EvoWeaver provides as output its 12 predictions for signals of coevolution, and can optionally provide an ensemble prediction using built-in pretrained models. Functional associations often result in correlated gain/loss patterns on a reference phylogenetic tree.

Will soon open a position in my group in Padova. Topic is mechanistic enzymology with cool serial X-ray, electron and neutron crystallography work... plenty of opportunities for collaborations with leading groups. Get in touch with me [email protected] if interested.

This year’s medicine laureates Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun studied a relatively unassuming 1 mm long roundworm, C. elegans. Despite its small size, C. elegans possesses many specialised cell types such as nerve and muscle cells also found in larger, more complex animals, making it a useful model for investigating how tissues develop and mature in multicellular organisms. Read how the 2024 medicine laureates’ investigations into C. elegans revealed an entirely new dimension to gene regulation: bit.ly/4dlPE6f #NobelPrize

Without x-rays, high-powered microscopes, and fancy research equipment... How would you figure out the size of a single molecule? Lord Rayleigh did it way back in 1890, using little more than oil, water, and a pen. His inspiration? Benjamin Franklin. My favorite experiment.🧵
