President Trump and Elon Musk’s funding cuts to groundbreaking medical research do NOT Make America Great. That’s why I’m on the Senate floor introducing a resolution pledging support for NIH & asking for immediate passage. Watch. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

My entire team wrote an opinion paper about Common misconceptions of speciation research. Each section is written by 1-2 team members. The bulk of the writing happened during two writing retreats. It was a lot of fun and I am very happy with the result. academic.oup.com/evolinnean/art…

A 13th century prayer book sold for $2,000,000 at auction. Underneath the prayers, scraped off and written over, was the only copy of the one letter that Archimedes wrote to his friend to reveal his private method of finding properties of curved shapes. youtu.be/ZXNIgHov0Nk

Why operons? Gene copy number fluctuates depending on distance from ori due to DNA replication, perturbing gene expression. Operons keep a group of genes balanced in terms of copy number, reducing unbalance in expression level. A reason for the evolution of metabolic operons 👇

It was time! After two revisions at @MolBioEvol , and the incomprehensible decision to reject it based on mysterious simulations performed by the reviewer, we are proud to announce that @mSystemsJ liked it! A novel hypothesis on the origin of operons: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

#ElAlamein #23ottobre 1942, un luogo e una data che raccontano di valore e sacrificio, un capitolo tanto eroico quanto tragico della nostra storia. Rendiamo onore ai coraggiosi militari italiani che combatterono tra le sabbie del Nord Africa. Con loro ricordiamo con deferenza tutti i #Caduti che hanno sacrificato la loro vita per la nostra libertà.

Exciting and fantastic work - the new peak of recent studies reminding us that viruses are not the only mobile elements with their own evolutionary agenda! 🧬💪🏼👇🏼

Meet The Shielded Plasmid🛡️🧬 Our new @Nature paper reveals how plasmids outsmart bacterial defenses during conjugation. It's all about being in the right place at the right time! The positioning of anti-defense genes boosts transfer efficiency🧵(1/7) nature.com/articles/s4158…

We discovered a universal scaling law linking copy number and plasmid size, which can be used to predict the PCN of your favorite plasmid! 6/7

@mobilepurin Right! So the two causality "directions" can both be true and reinforce each other, as you point out in the discussion 😊 I wish I had extra time to do some math modeling of such evo dynamics. Hopefully someone else will have fun with that 😊

@EliaMascolo Exactly! TEs leading to this effect may less likely be purged, leading to their increased population frequencies and thus even stronger recombination suppression (in terms of 4Nr)

This seems to me a nice (new?) example of intragenomic conflict, where transposable elements that tune down the recombination rate are better at avoiding being purged. 👇
Grace Yuh Chwen Lee@mobilepurin

Widely observed negative correlation between recombination rate and TE abundance is usually interpreted as recombination rate being the "cause," influencing the efficacy of selection purging TEs. Yet, our recent study "flipped" this causality! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…… (1/5)

In my office hours today, a student suggested I look at the new "Math Notes" feature in the iPad's included Calculator app for iOS 18. See: support.apple.com/en-am/guide/ip…. The next three posts show screen-recording videos of me trying it out.
