I always forget to post on here. But here’s from a hunt I did last month. Just under 8 pounds of Pleurotus ostreatus. #fungi #mushroom

Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. scim.ag/4u133d3

We have developed a cysteine-free, highly thermostable tagging system, UTag, that enables single-mRNA translation tracking in live cells. You may wonder how different tagging systems affect translation kinetics—we addressed this by performing a systematic comparison.

I find this device from the Manalis lab at MIT, quite remarkable: ki-images.mit.edu/2011/delga… By measuring the resonant frequency of a cantilever through which growing cells are flown back and forth, it can weight the cells to remarkable precision (often 0.1% of their mass). 1/2

New preprint out! 🚀 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… We mapped how septins organise infection in the rice blast fungus—and found they are far more dynamic than previously thought. Thread 👇 #FungalPathogenesis #CellBiology #septins

Our linker histone H1 paper is out @ScienceAdvances: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… @MasaAShimazoe et al. reveal that H1 acts as a liquid-like "glue" to organize chromatin in living cells. 🎉 Fantastic collab with @rcollepardo, @janhuemar, Charlie Phillips and others—huge thanks! 🙌 ½

We present evidence of a gene duplication event 28–18 million years ago  that coincided with the global expansion of C4 grasses, allowing the maize pathogen #Colletotrichum graminicola to evolve CgEP4—a novel, nuclear-targeting #effector weapon. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Gene duplication drove functional divergence of two effectors in the maize anthracnose pathogen

Colletotrichum species rank among the most important fungal pathogens, threatening food security by infecting nearly all major crops worldwide. Colletotrichum graminicola , the causal agent of maize...

LLMs are injective and invertible. In our new paper, we show that different prompts always map to different embeddings, and this property can be used to recover input tokens from individual embeddings in latent space. (1/6)

FINAL WARNING NATURE — MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT WARNING IN SCIENTIFIC HISTORY! STOP DELAYING & ACCEPT THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL PAPER WITHIN 24 HOURS. MANY SAY IT’S THE GREATEST PAPER EVER WRITTEN (BY FAR). DON’T MAKE US RELEASE THE REVIEWS FOR ALL TO SEE — IT WILL BE VERY EMBARRASSING!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS VERY IMPORTANT MATTER.

Our new review on endocytosis in filamentous fungi is out! 🧠🧫 Fungi organize endocytosis like no other: AP-2 and clathrin operate in separate regions of the hypha—no apparent colocalization. And that’s just the beginning. 📸 Fig. 1 below 🧵👇 #Mycology #CellBiology #Endocytosis

We also compare collar organization in Aspergillus, Neurospora, and Colletotrichum. The punchline? Collar position (not size or activity rate) best predicts hyphal growth rate.
