🚨 New paper out
@MicrobioSoc! #Genome 🧬 characterization of #CCA-associated bacteria 🦠, with antimicrobial activity against antibiotic💊-resistant pathogens! #AMR
doi.org/10.1099/mgen.0.00145…
@PSUmBiome
It is worth mentioning that this study was greatly led by the at the time undergrad student @DiegoDLera. Proof of how great #UndergradResearch can be! 🤓
Also with amazing contributions from @sam_kratman, @JordanRuiz30, @kimbeachritchie, @medinaLabPSU and others! 👥👥👥 #TeamWork 💪
Stoke to announce that I will be joining the Dept of Biology @txst this coming Fall semester as an Assistant Professor!
Looking for grad students with interests in #Symbiodiniaceae, #corals 🪸, microbial #symbiosis 🦠, comparative #genomics 🧬 and #phylogenomics soon. Reach out!

“It’s interesting that we can see changes in coral health through a symbiotic relationship.”🪸
“Not to be dramatic, but the planet is gettin’ toasty & salty.”♨️
“Sometimes it is difficult to tell the significance of ethical science when in the context of current world events.”🌎

I'm looking for a postdoc! The successful applicant will lead neuro- and comparative genomic analyses to characterize neurobiology-related genetic variation in wild coral populations. Learn more and apply here - I will be reviewing apps beginning Oct 18: usccareers.usc.edu/job/los-a…
🚨New paper alert! We generated a draft #genome for a #giantclam #Symbiodiniaceae symbiont (Cladocopium infistulum), which is extracellular and thermotolerant:

🧬Though we identified extensive genome duplication in this genome, #WGD appears inconclusive. Other mechanisms, such as segmental duplication driven by mobile elements (at least partially) may be playing a role.
Yesterday, I had an amazing afternoon with @MarkScherz! He gave me a great tour of the zoological collection at @NHM_Denmark! 🦎🐋🪸🐠🦌

Many novel Asgard genomes, cultivated Lokiarchaeia, new phylogenetic analyses: what insights do these and other recent studies provide into the enigmatic origin of eukaryotes? In this review in @Nature , we discuss the latest findings and open questions: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
