Happy to share the Biodiversity Cell Atlas white paper, out today in @nature.com. We look at the possibilities, challenges, and potential impacts of molecularly mapping cells across the tree of life.

#Mitochondrial proteins are synthesized with presequences that target them to the #mitochondrion, but why are some more efficient than others? This study identifies presequences which recruit Hsp90 co-chaperones & TOMM34 to confer prioritized import efficiency @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4m6spBN
Model of the enhanced targeting competence of group A presequences: The specific recruitment of targeting factors such as TOMM34 and Cns1 can increase the import efficiency in a Tom70-mediated manner.

Aye-ayes are clearly unusual, but @glom.bsky.social @3rdreviewer.bsky.social &co show that they also have an unusual pattern of #MutationBias; older females transmit more mutations than males. This is a first for mammals, raising questions about other #lemurs 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/40SR4kj
Top: A picture of the aye-aye named Elphaba. Image credit: David Haring, Duke Lemur Center. Bottom: Pedigree structure of the aye-ayes used in this study. The 18 individuals sequenced in this study are shown: males as squares and females as circles. Two individuals (IDs 100937 and 100935) appear multiple places in the pedigree, each time connected by a dashed line. Elphaba is at the bottom right.

Excited to be able to share our new paper 'Iron Mediated Post-Transcriptional Regulation in Toxoplasma gondii'! Thanks to all involved including the awesome @clarehardinglab.bsky.social and @danaaghabi.bsky.social! journals.plos.org/plospathogen.... Read on for quick-read digest of our new work...
Iron-mediated post-transcriptional regulation in Toxoplasma gondii
Author summary Although iron is essential for most cells, excess can be toxic, so uptake and storage must be carefully controlled. The ability to respond to iron is particularly important for parasite...

I haven’t posted anything yet, but my first post shows my new city and my best paw. He’s not a Colts fan anymore.
