@WeismanCara @LucaFerrettiEvo @jomcinerney I agree, correlation is not causation. Many things could influence both codon usage and structure. E.g., a protein that experiences weaker purifying selection might more follow the mutation bias and could also have a less tight packing of aa side chains.

Delighted to share our opinion review paper in @Trends_Ecol_Evo, led by my student Isaiah Lee and in collab with the brilliant Peter @Gogarten_Lab and Omar Eldakar. We discuss HGT as driver, product and form of bacterial cooperation

We had a real moment of joy today in #TinyEarthNCCU when students audibly gasped and gathered round to celebrate a student who finally saw zones of inhibition around this antibiotic producing isolate! 🎉 @TinyEarthNet

@CheAndamMicro @NIH @NIGMS Congratulations! Well deserved!
The German translation of the I Ching has the popular phrase “Fördernd ist Beharrlichkeit”. (the English translation “Lasting perseverance is beneficial” has the same meaning, but never became as popular)

Congratulations to Sophia Gosselin, Matt Fullmer et al. on their publication describing the use of ANI and alignment fraction to calculate phylogenies (including non-parametric bootstrap support. https://t.co/z86RTw1J5l

This is amazing! Phagocytosis-like cell engulfment by a Planctomycete... Interesting twist: its genome encodes an Asgard-like actin homolog!
