The current administration’s narrative that Harvard (and all universities) feel “entitled” to federal dollars misleads the public. Nor are these funds a “privilege” 1/n

AFESM: a metagenomic guide through the protein structure universe! We clustered 821M structures (AFDB&ESMatlas) into 5.12M groups; revealing biome-specific groups, only 1 new fold even after AlphaFold2 re-prediction & many novel domain combos. 🧵 🌐 afesm.foldseek.com 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

Bioimaging and bioimage analysis friends, some help if you have 2-3 mins; for a paper, we're trying to estimate the number of biologists trained in open source software or tools in the last ~5 years. (1/2) #bioimaging #microscopy #bioimageanalysis

If, hypothetically, a person were trying to set up a career panel series for bioimage analysis, what kinds of roles (or specific people) would you want to hear more about? Hypothetical nominations of all stripes welcome :) #bioimageanalysis

1. Major news in transgender care. Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines. They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the Cass Review in England. Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

ChimeraX can run Foldseek to find similar structures, such as distantly related homologs, and analyze the results, for example, mapping all ligands onto your query structure. Here are ligands mapped onto Nipah virus G protein. www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/dat...

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

Ce qui se passe actuellement aux États-Unis est une preuve de plus que tous les projets de case X ou "troisième catégorie" à l'état civil les personnes non-binaires sont une impasse en terme de droits pour toutes les personnes trans, dont les personnes non-binaires elles-même.

Just wanted to give a shoutout to @marimo.io (cc @akshaykagrawal.bsky.social ). If u have been using Jupyter Notebooks, u should REALLY try Marimo. It is such an upgrade. We have been actively developing on it in the lab (integration with NLP LLMs) as well & are huge fans. Strongly recommend.

Protein backbone diffusion models consistently undersample catalytically important motifs, and oversample idealized helices, raising questions about the appropriateness of these methods in designing starting points for enzyme design & evolution. From www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Protein language models excel at generating functional yet remarkably diverse artificial sequences. They however fail to naturally sample rare datapoints, like very high activities. In our new preprint, we show that RL can solve this without the need for additional data: arxiv.org/abs/2412.12979
