Our new Review is online!
Nutrients can act as spatial signals that organise plant-microbe interactions. We discuss emerging tools and propose a cell-state framework linking plant and microbial cell states through local nutrient landscapes.

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available
And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot.
It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles.
But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.
I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.

Evo 2 is out in Nature today, showing that genome language models can predict and design across the full complexity of life, from phages to eukaryotes.
A few surprises from the project, including how ignoring trillions of nucleotides was key to getting a good model. 🧵

In this review we map the journey to animal multicellularity and define three extinct ancestral stages:
🔹 LUAA: Last Unicellular Animal Ancestor.
🔹 FACA: First Animal Common Ancestor.
🔹 LACA: Last Animal Common Ancestor.

(1/3) I am very happy to share that I’ll be moving to Aarhus University as an Assistant Professor in March. During these years, I’ve met so many great people who supported me on this path, and even if I can’t name everyone here, I’m truly grateful to all of you!
(2/3) I want to especially thank @cdessimoz for his advice and guidance; @toni_gabaldon for being my PhD mentor and for his constant support; @pablovargas1111 for his help during my thesis;
(3/3) @Marcet45 for being an important part of my development as a researcher; @LabMutwil for his practical advice; @Gloveface for her encouragement; and @DelliRiccardo for his unconditional support and for being my anchor. Thank you!
