just your daily reminder that GO annotations are plagued with crap. I was going through some of the proteins annotated as 'Nuclear membrane' and you get GAPDH, ENO1, MX1... Don't trust these annotations. Curate them yourself, as painful as it is, it is worth it for data quality

In humans, there are 5 acrocentric chromosomes, but only chromosomes 13, 14 and 21 occasionally pair and form metacentric chromosomes termed Robertsonian. To find out why, read this amazing preprint from Gernot lab: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A rebuttal of the paper that looked at historical samples and found evidence of natural selection due to the Black Death at immune loci. Multiple lines of evidence, incl that observed freq changes were an artefact. By Alison Barton, @mathiesoniain.bsky.social et al www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hehe, found an outdated section in the relatively recent textbook on molecular biology: if you google "industrial revolution and moths" you'll find a treasure trove of articles about 'most recent natural selection event', but as brilliant study from Tian and co showed (1/2)

Remember that Europe (@ebi.embl.org) has mirrored all these services and they will keep on running. They look and feel a bit different but do the same thing. I think @ewanbirney.bsky.social should be able to confirm. www.europepmc.org www.ebi.ac.uk/jdispatcher/...

Check out our new preprint describing CiFi - a method that couples 3C and PacBio HiFi sequencing with low input requirements. We apply it to human GM12878 to better characterize chromatin across repetitive regions, as well as single insect samples (a mosquito and a Mediterranean fruit fly).

It took me about 1 minute to choose this preprint for the journal club. We've known for a long time about HP1 and SetDB1 major roles in heterochromatin formation and spreading but their interaction via a histone mimic motif in SetDB1 is a genuinely exciting finding

How does the ORF1p perform its multiple functions to facilitate LINE1 retrotransposition? And what enables its ability to also facilitate replication of other retrotransposons? Find out in our newly published paper in Nucleic Acids Research doi.org/10.1093/nar/...
