.@thebasepoint & I just put a long-marinated @biorxivpreprint up (biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…). A spin-off of our California mosquito study (elifesciences.org/articles/6…), it's a love letter to Orthomyxoviridae & metagenomic virus discovery studies. Lots to unpack, so let's thread. 1/11

Science is a marathon & there's no country that prospered by politicising science or rejecting their own scientists. Political capital built on an anti-science platform is difficult to spend in a future where everyone is worse off. Find me on mastodon (@evogytis@mstdn.science).

Are you interested in delivering reliable evidence from observational health care data? Do you find computational statistics and data science fascinating? I'd like to hire you as a Postdoctoral Fellow, so please email me directly! (Phylodynamic opportunities also available)

TV Dozhd had a planned hearing with the Latvian authorities, but their representatives appeared without an interpreter just expecting everyone there to speak Russian with them.
Russian liberals are not imperialists at all.
@Ivars_Abolins pauž neapmierinātību par "TV Rain" attieksmi - kanāla pārstāvji uz administratīvā pārkāpuma izskatīšanas sēdi @NEPLPadome ieradušies bez tulka un vēlējušies runāt krieviski, un sēde tāpēc nav notikusi. #SpriedArDelfi

Our new Fluscape work is out @eLife. We reported long term intrinsic cycles in individual antibody responses against 21 A(H3N2) strains that were isolated between 1968 and 2014. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.81457

NEW PAPERS!: Today our TWO review articles on the biodiversity of Madagascar were published in @ScienceMagazine. This project included 84 co-authors and 50 institutions, born from an @antonelli_lab group meeting in 2020. @KewScience, @TeamKMCC & @GGBC_GU led the papers.

"Chroma, give me the smallest possible protein with rRNA N-glycosylase activity that does not have billions of years' worth of evolutionary baggage that required every intermediate protein to carry out a beneficial function."
Maybe worth starting to think about implications now?

Today we introduced Chroma, a generative model that creates new proteins & protein complexes given geometric & functional constraints. It learns to transform unstructured, random 3D shapes into #protein molecules, which can have tens of thousands of atoms. ow.ly/Txn750LShFp

Bombali ebolavirus is distributed as far as Mozambique it turns out. It hasn't caused human disease (yet) but given that concurrent Ebola virus outbreaks have become common we should probably invest more in understanding the ecology of filoviruses. wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/28…

Substantial expansion of the Flaviviridae through transcriptome mining - lots of new viruses in amphibians, reptiles, and ray-finned fish.
Transcriptome mining extends the host range of the Flaviviridae to non-bilaterians

In a remarkable show of cooperation @KLM & @airBaltic (the latter's employees stole my partner's DSLR camera from her suitcase some years back) organised an impressive quest for me at @ParisAeroport. The flight @KLM rebooked me on was already 32 hours late by the way. 1/

With another 2 hour delay, I was spending a 9 hour layover with @KLM & @airBaltic representatives shifting blame & making me run around CDG for meal vouchers. Finally it turned out all I get is €6 from one cafe. Could've saved the calories by staying put. Shame on you both. 2/

How unequal is the global SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance? 🦠🧬
Our recently published @NatureComms article analysed how countries performed in the first two years of pandemic, both in terms of sequencing intensity and timeliness of surveillance. 🧵👇🏾

OpenFold - Several new insights gained from retraining Alphafold2 on a new implementation including that it does generalize to unseen folds. Plus several technical improvements that help this run on larger sequences.

Many congratulations to Steve Jones for getting an @ERC_Research Starting Grant! It's the first StG for @VU_LT Life Sciences Center and hopefully one of many to come.

Excited to share that I've secured an ERC Starting Grant to fund my team's research for the next five years 😄 Thanks to everyone that helped make this possible! lnkd.in/eSuDFp7g
