If you take a GLP-1 drug (Ozempic) late in life does it extend lifespan, slow aging, and improve physiologic function?
Yes, if you're a female mouse

Complexity is a measure of how messy information is. In the first days of a mouse embryo, DNA methylation complexity becomes substantially less messy. Could this relate to epigenetic restoration in adults?

1/9 Interesting new paper by Kasalo, Domazet-Lošo et al. on amino acid biosynthesis & animal origins.
Some of the most energetically expensive amino acids became "outsourced" during early animal evolution rather than synthesized internally.

🦟 We've just published the world's first head-to-toe single-cell atlas of the Aedes aegypti mosquito in @CellCellPress! The #MosquitoCellAtlas maps 69 cell types across 19 tissues, revealing surprising biology: mosquitoes taste with their legs (more than we thought), glial cells (not neurons!) dramatically rewire after blood meal & males/females are nearly identical at the cellular level—with intriguing exceptions.

Delighted to share the peer-reviewed version of our study now out in @GenomeBiology! We analyzed 64 chromosome-level genomes across 15 animal phyla and found that extensive genome rearrangements are the norm in bilaterians. doi.org/10.1186/s13059-025-0…

How do insects hear?
In this preprint, we reveal a stunning 3D ultrastructure of the insect mechanosensory nerve ending. Then, through separate experiments, we show that axial stretch along its axis is the mechanism that activates the auditory neuron.

📢Glad to share our genome paper on an early-diverged cephalochordate species, Asymmetron lucayanum! By decoding & analyzing this genome in a comparative genomics framework, we know better now regarding the genome and gene evolution in cephalochordates.

Yes.
Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking.
Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

It has been a while… but an updated, faster & more accurate version of OrthoFinder is now out!
Scales to thousands of species on conventional compute resources with higher accuracy than ever before and the same data rich fully phylogenetic outputs

Popular methods like UMAP & t-SNE are stochastic and distort data structure.
Bonsai - a novel method - builds trees to relate high-dimensional objects, accounting for measurement noise.
