"To capture existing knowledge on suppression interactions between human genes, we examined 2,400 published papers for potential interactions identified through either genetic modification of cultured human cells or through association studies in patients. The resulting network encompassed 476 unique suppression interactions that often linked genes that function in the same biological process."

Pricing of Bavarian Nordic's smallpox/monkeypox vaccine
'The price range for a single dose of the vaccine can be between $70 and more than $300, depending on order size and commercial agreements between the drugmaker and the country buying it, according to a person familiar with the matter.'

It's nearing a week now, so I will make this my last "introduction" toot.
Of all the popular science articles I have written, this Nautilus piece -- The Botanist Who Defied Stalin-- is the one I most cherish. It was an HONOR to write about Nikolai VAVILOV.
'A member of civil society from Egypt said the surveillance and intimidation was “signalling to everyone that we have to behave, or else. It’s really very hard,” he said. “Unlike other Cops, everyone seems to feel afraid due to this surveillance. There’s less activity, you don’t feel the spirit of the event, a push for climate activism and against the big polluters.”

A pretty inconvenient truth. The price of scientific visibility is paid with air travel and the associated damage to the environment.
Sadly, it looks like not even an ongoing pandemic can change this unsustainable privilege (after all, researchers of low and middle income countries tend to be excluded due to high travel costs and visa issues).
How Candida poaches host heme:
"While vacuolar function and the endocytic pathway were found to be essential for heme-iron utilization (Weissman et al., 2008), the mechanism for heme internalization into the cell was unknown. Here, we fill this gap, and identify a family of membrane proteins, previously classified as FREs based on sequence homology (Almeida et al., 2009; Baek et al., 2008), that are essential for heme uptake into the cell."

This preprint showing masks reduce COVID incidence in schools appeared Aug 9 https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.08.09.22278385v1 It was published Nov 9th https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2211029 Given schools opened in the interim, is this the best argument for preprints in public health?

Really well done paper on universal masking in schools in New England Journal of Medicine. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2211029?query=featured_home

Job post
We are hiring an editor!
Do you have a background in ecology or evolution, and want to be involved in a broader range of topics than your own research area?
We are particularly keen to extend the geographical representation of our editorial team (see some possible locations in the job ad below).
'Geopolitical thinking is unabashedly grim, and it regards hopes for peace, justice and rights with scepticism. The question, however, is not whether it’s bleak, but whether it’s right. Past decades have brought major technological, intellectual and institutional changes. But are we still, as Marshall contends, “prisoners of geography”?

Speaking of #celegans ... now the wireless #connectome!
"The neuropeptidergic connectome of C. elegans" by Lidia Ripoll et al. 2022, a collaboration between Isabel Beets', Petra Vertes' and Bill Schafer's labs https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.10.30.514396v2
"This connectome is characterized by a high connection density, extended signaling cascades, autocrine foci, and a decentralized topology, with a large, highly interconnected core containing three constituent communities sharing similar patterns of input connectivity. Intriguingly, several of the most important nodes in this connectome are little-studied neurons that are specialized for peptidergic neuromodulation."
