🚨These analyses reveal extensive diversification of A(H5N1) viruses via reassortment w low-pathogenic avian influenza viruses. We find evidence of repeated ancestral strain replacement by direct descendants, indicative of compounding viral fitness increases. Rick Bright

Virus reassortment (genetic mixing) is much more concerning than independently-evolving, single point mutations within the #H5N1 #Influenza virus genome. An important reminder of rapid, transparent surveillance and data sharing.

"Interestingly, the strongest T cell responses weren’t to spike. They were directed against nucleocapsid (N) and membrane (M) proteins - antigens not present in vaccines. This suggests a unique imprinting from natural infection!"

When I bought my first telescope, I assumed photos of galaxies and nebulae required billion dollar space telescopes... I was wrong. Here's 4 of my favorite deep sky photos since I started this hobby, captured with equipment anyone can own.

Intriguing new preprint of possible relevance to the bizarre A->G mutational clusters. I'm fascinated by long-range RNA-RNA interactions, and a long range one posited here binds ADAR1. Experimentally disrupting it decreases replication and A->G mutations. 🤔 1/6

Japan has developed a groundbreaking nuclear innovation called the Yoroi Reactor — a microreactor no larger than a shipping container. Designed for isolated communities and disaster zones, this buried reactor provides clean energy for a full decade without refueling. Unlike
