Great work! It is about time we stop treating prokaryotes as strictly haploid/monoploid.

[Mario Santer @MarioSanter]

New preprint on the population genetics of polyploid prokaryotes! Many prokaryotes carry polyploid chromosomes or multicopy plasmids. In collaboration with @annecmg, @DaganLab, @HildegardUecker, we present a population genetics model for multicopy replicons in prokaryotes. 1/5

The most consistent, and cooperative effort in Europe during the pandemic: RACISM.

Racism towards Chinese in 2019, towards Indians in 2020, towards Africans in 2021.

It's time we take hard fuc*ing look at our reactions, and the consequences of ignoring scientists from LMICs

An outer membrane porin engineered to target protein amyloids with bacterial cells. A first step towards prion biosensing and bioremediation?
Thanks to my former trainees @Sol_uble, P. Lozano, P. Cuadros & M. Tejero! 👏

When making chemically or electro-competent cells, you don't have to wash them 3 times as most protocols state. Twice is more than enough. And you don't need to centrifuge cells for more than 4 minutes to pellet them.

If you are interested in the intersection of metabolic engineering and cell-to-cell heterogeneity, you may enjoy our new preprint. Collaboration with @JXChengLab and Wilson Wong @BostonU_BME: https://t.co/e45kye8HVX

@thvanboeckel @ETH_en This is a tweet with smell 🤣

@burcutepekule That's the charm of luck, everything is stochastic 😂

SNSF uses lottery as tiebreaker to award grants, in order to eliminate bias in funding process. "Good luck with your applications"! 😄 https://t.co/GXJugvm6zS
