🌟 Check out this fascinating study exploring how genomes combat real-time virus invasions—a UNIQUE approach to studying evolution as it happens!

Huge congratulations to @tianxiong-bear-yu.bsky.social and the entire team for yet another set of remarkable findings! 🎉🎉
I am thrilled to share our story online at @cellpress.bsky.social . Big thanks to all authors: Zhiping, Bill, @lubanlab.bsky.social, Keith & bluesky-less!
