The Escherichia coli replication initiator DnaA is titrated on the chromosome - Nature Communications
A DNA-binding protein, DnaA, regulates the initiation of chromosomal replication in bacteria. Here, Olivi et al. show that the bacterial chromosome sequesters DnaA in a growth rate-dependent manner, s...

Definitely an experience to say the least, but stoked to see it in its final form!
Can't wait to share more

Heroic effort by @loreoliv.bsky.social to wrap that one up! Reviewers' comments: similar number of words as in the manuscript... More soon.

This is the science that really matters
1/n Some time ago my colleague, excellent cook, and friend Ivan told me: "Cacio e pepe is the recipe that I screw up more often. Let's make a project studying systematically the physics of that sauce".
Prepare to get cheesy, I'm glad to share the Cacio e paper preprint:
arxiv.org/abs/2501.00536

The tech bro fascination with eugenics is so on brand. The idea that you could make accurate, actionable predictions from individual genotypes (with all their complex, non-linear interactions) from averaged, linearly modeled population-level genomic statistics is just another big data fantasy

Starting to think I should use our dog Ombra as a metaphor to explain students how fluorescent proteins allow you to tell apart things of interest from the background
