Last week I attended my first #EMBO #ParaFrap Host-Parasite Interaction meeting in Les Embiez 🇫🇷 I had an amazing time packed with great science and people 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬
Thank you to the organizers for the chance to talk about Perkinsus 🦠🦪 and thank you to everyone for the support! 🥹

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, producing essential energy for life 🏭⚙️. To synthesize the proteins for this process, mitochondria have mitoribosomes. But, how do the mitoribosomes from Alveolates assemble? 🧵

⁦@RossWaller3⁩ ⁦@CamWallerLab⁩ Ross Waller credits Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders with figuring out Myzozoa long before the rest of us. #cgue

[Geoff McFadden @McfaddenGeoff]

⁦@realBenJen⁩ tells us about glycans in cell/cell recognition for symbiosis. #CGUE

[VEuPathDB @veupathdb]

Welcome back! VEuPathDB resources are back online today! We will continue to provide bioinformatics services under a new organizational structure. Read more here: https://t.co/YNX4KBuIxV

Follow #CGUE for more exciting research from the Eme group

[WallerLab @CamWallerLab]

The proverbial tree of life, it brings a robust picture on how organisms are related to one another and how they evolve. If we go back to the very beginning, we will find LUCA, but this is #CGUE and we'll focus in LECA

[WallerLab @CamWallerLab]

There is more to be done, the use of a curated but small set of genes is able to explain the current rooting of the eukaryotic tree of life, however the internal groupings require additional genes, different evolutionary models and of course, more extensive sampling
