Check out our newly-published review of Omics datasets in Strongyloides:
Are Strongyloides spp🪱the best model for studying parasitism? Definitely (in my humble opinion). How come? find out here ⬇️⬇️⬇️

A new study has found that it's key tropical crops like #coffee, #cocoa and #mango, that support millions of farmers in the Global South, that are most at risk from loss of #pollinators due to #climatechange and land use – read about it here:

New preprint from PhD work: a deep investigation into dynamics and drivers of evolution of succulent lineages. By far the biggest project I've undertaken, this was a great collab between @NPriestLab, @HdzHdz_Lab and @LabSpiritu, involving several awesome trips to Mexico 1/4

With the results published this year at @CepsJournal we show that, with activities that explore #sexualselection, #elementaryschoolstudents can learn about differential reproduction!
Paper at cepsj.si/index.php/cepsj/art…
On 2021 an @EuroScitizen team which I included showed that #elementaryschoolstudents can learn about #evolution by #naturalselection but rarely mention the concept of differential reproduction.

How can you predict xylose metabolism in yeasts based only on sequence data? For this trait, gene content alone isn't predictive, but codon optimization of these genes improves predictions.

#fungal #plantpathology community I am reaching out for a potential stay at your institute spring ‘24. I come fully funded but am struggling to find a lab/PI. Focus is Botrytis, UVC, tolerance, DNA repair. Plz retweet ✌️@AcademicChatter #phdchat

Here is the original thread: nitter.gq/DebrayReena/status/156…
Since posting the preprint, we also sequenced the genomes at the reviewers' suggestion. As expected from the phenotypic data – we found strong signatures of parallel evolution in genes implicated in plant colonization.

It feels a little surreal but my first paper is finally published! frontiersin.org/articles/10.… with amazing collaborators from across @UniofBath, @UKHSA and Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, we investigated cationic biocide tolerance in Proteus mirabilis (1/11) 🧵
