Led heroically by Sylvia Chang & @jonowells.bsky.social A study which has changed the way I think of #transposons! No less! 🧵 1/n

- Reposted by Ed ChuongI created a brief spreadsheet of reductions I've heard of so far. Any additions you know of (especially if you have the links/receipts) would be great: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

- Reposted by Ed ChuongCheck out this thread on the latest work from our lab, led by @emilykibby.bsky.social ! Here we used the power of computationally predicting protein-protein interactions to understand how a bacterial antiphage system senses infection.
- I’m so excited to share that some of my grad work in the @aaronwhiteley lab is now available on bioRxiv! We used an AlphaFold-multimer screen to uncover how a bacterial NLR-related proteins senses multiple phage-encoded proteins to confer phage protection. Link: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Reposted by Ed ChuongFirst #bluetorial. 🎉🎉 We’re very happy to share our latest biorxiv #preprint, just in time before the holiday season. We explored how transposable elements (TEs) diversify eukaryotic proteomes and found a cool case in nematode F-box genes. #TEsky #evosky #Celegans Short 🧵 with highlights.

- I’m excited to share our latest study led by @giuliapasquesi.bsky.social out today in @cellpress.bsky.social , uncovering a new way transposons have been repurposed for human interferon signaling! Read on for a thread on cryptic splice variants, decoy receptors, and viruses (1/N) 👇🧵 #TESky 🧪
- Interferon (IFN) signaling is an innate immune pathway important for fighting viruses and diseases like cancer. Variation in IFN activity is strongly linked to differences in disease severity including severe COVID-19. What are the factors that influence IFN variation, within or across species?
