mobile genetic elements within mobile genetic elements ? 🤯 congrats to Luis E. Valentín-Alvarado et al on this exciting set of findings in a novel lineage of asgardarchaea

Novel cell-to-cell interactions revealed by cryotomography of a DPANN coculture system biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_micrbio

really worth consideration for microbial ecologists looking to bring new dimensions to their work through modeling, plus a fabulous group and location!

Codon bias, nucleotide selection, and genome size predict in situ bacterial growth rate and transcription in rewetted soil biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_micrbio

this out today from @NestorArandia + the rest of us in Anne Dekas lab exploring the role of urea in the interconnected deep sea nitrogen and carbon cycles! a fun opportunity to consider how best to merge single-cell (nanosims) and bulk community (metagenomics) analyses.

3rd chapter of my dissertation finally published in Nature Communications! We reconstructed the first complete Asgard archaeal genomes from short reads, validated with long reads. Genome structures & metabolic insights reveal key roles in carbon/hydrogen cycling in wetlands.

In Taga Lab Zoila, Zachary Hallberg, and I dove into studying the impact of nutrients like Vitamin B12 (corrinoids) on community-wide & isolate-specific scales. How often do you see paired studies like these?! Our sibling papers are out now in The ISME Journal! academic.oup.com/ismej/article/…

a nice survey of chemoautotrophy in extreme environments (here, cold) + an elegant biochemical modeling approach for rubisco led by Kaitlin Harrison Young Algae

Making science accessible has its challenges but is worth tackling, especially when it comes to including more deaf scientists in the scientific enterprise. Read the article: asm.social/23F
