In @AnnualReviews @Shuke_Xiao and I synthesize two disparate observations (protein lactation and metabolite N-lactoylation) into a coherent framework. We argue that a common function is in information transfer and cellular memory- turning transient states to stable chemical marks
Happy to share a review article wrote by me, Jon, and Andrew on an emerging field: Lactate as a Chemical Modification on Proteins and Metabolites - go.shr.lc/4eq0Ani

In the W-S lab's first preprint, we describe how genomic language models know something about RNA thermodynamics. Though we think this is cool, things get tricky!
A growing practice for interpreting LMs is to perturb input tokens, often called "Categorical Jacobian": 👇

Excited to share the first manuscript from our lab! Here we identified a shared enzymatic mechanism linking N-acetylated β-amino acids to energy balance regulation @jbiolchem. Congratulations to our first PhD student, Ruida Li, from @CMB_UWMadison, for leading this work. Grateful for the tremendous support from @JudithSimcox @UWBiochem @longlabstanford @ssiipei

For 40+ years, we’ve known how UCP1 drives thermogenesis—but how UCP1-independent pathways are activated remained unknown. Thrilled to share our @Nature paper, led by Faiz Hussain, uncovering this mechanism:
