Our latest Asgard preprint is out! Closed genomes of Freyarchaeia & the previously uncharacterized Atabeyarchaeia indicate key roles in wetland soil carbon cycling. Led by @luisvalentin.bsky.socialisvalentin.bsky.social@katyappler.bsky.social@archaeal.bsky.socialwww.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Closed genomes from new Asgard archaea lineages using PacBio metagenomes! The sampling in this one is this is quite literally a backyard in northern California. Asgard archaea are not just found in extreme environments, but pretty much all around us!
Two open positions! Looking for a #bioinformatics #postdoc and a #laboratory #technician. Interested in joining the team? Check out www.microbial-ecology.net/open-positions
First paper out of Jazmin Blaz's PhD! In this collaborative effort, we're presenting two new sp. of Mantamonas and the first complete genome for a representative of CRuMs. Their phylogenetic position makes them key to understanding the early evolution of eukaryotes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Scientific Data - One high quality genome and two transcriptome datasets for new species of Mantamonas, a deep-branching eukaryote clade
Felix Key at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology is looking for a postdoc in "Microbiome Evolution", which sounds quite interesting. I don't think he's on this platform yet www.mpiib-berlin.mpg.de/2153816/job_...
We offer a postdoctoral position in Microbiome Evolution
Asgard archaea defense systems and their roles in the origin of immunity in eukaryotes www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #jcampubs
Excited for my first Blue Skye post! 🚀 Our latest paper from the Baker lab is out today in mBio! Interested in ocean hydrocarbon degradation & SIP-metagenomics? Check this out! 👇 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...@archaeal.bsky.social
