🦠🧬Exciting news! BFVD predicted viral protein structures are now available in @InterProDB!
For the first time, explore InterPro functional annotations directly on 3D structures of viral proteins not covered by AlphaFold DB. This bridges a critical gap in structural virology research.
The Koonin Law of Computatoinal Biology:
Whenever you think you have a great idea in computational or evolutionary biology, it will already have been published by Eugene Koonin in the mid 90ies.
Delighted to see this paper from danderson123.bsky.social 's PhD out. We have been building tools for AMR gene detection for over a decade now, but multicopy genes remain challenging. Dan shows that with a gene-space de Bruijn graph and long reads, you can do well

🚨 BREAKING: Nearly 4 months the NIH cut its first grants, a judge has ruled that the directives and process that led to cuts are arbitrary and capricious.
"The explanations are bereft of reasoning — virtually in their entirety... unsupported by [facts]."
Each of them are VOID and ILLEGAL, he says.
The spread of Mpox in Sierra Leone is unlike anything we have ever seen - and we have been keeping an eye on this bug in the region for >15 years.
Given geographical spread, 50/50 men vs women, this is no "sexual network".
This could be the next one.

Really excited to share our resource and analysis of AlphaFold-predicted monomers and homodimers across viruses and phages. Project driven by fab PhD student @rodai.bsky.social and with our great collaborators Joana Pereira @joanampereira.bsky.social and @ninjani.bsky.social
New @isbscience.org research shows how microbial teamwork behind denitrification can collapse in polluted environments, threatening ecosystem balance and resilience. isbscience.org/news/environ...
