I’m excited to share this @USDA_ARS post-doc opportunity in Ithaca, New York. The fellow will join my lab and the @BushleyKathryn lab to broadly investigate insect killing fungi via comparative genomics. Please consider applying and share widely! 🍄 🧬 💻 https://t.co/yVWp2ohC4v

@SarahMackAttack Dr. Mac Sara, Professor Squidman, lots of potential alter egos

@SarahMackAttack You’re 100 times cooler than the squid guy ever could be

@Amelia_Lindsey Yeah. The polyploids figure it out somehow. I wonder what the 3D organization of some of those paralogues are. HiC everything.

[David Showalter @showalterdn]

@Amelia_Lindsey @r_racicot They talk about challenges for transcription profiling. Uh, yeah, I’d say.

[David Showalter @showalterdn]

@Amelia_Lindsey @r_racicot Whatttt?!

[David Showalter @showalterdn]

@Amelia_Lindsey @r_racicot And of course weird Wolbachia

@Amelia_Lindsey Grasshoppers are doing some crazy stuff https://t.co/86D6G1WdGn
As are axolotls https://t.co/M5a4gUtMxh
And yes, fungi are odd. Sometimes GC content is a better measure because of repeat induced point mutation (RIP) genome defense https://t.co/IqvFcC1M4W

@mycomile @UWMadison Oh man! What a great fit. Congratulations, and I can’t wait to see what you get into.

@CaseyKulla So. Much. Camas.

In our study published today in @ScienceMagazine, we provide a proof of concept for the potential use of ancient microbes as a source for developing new drugs by synthesising previously unknown metabolites from reconstructed gene clusters. https://t.co/c7T7rYe9NX
