Single-cell heterogeneity in interferon induction potential is heritable and governed by variation in cell state
Thayer et al. used multiple approaches to uncover why only a few cells in a population express IFN upon RNA stimulation. They found that variation in cell signaling state at the time of stimulation is...

Happy to see @joelrc.bsky.social's paper identifying cellular heterogeneity in basal OASL expression as a major determinant of interferon induction during influenza virus infection out in its final form: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Happy new year, hope everyone's 2026 is better than 2025!

Finally, it's up on bioRxiv! It's been a rewarding journey shaping this story. My deepest gratitude to @vignuzzilab.bsky.social and @christopherbrooke.bsky.social for their incredible support, and to the @mcbillinois.bsky.social & @astar-idlabs.bsky.social for enabling this research

No better reason to join Bluesky then to say the first chapter of my PhD is out as a preprint! New surgeonfish phylogeny, ecomorphological relationships, evolutionary shape correlations-with NEW method to accurately account for phylogenetic covariation among shapes! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Phylogenetic relationships and the evolution of fin and body shape in the surgeonfishes
Patterns of evolutionary change in the fin and body shapes of fishes are strongly related to dietary ecology and locomotor mechanisms, and associations between shapes affects ecomorphological relation...

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Revealing Reassortment in Influenza A Viruses with TreeSort
Abstract. Reassortment among influenza A viruses (IAV) facilitates evolution and has been associated with interspecies transmission and pandemics. We intro

Check out @mfarjo.bsky.social's new preprint where she uses a simulation-based approach to explore the evolutionary consequences of genetic mixing through co-infection for segmented viruses: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... hope you like it!

The fitness consequences of coinfection and reassortment for segmented viruses depend upon viral genetic structure
Cellular coinfection between multiple virions is a common feature of viral infections. The collective virus-virus interactions enabled by these coinfections can influence the fitness of viral populati...

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Why can't these viruses be friends? In a new study from her PhD @cvrinfo.bsky.social, #AnnaSims shows that #SARS-CoV-2 infections segregate into distinct microdomains as they spread. But why? (1/N) journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
Cells glowing either magenta or green, showing infection by two different viruses. The differently coloured regions meet at a sharp interface with little overlap. A scale bar marks 1 mm.
