*PASTEL: Parallel Automated Spectroscopy Tool for Electrolyte Leakage

Our lab is running the Cancer Research UK Race for Life to raise funds and awareness for #breastcancer . 1 in 2 people will get cancer in their lifetime. Thanks to life-saving research I am here to tell my story. Sponsor us through this link. Imperial Sciences CRUK Events London fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/team/doryens-t…

Excited to share (with my 8 followers) graduate student Ernst Schmid’s “SPOC” classifier, which can pick a good AlphaFold-Multimer prediction out of a crowd, and predictomes.org, a database of PPIs in the genome maintenance space.

Excited to share the updated version of our manuscript on the evolution and function of plant immune receptor domains. A great collaboration with Sophien Kamoun Sebastian Schornack and Joe Walker lab UniversityofIllinois. 🧵 from 1st author KhongSam Chia coming tomorrow. academic.oup.com/plcell/article…

1. We're thrilled to announce our paper on the evolution of plant NLR immune receptors has found a home at The Plant Cell ! doi.org/10.1093/plcell…🎉 This work builds on our original preprint, which you can check out here:

Want to change the system? Post preprints and only post preprints - don't submit to journals, don't subscribe to journals, don't read journals - only hire and fund people based on their preprints.

This has implications for ZAR1: Jurassic NLR or Cretaceous NLR? #NLRbiology apple.news/AS9X8yD9CTqm5Q…

#OMGN -ers register NOW for the virtual meeting on the genus #Phytophthora , the gateway to voting and sharing your opinion, co-author a ‘letter to the editor’ of Phytopathology, and sign a letter to ICTF. It is only $49 ($20 for students).

A recent preprint from our lab about MOSAIC: a very easy protocol to make (short) mutations or libraries in plasmids much easier (no PCR, or assembly cloning needed), just electroporation with oligos! Probably useful for many in the field biorxiv.org/content/10.110… spread the word!

Our preprint about Ais: streamlining segmentation & particle picking in cryoET datasets is now online! 😊 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
The software is free and lightweight, and tutorials are available via: ais-cryoet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
