🚨New paper out! 🚨
The apicoplast is an essential plastid retaining many crucial metabolic pathways 🦠🏭 However, bypassing all of them makes the apicoplast dispensable!

So proud to see our MATEdb2 paper beautifully led by @Gemmaeling highlighted in the cover of @GenomeBiolEvol! If you're interested in animal phylogenomics, don't miss this handy resource. More details here 👇 @metazomics @IBE_Barcelona

[Luis Javier Galindo @Luisjagago]

We sequenced a bunch of understudied flagellates including apusomonads, ancyromonads and one Meteora strain. Here is our version of the eukaryotic tree including them. Our study is finally out in @CurrentBiology 👇

@e_hehenberger @ERC_Research Omg yesss Lilly!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 amazing news! So proud of you🥹

[Elisabeth Hehenberger @e_hehenberger]

I'm extremely honoured and grateful to have received an @ERC_Research Consolidator grant. So many people have supported this effort, from my wonderful lab and colleges to the reviewers and panel members - thank you everyone! Very excited to start this project! #ERCCoG

Excited for all the good things to come in the Holt Lab! Congrats @gutmicrobiome 🥂🥳

[Corey Holt @gutmicrobiome]

Very excited to share that, come January, I will be joining the faculty at @UniofBath as a Lecturer/Assistant Prof! We’ll be studying all things microbiomes, harmful & beneficial host-microbe interactions, and protist diversity & evolution https://t.co/gtisEbCPJ6 for updates! 😁

Happy to share our last publication to evaluate
the diversity and ecology of the (mostly) uncultured MAST clades, an eclectic collection of very small unpigmented protists.

Brown algae (one of the 'big 5' lineages of complex MC) display a 'developmental hourglass' of gene expression. Animals, plants and fungi have independently evolved this developmental pattern, suggesting it is a general feature of complex MC.

So great to be in Heidelberg this weekend for the @EMBO Fellows Meeting 2024! @EMBOFellows

[Varsha Mathur @varsh_mathur]

Loved this interview. So inspirational Virginie, loved your outlook on having a co-PI team, being a woman in science and good mentorship! @CentrioleLab

@VernCarruthers and I had a great time writing this review pondering the versatility of key adaptations common to #apicomplexans, #dinoflagellates and other myzozoans that have made this group so prolific and successful. (1/3)
