuccessful. I did not get it for re-review so I don't know if you responded. So why no code? Google DeepMind

What is the origin of our body? Our paper Cell shows that when a human embryo is one day old and comprises just two cells, only one cell will create most of the fetus in addition to placenta, while the other cell will create placenta. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Really proud to publish this fascinating paper on receptors responsible for sexual touch. It's easy to get prudish and Victorian on this sort of work, but sexual and reproductive health is extremely important nature.com/articles/s4158…

Women are born with all their oocytes, which need to stay viable for decades to ensure fertility. How are they maintained for that long? Our latest research in Nature Cell Biology reveals that oocyte maintenance involves exceptional protein longevity. nature.com/articles/s4155… (1/9)

Excited to share our paper, on efficient variance-component estimation in ARGs, following-up on method developement by Ali Pazoki and Sriram Sankararaman and my PhD work. We introduce ARG-RHE to estimate narrow-sense h2 and perform region-based association testing using an ARG.
