For the first time we characterize viruses that infect Asgard archaea hosts! ⚡️
These viruses are unique since they mix features from #phages and Eukaryotic #viruses .
Our awesome microbiology lab (Brett Baker, Ian Rambo (lead), Maggie Langwig, Pedro Leao, Val De Anda) just published the first discovery of viruses infecting a group of #microbes that may include the ancestors of all complex life. https://t.co/sBF7nSUlWA #TexasScience#UTMSI

The world’s longest evolution experiment is now in Austin!
On Tuesday, Jeff Barrick thawed 12 strains of E. coli that have evolved for 75,000 generations—that’s equivalent to 1.5 million yrs of human evolution. We can’t wait to see what surprises & discoveries are in store! #LTEE
📡: Seminar on the Discovery of Asgard viruses (When? Tomorrow, April 5th at 4pm (CET); Where? Online: Who? Ian Rambo @Rambomics)

@RhoyStarkiller @val_deanda @MAGgie_Langwig @archaeal @UTMSI@UTAustin Thanks Rodrigo! Yeah I was inspired to name the first Loki virus I analyzed after the wolf Fenrir while listening to Father of the Wolf 🤘
Dear all lovers of new archaea lineages or unusual methanogens active in methane emitting wetlands, we’ve got a session this afternoon built just for you. Plenty of time for q & a, so come join us and let’s support our ECR while swapping science stories. @val_deanda @23rd_grade
