Some news: After 8 years & 750 stories, I've decided to leave The Atlantic. Today's my last day. Being a writer means you can’t say things like "I can’t tell you what this means" cos, well, I can. That's kind of the point of me. So here’s an attempt at looking back & forward: 1/

I have a lot of respect to all authors here, but this re-analysis has overstated conclusions. While it raises important concerns for the original authors to respond to, it does not, in my opinion, invalidate the conclusions of the original paper. 1/7

Really excited to finally see this out! Lots to unpack here. Briefly, our differentiable search & alignment algorithm is competitive with structural prediction methods, and enables scalable remote homology search against large protein databases. Tymor Hamamsy Richard Bonneau

Congratulations to Professor Rob Knight on being named a 2023 Citation Laureate! We are incredibly proud to have such an inspiring leader for our lab. #CitationLaureates #MicrobiomeResearch

Our paper exploring gene expression adaptive responses in the Emperor penguin (EP)🧊🇦🇶🐧is out on bioRxiv! EPs breed in the harsh, dark Antarctic winters at temps <-45C! We identify genes involved in temperature homeostasis, fasting, and energy metabolism doi.org/10.1101/2023.1…

Tyler Griffin (UConn) and I are hosting a Microbiome session at the National Shellfisheries Assn. meeting in Charlotte, NC Mar. 17-21 2024. It's a wonderful meeting with great people- Join us! Abstracts are due Dec 15th, happy to answer any questions! shellfish.org/annual-meeting

The contributions that Kristian and his team @ScrippsResearch Scripps Research Translational Institute and collaborators have made throughout the pandemic have been immense. His decision to remove himself from this increasingly toxic platform is fully understandable, but unfortunate, to say the least.

An incredible interdisciplinary effort - A network of ~20 specialist microbes assemble to decompose animal flesh, primarily from scavenger insects, regardless of location, climate, or season. Underlies a powerful forensic tool shorturl.at/vQRX4@Zach_Bur… NIJ Director Nancy La Vigne

Call to the microbiome community. We are building a collaborative microbial metabolite center (CMMC) knowledgbase resource to allow direct connection of microbiome derived molecules, their producers and activities. If you have published papers and want to add your 1/

Our preprint exploring the role of Ne and gene expression on purifying selection in penguins has been recommended by PCI Evolutionary Biology! Approaches can be extended to many non-model organisms, including using expression bins as a proxy for selection coefficients evolbiol.peercommunityin.org/articles/rec?i…
