🩸🩸🩸TODAY WE SHARE TWO MAJOR DISCOVERIES🩸🩸🩸 1. We peered into genomes and brains of the rare mosquitoes that QUIT feeding on blood and found what biting is built from 2. Humans got rid of isoleucine in their blood, malaria suffers from it, and mosquito proteomes budget for it THREADS>

Tl;dr: Mosquito proteomes match the proteins in our blood, and we suggest that your hemoglobin has no isoleucine as a defense against the very parasites mosquitoes carry

🎉 Out today in Cell: the paper I've been looking forward to sharing for a long time 🎉 We used cryo-ET to find a molecular machine nobody knew existed on the surface of a minimal bacterium, and worked out what it does. 🧵(1/7) #TeamTomo #cryoET

Recommended. A clear explanation of new mathematical result, unsolved since Erdos. Gives me faith in humans. Note the most important parts of the video are when the human explains the intuition (about injectivity), without writing on the blackboard at all. www.youtube.com/embed/WJlyqP...
