High quality genome assembly and annotation (v1) of the eukaryotic terrestrial microalga Coccomyxa viridis SAG 216-4 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_genomic

Using a combination of PacBio Hifi, Oxford Nanopore and HiC sequencing Anton Kraege and Edgar Chavarro managed to produce a high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly.

Our review "Co-evolution within the plant holobiont drives host performance" is now published EMBO Reports (#openaccess)! Thanks Team Thomma @teamthomma.bsky.social for the help, support and precious discussions, and thanks Stéphane Hacquard for the constructive criticism! doi.org/10.15252/embr.…

🚨🧪🌾Please retweet: Our recently established group "Adaptive evolution of filamentous plant pathogens" at the Max Planck Institute for Biology is looking for a PhD candidate! Please check out our website for more information: bio.mpg.de/langner

My last week working in this beautiful group Team Thomma @teamthomma.bsky.social, and one last Oxford Nanopore run now doing some Pore-C! Natalie Schmitz Anton Kraege was a pleasure!

I am hiring a PhD Student! 📍 **Location**: Institute for Plant Sciences, Cologne Biocenter, University of Cologne Are you curious about how plants 🌱 handle human toxic proteins that tend to aggregate🧠?

📣 First on bioRxiv >> 📰now published in PLOS Pathogens! Congratulations Edgar Chavarro et al. 🪇 journals.plos.org/plospathogens/… Michael F Seidl Wilko Punt Nick Snelders Anton Kraege David T

Fantastic plenary presentation at #Fungal24 by Yukiyo Sato as chairs choice on how the fungus #Verticillium adapts to environmental changes through large-scale genomic rearrangements. What a great performance! 🥳 #ProudPI

Team Thomma at #Fungal24: check out tonight’s posters by Yukiyo Sato (433A) & Chen–Yu Kuan (419A). On Friday: Gabriella Petti (544C), Anton Kraege (749C) & Andrea Doddi (725C).

First speaker in our #Fungal24 session “Fungi in microbial ecosystems” is Anton Kraege on the role of antimicrobials in fungal niche establishment

Very cool story on fungal antimicrobials Anton Kraege 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 #Fungal24

Yukiyo Sato chen-yu Kuan Busy poster night for Anton Kraege Andrea Doddi and Gabriella #Fungal24

Past and present Team Thomma @teamthomma.bsky.social present ar #Fungal24 in Asilomar

“Worms exploded (%)” was not a Y-axis label I was expecting to see at #Fungal24 Yen-Ping Hsueh!

Had a blast at #Fungal24 over the last days with Andrea Doddi Team Thomma @teamthomma.bsky.social @ErikaKroll_ chen-yu Kuan and so many more old and new friends! ✨ Additionally I became a Jr. Ranger today ✨ living the best life 😎

Key lessons from my trip to California: Starships are everywhere 🚀, CHEF gels are trendy (again) 🕶 and if a mountain lion attacks, fight back! 🐆Thanks for the valuable chats on and off the #Fungal24 conference site - can't wait to be back in two years!

Having a great time in Heidelberg at the "Plant macro- and microbiota" workshop EMBL @COSHeidelberg I will be presenting about the evolution of fungal effectors with antimicrobial activity at 10.30

… followed by a great talk by my Team Thomma @teamthomma.bsky.social colleague Gabriella Petti, about mode-of-action of an effector with antimicrobial activity!

In our new issue of #CEPLASkompakt Jinyi Zhu Jinyi Zhu from Universität zu Köln Team Thomma @teamthomma.bsky.social gives us insights into his work on the exciting interplay between fungi, bacteria and plants! #scicomm #wisskomm
