Don’t really use this anymore but thought this interesting . This paper in 2020 estimated bees contribute 235 - 577 billion dollars to global food production mdpi.com/2073-4395/10/9…. Which today would be max 724 billion dollars. Musk is thought to be worth 676 to 850 billion.

Work we are doing in @Leicester_Phage Also to avoid confusion. That is not a picture of me 😁

Super excited to share our new study from the @JD_Buenrostro Lab in @Nature! We developed a computational method for tracking transcription factor and nucleosome binding using single-cell ATAC-seq and deep learning. Paper: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to share my PhD findings! We discovered that air #pollution alters the biofilm formation of #bee gut commensal Snodgrassella and disrupts the bumblebee gut #microbiome - highlighting new environmental impacts on pollinators and microbial ecology. nature.com/articles/s4152…

After 4y in the making, I am super excited that my main PhD project is published 🎉🥳🎉🎉🥳 nature.com/articles/s4158… LEMUR is a tool to analyze multi-condition single-cell data and model differential expression as a continuous function of the cell-state space. Some highlights⬇️

Two stages of evolution... @GrantKinsler @gsherloc @PetrovADmitri use #ExperimentalEvolution in yeast to show that while 1st-step mutants appear pleiotropic in nature, 2nd-step mutations show a shift towards modular adaptation #PLOSBiology plos.io/4glXoXJ

@KlaraH_lab @ERC_Research Congrats 🥳

Thank you @ERC_Research, feeling truly challenged by this project and can't wait to see it unfold 🪁 The list of people to thank for the support is way too long, but I'm super grateful for everyone there ❤️

If you have ever wondered whether the PAML documentation could be more interactive... We have good news for you! The PAML GitHub repository has been updated and a fresh PAML Wiki is now available for you to navigate the PAML documentation! 📄💻 (1/n) github.com/abacus-gene/pa…

What gets erased when you integrate single cell data, and can you recover it? Finally, we know what happens and how to recover the lost signals. So excited to share CellANOVA, published online today in NBT! go.nature.com/4hZnzW5

Recent studies have revealed unexpected Y chromosome diversity and suggest that the Y may play an outsized role in evolution. @_Axeman_and I wrote this perspective for @EvolLetterswith a few suggestions and requests. academic.oup.com/evlett/advance… Images by @jacejostles

Stronger promoters not only transcribe more RNA but also show higher effective translation rates.
