Paper out now on #hydrothermalvent#protists! We went to the Gorda Ridge in 2019 aboard @EVNautilus to better understand the microbial life at these important deep-sea ecosystems🦠🔬🌊🤓🧵

Excited to share our preprint on sequencing extracellular/cellular rRNA to determine lysis in ~17k prokaryotic taxa, led by @kevinzhong2006. Rare taxa show high lysis, consistent with "kill-the-winner". Would love your comments https://t.co/x1YuQ5AKJk.

Manuscript published today! Check out the method we used to isolate exocellular “free” DNA from the open ocean. Yes, nearly a THIRD of all the DNA in the ocean is nonliving! Available on LO Methods: https://t.co/ZwlC9hMLu2
How did it get there? Who is it coming from? Stay tuned!
