Viroid-like colonists of human microbiomes Obelisks are widespread RNA-based agents found in diverse environmental and human-associated microbiomes. These apparently unbranched and circular RNAs represent a previously uncharacterized class of genetic elements.

Discovery and Characterization of Unusual O‐Linked Glycosylation of IgG4 Antibody Using LC‐MS Background Consensus is that immunoglobulin IgG4 contains only N-linked glycosylation. The analysis of several batches of commercial biopharmaceutical product Dupixent using top-down intact mass spe...

Dynamic nature of viral and bacterial communities in human faeces Bacteriophages are a major component of the gut microbiome and are believed to play a role in establishment and stabilization of microbial communities…

Feel like this paper slipped under the radar on ‘the other platform’ so giving it another airing here. Phage can significantly remodel the bacteriome in faecal samples - yet another confounder 🙄 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

18th Annual International Biocuration Conference Organized by Sofia Robb, Chris Seidel, and Sue Bello Hosted by the Stowers Institute for Medical Research

This is a stunning paper on how GAGs are pro survival factors for dormant tumor cells, I think this also gives us clues that GAGs are key cell survival components in normal biology! www.cell.com/cancer-cell/...

I always include a slide about her in my Bioinformatics class

I took biochem in 2001, and for nearly 20 years read amino acid sequences daily… and I never knew Dayhoff named them or even the logic behind things like Q until last Friday (h/t Mike Janech). Also, this is another big Dayhoff moment for me. She was incredible!

💫New on our blog: Sarah Davies writes about her work exploring #bioontologies, the epistemic importance of #biocuration and the need to find new ways of valuing, funding, and rewarding the wide variety of epistemic contributions.

Article “it takes two” by Itai Yanai.

Find a friend to talk science with. Or assemble a peer group. Exchange ideas and critiques.

I’ve always believed this is critical to doing good science.

New to this platform. Does International Society for Biocuration have a presence here? #biocuration
