🔬 Meet Michalis Averof, ZooCELL PI at IGFL @michalis-averof.bsky.social What sparked his interest in EvoDevo? What keeps him curious after all these years? And what does he hope to discover next? 🧵 Read on to get to know Michalis through his own words. #ZooCELL#EvoDevo#genomics#IGFL#MSCA
Do you work with a strange model species and are frustrated by the lack of antibodies for immunos? Here's a web app that does some computational pre-screening for you. sixpack-abscan.serve.scilifelab.se
I like this concept of the genome as a compressed representation of an organism. Not like a ZIP file that recreates the same file in smaller form, but more like an AI model where a compact sequence (DNA) generates an organism through probabilistic interactions using molecules that it encodes itself.
