Demis -- I think AlphaFold3 is really exciting. As Reviewer #3, I got great results from the server. I tried hard to get @Nature to urge you to release the code but was unsuccessful. I did not get it for re-review so I don't know if you responded. So why no code? @GoogleDeepMind
Thrilled to announce AlphaFold 3 which can predict the structures and interactions of nearly all of life’s molecules with state-of-the-art accuracy including proteins, DNA and RNA. Biology is a complex dynamical system so modeling interactions is crucial blog.google/technology/ai/go…

1. We're thrilled to announce our paper on the evolution of plant NLR immune receptors has found a home at @ThePlantCell ! doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koae1…🎉 This work builds on our original preprint, which you can check out here:
1. Our first preprint is now online! “The N-terminal executioner domains of NLR immune receptors are functionally conserved across major plant lineages” #evoMPMI #NLR #Marchantia @Khongsam_Chia et al. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our durum wheat developing endosperm transcriptome is now published! :) We've added some extra comparisons to the hexaploid wheat transcriptome and some qRT-PCR. Many thanks to all involved!

To accompany our recent preprint where we present a protein that influences starch granule initiation during grain development, here is the RNAseq we performed on Kronos durum wheat endosperm throughout grain development!

Look at these pretty grains!
