What is the most appropriate platform for roasting a #bioinformatics colleague? You simply put them on BLAST

Important work! Generally we either think about specialized glycan binding proteins (lectins) or we don't think about glycans. Canner et al help us see the massive world proteins, 35-40%, that also bind glycans! Thanks Sam for bringing glycan-protein interactions into focus!

Important numbers to know for the difficult years ahead. Also worth asking if the "next dollar" will yield similar returns. How much more would we need to invest in research to see less than a 250% return?

A B cell screen against endogenous retroviruses identifies glycan-reactive IgM that recognizes a broad array of enveloped viruses
Profiling of ERV-reactive B-1 cells in mice reveals natural antibodies against terminal N-acetylglucosamine on multiple viral envelope proteins.

Partner and I got an icecream maker. Tldr, we think we can make some weird icecream with a bit of help from glycans! Will share if it's good or weird.

Reposting for continuity... I believe we discovered a comprehensive mapping from protein structure to glycan structure, a genetic encoding for specific glycans, and a new paradigm in extracellular biology. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
