The AleRax paper with @AlexisCompBio, Tom Williams (tweethinking.bsky.social) and Benoit Morel leading is now out in Bioinformatics! academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…

Proud to see my latest research published! With help from Rika, Eva & Juntao we traced the evolution of phosphorus uptake enzymes to see how ancient microbes sourced the nutrients they needed to grow billions of yrs ago, when days were shorter & the Moon looked larger in the sky

Our oral microbiome evolution from ancient DNA data review is out! Led by @GDahlquistAxe and Francesca Standeven with Andrew Tedder and Camilla Speller, published in MGEN Microbiology Society and of interest to SPAAM-community and others in microbiome evolution or aDNA. microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

DECODING GENOMES - from sequences to phylodynamics: We are proud to present our book on how to analyse genomic sequences with an evolutionary perspective. See decodinggenomes.org for a free pdf, Amazon links for print orders, and further information. Great team effort 1/2

Happy to share our preprint about the evolution of Glycolysis and TCA cycle, demonstrating that eukaryotic metabolism also have archaeal origins and underwent a highly dynamic evolution. Special thanks to Anja Spang and Berend Snel for promoting this interesting project! Anja Spang (she/her)

Delighted to see the work from my postdoc at University of Bristol on algal evolution on ice and land out in New Phytologist Tom Williams (tweethinking.bsky.social) | Phil Donoghue | Doug Campbell | MicroLab@Bristol @Bristol_Glac | UoB Palaeobiology nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np… 1/6

In our new paper at Cell (Cell), we reveal secrets of how the third form of life, archaea, make energy. We uncover new lineages of hydrogen-using enzymes, both minimal and complex. These help archaea thrive in all sorts of extreme environments. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Very happy to have been part of this project!

Plants growing in extreme conditions – like algae on ice – can provide insights into the evolution of alternative solutions to old problems, like responses to UV stress. An excellent Commentary by Cäcilia F. Kunz et al. on recent work by Bowles et al.: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Can free-living eukaryotes exist without mitochondria? In a new paper from my group led by Shelby, we show that the answer is probably yes! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Happy to share a chapter of my PhD thesis🐣! We review the diversity of the cell envelope in Terrabacteria which tell us a lot about outer membrane biogenesis and the diderm-to-monoderm transition. Thanks to my co-authors Najwa Taib @ChrisBel70 Simonetta Gribaldo nature.com/articles/s4157…

biorxiv.org/content/10.110… This looks interesting --- a meaty paper on a difficult question. Congratulations to all the authors!

Many novel Asgard genomes, cultivated Lokiarchaeia, new phylogenetic analyses: what insights do these and other recent studies provide into the enigmatic origin of eukaryotes? In this review in nature , we discuss the latest findings and open questions: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our latest preprint: Sriram Garg calculate a general substitution matrix for structural phylogenetics and used it to root the tree of life. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

Microbial #eukaryotes have a fascinating evolutionary history and are our windows to learning about early eukaryotic life. 👇 First peek into our #preprint on the #transcriptome of a free-living relative of trichomonas and analysis of how/if they differ! Tinyurl.com/pkeilini
