The activity in bluesky seems to be picking up recently. There is still a lot more here but it could be closer to a tipping point.

The #AlphaFold 3 model code and weights are now available for academic use. We Google DeepMind are excited to see how the research community continues to use AlphaFold to address open questions in biology and new lines of research. github.com/google-deepmin…

For many traits there is a correlation between the number of duplications or loss-of-function (LoF) mutations someone carries, and their phenotype. Curiously, for most traits, these effects are aligned in the SAME direction. Why?

Join us Roche's Institute of Human Biology (IHB) as a Scientific Group Leader! Lead innovative research in #HumanModelSystems such as #Organoids. We especially seek applications aligned to our commitment to diversity and inclusion.  More go.roche.com/11jc8  #TeamIHB #pRED

Today in Nature Biotechnology we report on the use of base and prime editing for high throughput interrogation of genetic variants in cancer. Excellent work by first authors Olivier Belli & Kyriaki Karava. 🧵👇 tinyurl.com/2js9dwyp ETH Zurich D-BSSE, ETH Zurich

Another function of endogenous peptides, products of protein degradation, is guarding from autoimmune disease. How many functions of peptidomes are still unknown? #peptides #guardpeptides nature.com/articles/s4158…

Many congrats to Lisa (Maier_Lab) for getting selected as one of the Cell 50 Scientists that Inspire! Inspiring for many years to come! Universität Tübingen Cell Press EMBL cell.com/news-do/50-ins…

Very happy to share we were awarded the SNSF Starting Grant 2024 for our PACMAN project on phage-antibiotics combination to mitigate antibiotic resistance...stay tuned for open positions (and cool science) ! 🥳🍾

My team at Deepmind (protein design) is hiring an experimentalist with enzyme expertise. Please RT and/or apply! I'm happy to answer any questions as well. boards.greenhouse.io/deepmind/jobs/…

The CeMM is looking for a Director, as is the CRG (Barcelona) and the EMBL (Heidelberg).

Enough people moved over to Bluesky so I will stop posting here. I will keep the account but probably won't be active. I will be at bsky.app/profile/pedrob…

🚀 New preprint from our lab, Ekaterina Krymova and Fabian Theis : UniversalEPI, an attention-based method to predict enhancer-promoter interactions from DNA sequence and ATAC-seq🌟 🔬 Key Highlights: - Predicts chromatin interactions across unseen cell types with no retraining. -

There are a few AI tools that you can use to turn dense research papers (or even a whole PhD thesis!) into easy-listening podcasts. For Nature Index, I asked scientists to share their exeprience using these tools for sci comm and keeping up with the lit. nature.com/articles/d4158…
