I’m thrilled to share that the first manuscript of my PhD is now live on bioRxiv 🎉: Compensatory Evolution to DNA Replication Stress is Robust to Nutrient Availability. Let’s dive into what we found and why it matters! 🔍🧵 (1/7) https://t.co/67NgYDjewp
🎺 The PhD call @IGCiencia is open! Our lab (and many others) will be recruiting this round. Take a look at this exciting program which values independence and interdisciplinarity! #phdlife
Let me introduce you our modelling and experiment blend, where we show that the establishment of resistance alleles in microbial populations depends on the ploidy level!
Want to know if it's a match? 😏 Check our paper!!

New pre-print!
“Segregational drift hinders the evolution of antibiotic resistance on polyploid replicons”

...we suggest that the distribution of fitness effects depends on the replicon ploidy level -> Strategies for drug treatment of bacterial infections should take into consideration the pathogen ploidy level. Great modelling work by @MarioSanter and @HildegardUecker

Our new study on pangenome evolution in mussel endosymbionts transmitted via the environment, we find that gene content is mainly evolving vertically, not horizontally, with @devaropi@DaganLab https://t.co/w7w9ndxM8B
You think this is proof enough for my grandma to understand that I’m not in school anymore? 👶📚

As magical as a unicorn 🦄 here comes my first paper:
Darwinian individuality of extrachromosomal genetic elements calls for population genetics tinkering
https://t.co/9kkmyCpIQd
Natural selection operates on extra-chromosomal elements in two hierarchical levels: the host and the population; read here how we used intra-cellular plasmid competitions to quantify #plasmid fitness: https://t.co/GJP4dbYi2j
