🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨
Our latest work on Escherichia coli and the regulation of DNA replication initiation via DnaA titration on the chromosome, led by Lorenzo Olivi. Here’s a thread summarizing our findings. 🧵👇 @WUR @Ettema_lab @HohlbeinLab et al. https://t.co/A1qJ8aYShg

Many novel Asgard genomes, cultivated Lokiarchaeia, new phylogenetic analyses: what insights do these and other recent studies provide into the enigmatic origin of eukaryotes? In this review in @Nature , we discuss the latest findings and open questions: https://t.co/LnGcoz50ot

Delve into the fascinating world of #Ichthyosporea in our review @SpringerNature @CommsBio with @victoriashabard @Jennah_E_D @PSuarezAra @merimonas et al. Thrilled to have collaborated with pioneers in Ichthyosporea like Wyth & Hiroshi, who laid the groundwork in isolating species, sequencing their genomes and developing transfection protocols. Do not skip the section in the hidden diversity. I am sure you will love it! Enjoy! @IBE_Barcelona

🚀 Identifying new eukaryotic signature proteins in Asgard archaea has been a fun, exciting, at times overwhelming (so many protein structures) but fulfilling ride so far with @Ettema_lab at @MIB_WUR

[Thijs J. G. Ettema 🦠🔬🇳🇱🇸🇪🇪🇺 @Ettema_lab]

Our latest: Using de novo protein structure prediction and sensitive sequence searches we found many new eukaryotic signature proteins in Asgard archaea, suggesting the archaeal ancestor of eukaryotes was more complex than previously assumed. @koestlste https://t.co/SoxnBM2Iu6

Paper out today: “RNA-guided RNA Silencing by an Asgard archaeal Argonaute”. A wonderful, multidisciplinary project co-led with @DCSwarts @ChirlminJoo_Lab, spearheaded by @C_Bastiaanssen @pilar_bobadilla @k1jun_ @FinocchioGiada & Yanlei Feng. https://t.co/Yh3wXAYFc3 @NatureComms

Final and open access version now available online here. https://t.co/605OtgfQkt More efforts to resolve (Asgard) archaeal phylogeny (& taxonomy) will follow! #archaea #taxonomy #asgard

@jlsteenwyk @evomics @ania_karnkowska @Rosamygale @toni_gabaldon @RokasLab Thank you for the very constructive discussions!
I am happy to see the function implemented in PhyKIT already!! Many thanks!

[🧬Jacob L Steenwyk @jlsteenwyk]

PhyKIT, version 1.13.0, now has a function to calculate compositional biases in individual taxa — see the RCVT

Exciting PhD opportunity available in our lab in Wageningen! Join us! #PhDOpportunity

[Thijs J. G. Ettema 🦠🔬🇳🇱🇸🇪🇪🇺 @Ettema_lab]

Job opportunity! I will soon announce a PhD position in cultivation of novel microbial lineages (#archaea!). If you are interested in joining our @MIB_WUR lab at @WUR campus and live in wonderful Wageningen, stay tuned here! Feel free to notify potentially interested candidates.

[Thijs J. G. Ettema 🦠🔬🇳🇱🇸🇪🇪🇺 @Ettema_lab]

Ever wondered how bacterial pathogens evolved? In our latest work, we provide insight about how obligate host-associated Rickettsiales evolved from free-living relatives. See here: https://t.co/5o0j85NnVX. Great work by @maxemilschon @JoranMartijn @JulianVosseberg & @koestlste

[Kassiani Panagiotou @kassiani_panag]

Very happy to have given my first talk as a PhD student at the V PVC meeting! To many more to come 🥳

Currently @kassiani_panag and I are teaching a #metagenomics class @MIB_WUR
To get some bonus points they can summarize their weekly learning outcomes in a meme.
Week 1 was characterised by being overwhelmed with using the commandline for the first time 😅
