May trails on the way to the final Applied Statistics lecture of the semester!

Had a brilliant time at the 54th Jírovec’s Protozoological Days in Frymburk. Amazing organisms, amazing science, lots of exciting organelle work. Beautiful setting too! Thanks to all chromera.org/konference/54t…

Protein complex, the retromer, promotes recycling/disposal of damaged mitochondrial DNA 📷 Parisa Kakanj & Mari Bonse et al David Pla-Martín lab University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany in Science Advances ➡️ bpod.org.uk/archive/2025/5… with Ruth Williams

Thanks for posting! In this preprint we took a modelling look at a debated question: what cellular conditions (physical arrangement and dynamics of mitochondria, arrangement of energy sinks) are required to support substantial gradients of ATP in a single cell's cytosol.

We are recruiting a postdoc to study mtDNA maintenance. Apply before the 3rd of June!!! jobs.ac.uk/job/DMZ177/res…

In some species across kingdoms, mitochondria have lost all sorts of functions: from specific complexes to the ability to produce ATP (and more!). We took a look at the evolutionary pathways of this reduction, from yeast and mistletoe to parasite "MROs": biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Just ghastly conditions for a recent meeting, hearing about exciting interdisciplinary approaches to combat AMR camria.w.uib.no/hyperevol/ (including mathematical ones arxiv.org/abs/2411.00219 arxiv.org/abs/2502.05872 !)

Two new postdoc positions in Computational/Statistical Genomics and Statistical Population Genetics, respectively, at the University of Copenhagen: employment.ku.dk/all-vacancies/… employment.ku.dk/all-vacancies/… . Please help us advertise.

Gratulerer med dagen alle sammen! (non-Norway-based folks, happy Norwegian Constitution Day!)

Newly out in mBio -- learning how AMR features evolve and interact, with evolutionary accumulation modelling (EvAM)! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb… Image shows inferred pathways through the "transition network" between different drug resistant states in TB (susceptible -> panresistant)

An emerging class of machine learning methods (EvAM) can help learn and predict the pathways by which multidrug resistance evolves in pathogens. Iain Johnston @JessiRenz68 Kazeem Dauda Olav Aga Iren Høyland Löhr #mBio #AMR #bioinformatics doi.org/10.1128/mbio.0…

CHEF'S KISS doesn't even begin to capture how perfect it is that @nature limits comments on this post to accounts it follows. It's literally the definition of perfect.

Bidding a fond farewell to EvoConBiO today, the ERC project that's been with us for nearly 6 years! Lots of fun working on this, and particularly with some really excellent and inspirational colleagues. Some results below, many more still to come. Thanks European Research Council (ERC) and Universitetet i Bergen !

Preliminary program now available for ProbGen 2026: probgen2026.github.io. We have an amazing set of speakers let by our keynotes Sally Otto and Jonathan Pritchard. 1/8

Mountain run to celebrate grant success! MitoPhyto, a FRIPRO project, will combine modelling and microscopy to explore mitochondrial and mtDNA maintenance across non-bilaterian multicellular eukaryotes. 2 PhD positions (maths/expt) will be announced ASAP forskningsradet.no/nyheter/2025/t…

Our new preprint is out on bioRxiv! Live gametes deep inside reproductive tissues of an angiosperm, liverwort, and fern can now be visualized—just with fluorescent staining! 🌱🔬 doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…
