Our new preprint showing how protein language models (PLMs) can help us understand viral proteins is now available! We used ESM-2 to investigate what PLMs know about the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein from a single sequence to evolutionary trajectories. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Massive congratulations to Daniel Weir on his first first-author preprint 🥳 Warning: contains astonishing micrographs and an amazing story pinning down the features and mechanism behind a fundamental, important and understudied area of IAV biology: direct cell-to-cell spread

Why can't these viruses be friends? In a new study from her PhD MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research , Anna Sims shows that #SARSCoV2 infections segregate into distinct microdomains as they spread. But why? (1/N) journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv…

Sooo happy to finally have this one published!! (3 years in the making… 👀) A comprehensive investigation into the recency and geographical origins of both SARS-CoVs that spilled to humans in the past few decades, now in Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

🚨🔎 Out now in PLOS Pathogens! 🔎🚨 This project has taken us MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research UofG MVLS on a wild and wonderful journey. I am excited to share our story of how influenza A viruses (IAVs) exploit cell death to facilitate its covert spread. N/1 journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…
