We designed linear and cyclic peptide binders only from a protein target sequence. Different lengths; 46% had Kd in the micromolar range from a single sequence selection. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Zero-shot prediction of protein stability w/ inverse folding methods can be improved by re-running predictions on each residue in isolation, thereby identifying and removing the effect of local backbone geometry on prediction outcomes

🥳As part of the organizing committee, I am excited to share the launch of the meeting Pandemic preparedness: Achievements, current challenges, and new frontiers, to be held in Trieste in November 2024. In collaboration with @alemarcelab @AreaSciencePark @ICGEB Please RT!

Developing innovative and effective responses to potential future pandemics: a topic to be discussed from 11 to 13 November in Trieste during the international #conference "Pandemic preparedness - Achievements, current challenges, and new frontiers" (#pnrr PRP@CERIC project)

To help scientists explore whether a genetic variant is likely pathogenic, and which regions of proteins are functionally important, we've integrated AlphaMissense data by @GoogleDeepMind into @ensembl, @uniprot & the AlphaFold database. ebi.ac.uk/about/news/tec…

Wow this blows me away you can get roughly correct structure of pure electrolyte solutions out of this.

Thrilled to announce AlphaFold 3 which can predict the structures and interactions of nearly all of life’s molecules with state-of-the-art accuracy including proteins, DNA and RNA. Biology is a complex dynamical system so modeling interactions is crucial blog.google/technology/ai/…

(Editorial - this "let's own the functional consequences of all the mutations of all the bases in human" - in a combination of experimental and computational approaches I think is a super-sound foundational project we need - paging @mehurles and MAVE) #bog24

Knowing how to give a good talk is a crucial skill to have, but it's mostly not formally taught very well. Here's a 🧵on my strategy for how to prepare for the presentation, actually present it, and then answer the questions.

NEW preprint: #PhyKIT is a command-line tool for analyzing multiple sequence alignments and phylogenies. Here, we detail #protocols for using PhyKIT to build #phylogenomic supermatrices, quantifying biases/#errors therein, identifying putative radiations & so much more.

This is a very important and serious study - but - I can’t get the picture of rats running on tiny treadmills out of my head! Where is the emoji for this? I hope they were at least allowed some bangin’ beats 😁

Exercise may be the single most potent medical intervention ever known. Its benefits in prevention outstrip any known drugs: 50% reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease, 50% reduction in the risk of many cancers, positive effects on mental health, pulmonary health, GI…

Highly variable NLRs have distinct genomic features, selective pressures, and mutational likelihood contributing to their super high amino acid diversity. But what's the mechanism??? How are these features established, and how do they change local mutation probability??


Stuart MacGowan Reposted

I have a seemingly simple question: in a GWAS, does including sex as a covariate alone enough to account for potential sex differences? What's the added benefit to doing a sex-stratified GWAS? Is there a paper on this? @sexchrlab @nmancuso_ @CharlestonCWKC might you know?

Happy to share the publication of our paper in @Nature Conformational ensembles of the human intrinsically disordered proteome Work led by @GiulioTesei and @AnnaIdaTrolle I'll post more later, but for now here is a link: nature.com/articles/s4158… and a short movie about the work
