PhD student @UniBasel working on metapopulation genomics

Two years of my PhD are history and they went by so fast 😳 We managed to publish a first bit in @MolBioEvol: https://t.co/wSonDVCj4H Thank you Camille Ameline, Christoph Haag, @FridaBen_Ami, Dieter Ebert, and @peterdfields!

[Pascal Angst @PascalAngst]

Also included: High-quality genome assemblies, an overview of present/absent protein domains and repeat activity across microsporidia.

[Pascal Angst @PascalAngst]

New prepint on microsporidia genome architecture. We (@peterdfields) find covariance in GC content, chromosomal sequence arrangement, and epigenetic modification https://t.co/NzxWWuKF7C

[bioRxiv Evobio @biorxiv_evobio]

Variation in genome architecture and epigenetic modification across the microsporidia phylogeny https://t.co/jIA5jIdwRG #biorxiv_evobio

[bioRxiv Evobio @biorxiv_evobio]

Genome-wide allele frequency changes reveal that dynamic metapopulations evolve differently https://t.co/TIHtkqhmIM #biorxiv_evobio

[Pascal Angst @PascalAngst]

We contrast these findings with a large, stable population of the same species, which allows us to identify and explicate the ways in which metapopulation dynamics affect SFS in important and quantifiable ways. (4/4)

[Pascal Angst @PascalAngst]

Here the study I presented @Biology24Zurich. It characterizes whole-genome allele frequency changes in dynamic metapopulations giving insights into their evolution. @peterdfields and I are looking forward to any sort of feedback https://t.co/1zUu5R2YEk (1/4)

[Pascal Angst @PascalAngst]

We link the shifts to colonization, immigration, and other metapopulation-specific processes. Thus, we demonstrate a novel use of this summary as an indicator of rapid evolution in response to ecology. (3/4)

New year, new study organism! Finally some genomes of porcelain crabs: https://t.co/3wAhckiM7K Many thanks to Jonathon Stillman for involving me in the project. #G3Journal

Thanks for organizing the Microsporidia Fest @BhabhaEkiertLab and offering me the opportunity to give a talk. Is there a tag for #MicrosporidiaFest, or is it a secret organization that I accidentally revealed? See the slides of my short presentation at: https://t.co/zNHzAGL9nx

[Pascal Angst @PascalAngst]

It's done. Even though not 100% complete, we finally feel confident to publish this genome https://t.co/R5fbOIhLq1. Bourbon, right @peterdfields? 🥳

[Pascal Angst @PascalAngst]

Thanks, everyone, for the discussions at #SMBE2023. For those who missed the sweaty poster session, here is a link to our SFS approach for the study of metapopulations https://t.co/pFWLewgTwA

@HAugustijnen Congrats!! 🤩🥳

[Pascal Angst @PascalAngst]

I spent two weeks at @Tvarminne doing field work and finishing the genome report for Hamiltosporidium tvaerminnensis – named after this place. It was a truly inspiring trip. Thank you @peterdfields, Dieter Ebert, Jean-François, and Jürgen https://t.co/SARlUX4lXJ

[Pascal Angst @PascalAngst]

Publication news: Our article about a microsporidium with a genome size of about 2 Mbp. (Eukaryote!) is out in #G3Journal @GeneticsGSA including the first microsporidian mutation rate estimate. When do we celebrate @peterdfields and Dieter Ebert? 🥳 https://t.co/vN5nMB3ByB

[Pascal Angst @PascalAngst]

@FridaBen_Ami @Tvarminne Many thanks, @FridaBen_Ami @Tvarminne

[Pascal Angst @PascalAngst]

@NM_Reid Now available as a preprint: https://t.co/MXMm6BQN1r

[Pascal Angst @PascalAngst]

@NM_Reid It's what we see for Daphnia populations in ponds on the same and on different islands that experience frequent extinction and (re)colonization. More on that is in preparation. https://t.co/Eh8GPu71hz
