🚨New paper: We found - contrary to expectations - that oxygen is partially excluded from biomolecular condensates.
We find a strong anti-correlation between oxygen and protein concentrations in the condensate showing that accessible volume dominates over polarity.

Our work on #hornwort #pyrenoids is finally out in @science.org! 🎉 We uncovered how hornworts pack their Rubisco into pyrenoids and successfully recreated them in Arabidopsis. A key step toward engineering more efficient photosynthesis in crops @btiscience.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The first version of FigTree was released nearly 20 years ago and it is still widely used (including by me). But there are currently 85 issues on the GitHub repo (github.com/rambaut/figt...) and some of them I don’t really like the look of.

This is my #rstats method for standardising bar widths across different #ggplot2 plots. Seems to work for when the base of the plot is discrete, and that scale expand is not altered. If you have a go with it, let me know if it works github.com/davidhodge93...
OrthoFisher (v1.1.2) has had a major quality and usability refresh since the initial release.
Net effect: smaller default outputs, clearer reporting, more robust execution, and better long-term maintainability. (1/5)
