Great to see the Mastodon and Bluesky but *not* X/Twitter handles on the intro slide of @dessimoz @SIB #bc2basel

We started the meeting with a @bgeedb tutorial this afternoon. Thanks to the great participants 😊 #bc2basel

Rarely do I get to post about mastodons on Mastodon #ScienceMastodon #eseb2025 @ecoevosocial

Glad to hear David Baker mention many applications of protein design not only in medical research but also important applications to plant biology, climate change, or degrading plastics. #ismbeccb2025

Very clear presentation of @dessimoz about the value of democratising data & #FAIR #ismbeccb2025
July 24, 2025 at 1:11 PM
Another challenge: 700 Indigenous groups across Asia-Pacific, whose data needs protection. The data can come from non-human relations, individuals, or collectives, which all need to be respected long term (e.g. also after people pass away).
FAIR & CARE are […]

Striking result of ancestral eukaryotic gene adjacencies enriched for functions (version from the preprint here) #ismbeccb2025
July 21, 2025 at 4:01 PM
I have a slide about these results in my talk tomorrow, on Evolution of function in light of gene expression.
Also, first mention of @bgeedb at #ismbeccb2025 😁

What is the key idea of #AlphaFold? There isn't one. #ismbeccb2025

Reminder (probably not for the last time at #ismbeccb2025) that high quality data resources are critical to #machinelearning #ai in #computationalbiology

Good intro to my talk shared between the function and evolution tracks of #ismbeccb2025 on Tuesday :)
(But gene expression, not structure. And in a break with what will probably be the theme of this conference, I won’t speak about #ai.)

For the record, in Switzerland we use ' to separate thousands and it's very clear (also great #xkcd, made all the family laugh)

Great to see this out in society journal @molbioevol @officialSMBE!
Cone snails are venomous 🐚🍽️🐟 and have evolved from non venomous marine snails. We show how their venom gland evolved from homologous glands, and how this affected the evolution of their […]

First, we confirm that convergent substitutions in fish coding genes have functional impacts, with more negative BLOSUM scores and more changes in physicochemical properties of amino acids.
