Version of free #textbook for #biology undergraduates "Quantitative Concepts for Biologists" with many corrections for typos/grammar:
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21275274
Ran the complete LaTeX source through an open weights LLM and used emacs/ediff to decide on each change.

Cell migration is fundamental to many biological processes (cancer metastasis, cellular immunity, development, ...). Here we introduce a new computational method & free tool to evaluate high-throughput cell migration assays.

If you are looking for an introductory textbook on #QuantitativeBiology for undergraduates: I have just uploaded a free book (with exercise material) that I have written over the last months. It is the first edition, so have mercy.

🤒 Why do we actually get a #fever? One reason is that immune cells move faster at higher temperatures. A team led by Stefan Wieser at the Institute of Zoology has now uncovered the molecular mechanism behind this process, with the motor protein myosin II taking center stage.

6. 7/8 🌐📚 Future prospects: there was so little biochemical data for our specific proteins, we had to rely on genome-wide data (PBMs). We could then estimate Kd for ANY sequence. That means, also for sequence variants.
Our earlier Framework Model v2 (FMv2) and FM-Life models link the clock right up, through plant metabolism, growth, development and physiology, to seed-to-seed adaptation in real weather.
Anyone who assembles these parts gets to predict how an Arabidopsis genome sequence variant will be adapted to climatic conditions. With a full causal chain. The mechanisms of evolutionary adaptation.👀 #GoForIt
Sure it’s simplified and there’s much to validate but it’s there. DNA-binding Kd is just where we started, there’s more known biochemistry to add.

It turns out it may be better to have (genetically) curly than straight hair (or no hair at all), 👩🏽🦱 especially under extreme heat and/or sun exposure - shows a recent study by
@TinaLasisi
et al. 🧬
Tightly curled hair came off best in their experiment than other hair types (bald head, straight hair, moderately curled hair) regarding minimising sweating and overheating.#Anthropology #biologicalanthropology #QuantitativeBiology #ComputationalBiology

Suggest a few good examples from mathematical and theoretical biology that can help to convince an uninitiated biologist that theory and mathematical models matter in Biology.
I need a few examples for a general talk to a broader audience of "experimental biologists."
