Differences in constraint reflect changes in host-virus interactions, immune pressures, and protein functions that have evolved over the thousands of years since these viruses diverged. A really fun collaboration with new friends! Congrats to @williambakhache.bsky.social and @bealro.bsky.social 🧪 🦠

Excited to have this collaboration from #QVEU and @rongellerlab.bsky.social lab out in the world! After publishing our own #DeepMutationalScanning studies on two related viruses, we asked what we learn from comparisons of such datasets. The answer is a lot!

Out today in @natecoevo.nature.com!

📝 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We compare the mutational tolerance of enteroviruses A & B across their full proteomes, mapping distinct host interaction strategies 🦠 and identifying mutation-resistant regions that could inform antiviral development 💊

Very happy to see this collaboration out! ⬇️

Watch how the measles outbreak spreads when kids get vaccinated – and when they don't If you take 10 communities and run a simulation, it’s easy to see why we need as many members of the ‘herd’ as possible to get vaccines – before it’s too late

Because who doesn't love a good simulation of measles vaccination and herd immunity? www.theguardian.com/society/ng-i...
