I always say jobs in my lab are great opportunities but this one really is. The last incumbent published 3 1st-author @Nature papers, found a treatment for Covid, and now has a senior job in pharma. Quantitative geneticists - please consider joining us! jobs.ac.uk/job/DIL188/pos….

A lovely piece of work that places interferon-mediated antiviral immunity to betacoronaviruses into evolutionary & ecological context.

Really interesting thread and paper about an anti-coronavirus gene in humans that bats lost millions of years ago, which could help explain why bats are such prodigious reservoirs of coronaviruses, posing a constant threat of spillover into humans.

This study builds on our previous work demonstrating human prenylated OAS1 (p46) inhibits SARS-CoV-2 whereas the nonprenylated (p42) form does not. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… The nonprenylated human OAS1 p42 is not functionally analogous to nonprenylated horseshoe bat OAS1.

One thing the pandemic forever changed for me was my perspective on sharing biomaterials (tools and reagents) from publications. I’ve written about this, with co-author Alexander Harms (@AHarms485), in our new PLOS Biology perspective:
PLOS Biology@PLOSBiology

Could better biomaterial sharing improve the scientific community? @Lab_Rihn_th & @AHarms485 draw on their experiences of sharing #biomaterials to discuss the advantages, challenges, and ways sharing could be more actively promoted and rewarded. plos.io/3F9HajT
