DIAMOND DeepClust provides an ultra-fast clustering method for organizing the protein universe of life at low sequence identity, enabling large-scale dimensionality reduction and improving downstream ...
🌱 We’re excited to launch the BBSRC-funded UK Plant Epigenetics Network (UK-PEN) with our inaugural workshop (free!):
“Plant Epigenetics: From Model to Crop Species”
📅 11–12 June 2026
📍 Uni of Dundee (hybrid)
We look forward to welcoming you!

Congratulations to @caroleduchene.bsky.social and all the authors on this beautiful work exploring the inheritance of endogenous viral insertions in algae. It was a pleasure to contribute to this study and I am sure this is only the beginning of many exciting discoveries! 🌿 @mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social
I am extremely grateful to receive a Research Leadership Award from the Leverhulme Trust to study the epigenetic mechanisms underlying environmental stress memory in crops @dundee.ac.uk and @hutton.ac.uk 🍓🍅🌱
I’ll be advertising positions in our group soon - stay tuned!

The real question now is not can we compute this,
but what will we build on top of it?
We particularly thank @plantevolution.bsky.social and Max Planck Computing and Data Facility (MPCDF) for their generous sponsorship and extraordinary support of this work.
How much protein diversity can Life on Earth actually generate?
With DIAMOND DeepClust, we show how billions of proteins across the tree of life can be clustered at low-identity for downstream analytics tasks.
