NEW publication out in @NatureMicrobiol!🥳

The conidial surfaceome (surface proteins) of #Aspergillus fumigatus contains unique proteins absent in non-pathogenic relatives. KOs revealed 33 genes affect #pathogenesis and related traits, indicating the surfaceome impacts virulence

Kind of weird to see genomics people here today celebrating the log-fold-change of 0.0007371 in the top two times for the 100m dash at the olympics, but also throwing out any result where the log-fold-change is less than 1.

Interested in how we can leverage all this fancy new omics data to improve plants for productivity under climate change? @jnbserres and I share our ideas in this new review: https://t.co/ezXV7TvHct

Excited to be expanding our work with Syngenta!! 🌱🧬

Ag biologicals are a great approach for reducing certain pesticides and improving yields of crops. Tons of great work to do here in the future

I didn’t watch the debate, so when I read this too fast I was both excited and worried that multiple drug resistant fungal pathogens were brought up…

@teresa_omeara I feel your pain! We are constantly fighting and linting GFFs. The decisons people make sometimes are… interesting…
