.@GoogleDeepMind are you planning to release #AlphaGenome predictions for each 1Mb bin of the human genome at some point? It would be great to have them in @ensembl or @ucsc genome brower. (Similarly to AlphaFold predictions for all proteins on UniProt) Thanks!

Earlier this year, I learned I have a pathogenic variant in BRCA2, which gives me a very high lifetime risk of breast cancer (55-69%), as well as an increased risk of ovarian cancer (12-29%) and pancreatic cancer (5-10%). 🧵1/ …

We love the excitement & results from the community on AlphaFold 3 and are doubling the AF Server daily job limit to 20. Happy to also share that we're working on releasing the AF3 model (incl weights) for academic use, which doesn’t depend on our research infra, within 6 months.

If memes aren't really your thing (🙄) you can admire our @MolecularCell cover proposal made by the super talented Iris Joval (irisjoval.com) inspired by the Bauhaus movement of the 1920s
Here we witness a vivid representation of those two concepts at play in the nucleus. PRC2 component SUZ12 is present in two alternative splicing isoforms depending on SUZ12 fourth exon (represented by squares) On the one hand, the ancestral isoform mainly acts in a monomeric complex (red semicircle) – that methylates nucleosomes on vast portions of the genome. On the other hand, the novel isoform is able to focus PRC2 activity on gene promoters, by favoring PRC2 dimerization. Exon 4 is constitutively included in non-placentals vertebrates ( kangaroo) only becomes alternative in placental mammals (deer) where the two isoforms are coexpressed and contribute to modify chromatin.
