We join Secretary Jennifer Granholm in saying “bravo!” to the winners of the middle and high school National Science Bowl finals.

Clearly this was the Roman Institute of Virology and the scholars were trying to model adenovirus capsids from low resolution EMs.

Couldn't agree more! - If you want to know more about (long-read) plasmid assembly, come hear me talk in the plasticity of bacterial genomes session, 1430 on Tuesday in Hall L #ECCMID2024 #ESCMIDGlobal2024

I find it astounding that there are people out there that still don't believe viruses exist or cause disease. As a structural biologist I though maybe I could shed some light on how we originally observed virus structures and how we can take direct photos of them now. 🧵

If you think these facts are weird, just wait until you get to the hetreogametic sex chromosomes - there are 7 Xs and 7 Ys, meaning that if Platypus meiosis worked like mammals there would be 2**7 sexes - 128. This is not observed...

Our paper on the discovery of novel bacterial T6SS effectors and their immunity proteins is out in Molecular Systems Biology!

We show how AlphaFold-Multimer is a great tool for predicting these protein pairs as they have a very stable protein-protein interaction.
