Tired of knowing what you are looking for in your tomograms?
Why not try bluesky-less Frosina's new self-supervised algorithm for semantic segmentation and particle picking for #teamtomo (includes a new denoiser without the need for odd/even tomos)

Code is on GitHub if you want to try it out

Our new preprint with a new #Asgard from stromatolites (and its Desulfobacterota companion). Complete circularised genomes of both, cool #cryoem images, protein modelling, etc

Big group effort with a lot of people involved

An Asgard archaeon from a modern analog of ancient microbial mats
It has been proposed that eukaryotic cells evolved via symbiosis between sulfate-reducing bacteria and hydrogen-producing archaea. Here we describe a highly enriched culture of a novel Asgard archaeon...

We’ve uncovered Asgard chromatin structures formed by a Hodarchaeal histone : closed hypernucleosome conserved in archaea and an open form resembling the H3-H4 eukaryotic octasome. Fantastic work by @harshranawat.bsky.social!

Experiences and perceptions of sexism in dementia research careers: A global cross‐sectional survey
INTRODUCTION Sexism is prevalent in academia and is a crucial factor driving women out of the academic workforce. However, sexism in dementia research remains underexplored. This study aimed to unde.....

So happy to finally see this published 🎊🎊🎊🎊Thanks again to my former supervisor @brfalcon.bsky.social and my co-first
@stephfowler.bsky.social & the Duff Lab

Go an have a read on either the paper or how alzforum reported on this part of my PhD journey
Benjamin Ryskeldi-Falcon’s @brfalcon.bsky.social group in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division, with Karen Duff's group at the UK DRI, have discovered that tau filaments are tethered to the membranes of extracellular vesicles in #Alzheimers
