Nice to see this story out! The idea that viral mimicry is an intrinsic feedback mechanism for sensing cellular dysregulation is fascinating and this paper explores this idea really well. It was inspiring to be part of this collaborative work. Thanks to @bengrbm.bsky.social and the rest!

Repeats mimic pathogen-associated patterns across a vast evolutionary landscape

An emerging hallmark of disease is transcription of pathogen-associated molecular patterns from within the genome–known as viral mimicry. We propose a statistical physics framework to measure “selecti...
