Show PostNew preprint from the lab: The Latent Simplicity of Microbial Ecological Interactions www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... We're excited about this one. We find that high-order microbial interactions often obey simple linear laws, making microbial communities far more predictable than one might expect.

Show PostIn this way the biophysical requirement for bulk electrostatic interaction may widen the allowable sequence space for Ndc80C, facilitating its evolution. We think this is a powerful way to understand how the kinetochore is able to vary so substantially while conserving function 10/12
Show PostMoving forward, I want to see how sequence variation in Ndc80C may impact higher order properties like oligomerization (cf PMID: 41880487), which could diversify kinetochore mechanics across eukaryotes. Here, Naegleria’s especially divergent Ndc80C and microtubules may be illuminating 11/12
