Demis -- I think AlphaFold3 is really exciting. As Reviewer #3, I got great results from the server. I tried hard to get @Nature to urge you to release the code but was unsuccessful. I did not get it for re-review so I don't know if you responded. So why no code? @GoogleDeepMind
Thrilled to announce AlphaFold 3 which can predict the structures and interactions of nearly all of life’s molecules with state-of-the-art accuracy including proteins, DNA and RNA. Biology is a complex dynamical system so modeling interactions is crucial blog.google/technology/ai/go…

Do you (want to) use whole-plasmid sequencing (e.g. @plasmidsaurus) but are put off by $15/sample? Use SAVEMONEY—@MasaakiU5’s algorithm that lets you mix 6 or more plasmids/sample & computationally de-mixes reads! colab.research.google.com/gi… biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… How it works: 1/n

I would like to share with you our new work on the identification of the first bona fide 'reader' of #histone H3K79 methylation, which has been a mystery since the discovery of this modification in 2002. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… today online in @ScienceMagazine

H3K9me3 is not sufficient for silencing endogenous retroviruses if DNA methylation is perturbed. In Dnmt1 ko endoderm cells, IAP elements fully maintain H3K9me3, while trancriptionally active. great collaboration with @LickertHeiko out in @NatureComms rdcu.be/cVRqS
