What a week!🥳 Our work describing the functional and evolutionary history of viperins is finally out! We describe how this ancient immune gene was conserved and diversified across the tree of life ! Hope you enjoy the final version of the manuscript 😀
Our paper on the evolutionary history of Viperins is now out in Nature Ecology and Evolution @NatureEcoEvo : 🤩 As for other papers from the lab, we created an outreach video summarizing our findings here:

@FrunzkeLab @SPP2330 Yes! I remember those early useful conversations when we were still "in the cloud" for this project. Thanks Julia for being a supportive peer and looking forward to expanding this anti-phage chemical defense field
