Show PostCongratulations to Edan Mortman and @sternberglab.bsky.social @shsternberg.bsky.social on this fascinating and important achievement! 🎉 Your work provides a compelling look at how selfish genetic elements balance their own propagation with the survival of their host. @columbiauniversity.bsky.social
