I've slowly been reformatting notes from my population and conservation genetics course at Montana State University into a web book—a rough draft is now live here: elinck.org/popgen_conge...
We also find that ancient viruses, now embedded in amphibian genomes as endogenous viruses, are surprisingly active after millions of years 🦴⏱️
Lastly, we note that some endogenous retroviruses exist as thousands of copies within a genome 🧬 - a significant mutational burden left unchecked.
It is almost five years since I first applied AlphaFold to a handful of viral proteins.
Today, hundreds of thousands of predictions and many discoveries later, we are delighted to announce the integration of our Viro3D dataset into the @ebi.embl.org and Google DeepMind AlphaFold Database.

Proposing targetted culls of sharks is a nonsense & demonstrates Dr Adam Smith is ignorant about shark life history, ecology & behaviour, & changing the statistical probability of exceedingly rare events. Sharks behave nothing like kangaroos, koalas & starfish. au.news.yahoo.com/calls-grow-f...
