The latest RNA-Puzzles paper is out (CASP for RNA structure prediction). Check how wild some of the best predictions are for these small RNAs. We're still a long way from a reliable AlphaFold for RNA.

Really enjoyed today’s external seminar on time-resolved crystallography!
Briony Yorke @universityofleeds.bsky.social gave a talk at SoMB @uofglasgow.bsky.social about time resolved X-ray crystallography used to assess UV damage of crystallins (eye lens proteins-yours are as old as you are) #sketchnote #structuralbiology 🧪 bio-mat-sketches-mor.blogspot.com/2024/11/brio...

An absolutely incredible opportunity to work with a fantastic new PI. From personal experience of having worked with Ferdos 10/10 highly recommend!
If you’re interested in how molecular motors coordinate to power intracellular trafficking events (e.g. endocytosis), I’ve got a PhD position available to study this at vibrant Bristol uni. In this project, we will capture highly dynamic events by #cryoEM, single molecule imaging & cell biology. 🔬❄️🧪

You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋
