What a pleasure to have Hwan Su Yoon from Sungkyunkwan University in S. Korea visiting us in New Jersey. His group is doing path-breaking, creative algal research. Our long-term collaboration has always been joyful and spirited.

This paper was a lot of hard work, but worth it. We start to learn how Paulinella meets its CO2 needs in the chromatophore (enviromicro-journals.onlinel…). Congratulations Arwa G, @timstep1383 @JohnReinfelder @VickieCalatrava and Arthur G. @RutgersSEBS @RutgersNJAES @carnegiescience

A nice description in Science magazine by Liz Pennisi of the major results from our paper (@LFelipeB @timstep1383 @CouchMicroscopy @jgi) on Yellowstone National Park viruses can be found here, science.org/content/article/… (@RutgersSEBS @RutgersU_News @PSAAlgae @RutgersNJAES)

Giant viruses played a key role in early life, study in Yellowstone hot spring suggests

DNA analyses reveal viruses have infected red algae—and spurred evolution—for at least 1.5 billion years

We are excited to present a multi-omics analysis of the coral thermal stress response (cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S…). It is understandably complex. Great work @timstep1383 and team at @RutgersNB @RutgersSEBS @RutgersNJAES @Revive_Restore @NSF.

Food for thought with colleagues @CouchMicroscopy @LFelipeB @timstep1383 at @RutgersSEBS @RutgersNJAES. Why are the three Archaeplastida lineages so different from each other? Paulinella provides some answers. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Primary endosymbiosis gave rise to mitochondria and plastids. The proximate impacts of organelle origin on lineage evolution have not been addressed at the population level. Using data from the...

Our final story is out! Here we (@DebashB and @timstep1383) show evidence of integration of RNA and giant DNA viral genes into the marvelous #Symbiodiniaceae. We propose that endogenized viral genes could hauntingly modulate the life story of these algae: academic.oup.com/ve/advance-…
