I'm so excited to share a new preprint on exploring sequence, structure, and function relationships and how we can use evolutionary information to help us design new proteins that work in the native context of a cell

Deep homology and design of proteasome chaperone proteins in Candida auris
A central tenet of biology is that protein structure mediates the sequence-function relationship. Recently, there has been excitement about the promise of advances in protein structure modeling to gen...

📢 Why should we care about (plant) genomes? Find out at the inaugural African Plant Genomics Symposium in sunny Nairobi, Kenya!

Submitted a paper last year, reviewers comments were "why didn't you cite this paper from Feb 2025?"
Look, if I had a time machine, I wouldn't use it to go to the future to read papers.

Tired of rewriting the same "lost" scripts over and over, so I'm finally setting them free on GitHub. First up: a little tool that converts peptide IDs in FASTA files to gene IDs — perfect if you're wrangling protein-to-genome alignments with Exonerate or Miniprot

Not sure why Silicon Valley is so fixated on marketing AI to scientists as a tool for hypothesis generation? We have no problems generating hypotheses. We can crank out half-baked ideas just fine. You can help by pipetting, debugging unmaintained code, and troubleshooting weird unreported edge cases
