@markowenmartin.bsky.social I think you in particular might get a kick out of this 😄
Last week I had the pleasure of presenting my thesis work on developing bioinformatics tools and databases for viral gene discovery and classification at the Midwest Microbiome Symposium, hosted at my alma mater, UIUC. It was great to see what microbiome scientists across the Midwest are working on!
Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are key to discovering and interpreting new biological functions.
We’re excited to introduce 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒉𝑷𝑷𝑰: a new application of gLM2 that uses genomic language modeling to predict proteome-wide PPIs in microbial genomes in minutes.

Can’t believe what I found at an antique store in Madison, WI. A sketch of the Swope Center and Eel Pond at @mblscience.bsky.social. So interesting that it ended up all the way over here! This one’s going up on the wall.

Check out this microbial ecology themed card game! I’ve been a fan of Ecologies for several years, so I was very excited to hear about their latest expansion. I think it would benefit from including more viruses… but I’m biased and still very impressed!

I’ll be presenting at the next ECR Viromics Webinar on March 11 at 9 AM CT, highlighting a new tool I’ve been developing in the @karthik-a.bsky.social lab for scalable, automated discovery and curation of auxiliary viral genes: CheckAMG.
