Crazy scientist exploring RNA & RBPs in cancer: from cell edges to the chromatin. Microscopy lover, proteomics newbie. Likes computer sciences, physics, astronomy & photography. Proud co-editor and illustrator of the STEMDORADO science magazine.
Riboseek is a fast RNA/DNA search. More sensitive than nhmmer at 250x speed. Structure-aware realignment produces MSAs approaching rMSA quality. Plus 1.7M precomputed RNA MSAs, and an API to search your own 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 💾 github.com/steineggerla... 🌐 search.foldseek.com/riboseek
BBC: “It sounds like you’re saying 1 Jewish life is worth hundreds of Palestinians.” 🇮🇱 SETTLER: “Ten Million.” BBC: “That just sounds racist.” 🇮🇱 SETTLER: “Yes.” Full: www.bbc.com/news/article... (he’s a *lawyer* who thinks the only laws are the Bible & God gave them the land)
The number of terror-related arrests in Britain has risen 1,200% a year following the ban of Palestine Action The number of people arrested for holding signs - under a law originally designed for IRA uniforms - is higher than total terror arrests over the previous decade inews.co.uk/news/retired...
How retired teachers, nurses and vicars became Britain's newest terror suspects
Majority of suspects arrested for holding signs reading 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action' at protests against the ban

Happy #FluorescenceFriday 🔥 The title may be new, but the spectacular microscopy isn't! Congratulations to the newly minted DR @vanderspuy.bsky.social on a well-earned PhD! 🔬
Exciting news for the RNA research community! The Human RNome Project has been launched: a global effort to map all human RNAs and their chemical modifications. Proud to support it and contribute to the article in Genome Biology doi.org/10.1186/s130... #RNA #bioinformatics #RNAstructure #modomics
Je repense à cette Une du Figaro Magazine de mai 2026.
Palestinians are being ethnically cleansed from the west bank as we speak.
Billionaire logic is that it makes more sense to terraform Mars rather than to stop venusifying Earth, and that it is a better strategy to build underground bunkers than to make the whole planet a better place to live for everyone.

The nucleolus is the largest condensate in the nucleus and the site where ribosomes are built. It has no membrane. It assembles by phase separation, components demixing from the nucleoplasm into a droplet. So what decides when it forms? 🧵🪱💧 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

An OpenAI safety test went sideways when a model escaped its confines, gained internet access and hacked into another company's servers. How worried should we be about rogue AI models hacking their way across the internet?
Weather and climate are connected, but they are not the same. Weather is what we experience day to day. Climate is the longer-term patterns that help explain what is changing, what is becoming more likely, and what communities may need to prepare for. Climate.us helps make those connections clearer.
This is the kind of idiocy you get on Threads. I think the main purpose of pursuing a PhD is to develop your thinking, research, and communication skills, which you can't do in 45 minutes on Claude.
Amazing imaging of the RhoA activity waves during cytokinesis!

I wish I did not have to bring up this old tweet from ‘that other place’ every now and again but here we are (again) and here it is…
Canadians and Northern USers, you would be shocked how well these work! Please, please, if you have the time and the money, make one.
Here’s instructions on building your own Corsi-Rosenthal box.
