Yo tengo mi lista de esas canciones, siempre en reserva jaja.

Mi wife (an american) just taught me (a mexican) how to transform stale tortilla chips to fresh again using a mini oven. Nothing goes to waste in this house for sure.

Genomic constraints shape the evolution of alternative routes to drug resistance in prokaryotes Background Variation within the prokaryotic pangenome is not random, and natural selection that favours particular combinations of genes appears to dominate over random drift. What is less clear is wh...

New preprint reveals bacteria can't just collect all resistance genes like Pokemon cards.
We found mutually exclusive evolutionary pathways to multidrug resistance in E. coli & P. aeruginosa - some resistance mechanisms actively prevent others from coexisting www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The nature of mutation: a legacy of bacterial genetics Abstract. A central question in the fields of genetics and evolution was the nature and origin of spontaneous mutation. Bacterial genetic experiments throu

I cannot fully put into words what publishing this Review has meant to me, so I leave you with how we closed the paper.

"The humble bacterium is still a relevant tool for the study of the underlying mechanisms that are conserved throughout life."

Protein language models reveal evolutionary constraints on synonymous codon choice Evolution has shaped the genetic code, with subtle pressures leading to preferences for some synonymous codons over others. Codons are translated at different speeds by the ribosome, imposing constrai...

This preprint from Helen Sakharova is one of the coolest things to come out of my lab: “Protein language models reveal evolutionary constraints on synonymous codon choice.” Codon choice is a big puzzle in how information is encoded in genomes, and we have a new angle. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Effective population size does not explain long-term variation in genome size and transposable element content in animals A large-scale survey across animals reveals no general association between genome size expansion and the relaxation of natural selection.

Functional regimes define soil microbiome response to environmental change - Nature Experimental perturbation of soil pH leads to a generalizable model of the soil microcosm comprising three functional regimes with distinct mechanisms linking environmental change to metabolite dynami...

Published in Nature today! Here, we sought to systematically ask how natural community's metabolism changes with the environment. A simple consumer-resource model can predict N-cycle metabolism (nitrate use) and, more importantly, the mechanism behind its change.

Words cannot describe how excited I am to share the findings from the second half of my postdoc in @aaronwhiteley.bsky.social's lab where we discover that bacteria use functional amyloids to defend themselves from predatory bacteria. rdcu.be/euu5Y. See thread for details on this epic adventure 1/.

Congratulations, Alison! This is awesome.

Schematic of TN-seq in C. neoformans. Top left: Transposon insertions (orange arrow) into nonessential genes results in viable cells. In contrast, insertions into essential genes will result in dead and nonrecoverable cells. Top right: TN-seq works by generating a library of cells where each cell has a single independent transposon insertion in a random location. As in A, those insertions into essential regions cause the cells to die and are nonrecoverable. As a result, the total library (bottom) is depleted in insertions in essential regions. Bottom: The Ac/Ds transposon was split into an Ac transposase and a Ds transposon containing a neomycin resistance marker. This Ds transposon was integrated into an intron of URA5 and the Ac transposase was integrated into the safe haven locus. The resulting stain is ura− and neomycin resistant. Upon initiating transposition via growth on galactose, the strain becomes URA+ and mutant at another locus (depicted here as YFG1).

10/n To relax this assumption, we take advantage of the progress in geometric deep learning. More specifically, we use a neural network called a "Riemannian Hamiltonian Variational Autoencoder" (RHVAE) that not only reduces dimensionality but preserves the geometric relationships between data points

1/n 🧵 Excited to share our new paper! We developed a framework to reveal hidden simplicity in how organisms adapt to different environments, particularly focusing on antibiotic resistance evolution. #EvolutionaryBiology #MachineLearning

I would definitely appreciate doing only one injection.
