Our review is now online! Led by @soobinshin.bsky.social, we dig into the secondary metabolites shaping insect-fungus symbioses, from mutualists to parasites, and how they drive host specificity, behaviour & immunity 🐛🪲🍄🍄‍🟫 @thesainsburylab.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

#Fungi sustain food, medicine & climate resilience, but #mycologists from low-income countries often can't afford to attend global conferences. The International Mycological Association is raising $30k for #IMC13 travel awards. You can help make fungal science more inclusive 👇 #gofundme #science

The field of fungal secondary metabolism is expanding as genomics, metabolomics, and computational methods make it easier to expose the chemicals encoded in fungal genomes. In #GENETICS, @kellerlab.bsky.social describes her journey into the world of #fungi 🍄 #Fungal2026 🔗 buff.ly/q979vtf

If you predict or annotate genes from whole genomes, what would you like current software to do better? What's still missing, unnecessarily difficult, or hard to trust? I'm interested in problems that matter in real projects, including the unglamorous ones. #Bioinformatics #GenomeAnnotation

At last, a pill that can PREVENT COVID after exposure to infected people buff.ly/RxebpGI Ensitrelvir cut infection from 9% to 3% in household contacts. This is the first oral post-exposure prophylaxis for COVID ever proven to work. Game changer for the immunocompromised. #medsky 😷 #publichealth

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/4tsDqRr

1/ BRAKER4 hatched! The Earth BioGenome Project is on track to sequence ~1.5M eukaryotic species. Every one needs a structural annotation. No Perl monolith was going to survive that. So we rewrote BRAKER from the ground up. github.com/Gaius-August...

I had a great time at #FGC26. I enjoyed presenting my research on the developmental regulation of innate immunity (NLRs) and specialized metabolism in mushroom-forming fungi. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat. I look forward to the next one!
