🦠🧬New paper🧬🦠
A family of ICEs infiltrated the P. syringae species complex! PsICEs are highly recombinogenic but conserve backbone genes punctuated by diverse cargo genes. The most common one? A transposon able to manipulate bacterial metabolism.

This is a very cool piece of work from @gallie_jenna et al Large-scale duplication events underpin population-level flexibility in tRNA gene copy number in Pseudomonas fluorescens academic.oup.com/nar/advance… – at Scotland, United Kingdom

Building a solid research profile takes time. We want to support exactly that in #theoreticalbiology and offer *two* long-term postdoc positions. Details and application procedure is here tecoevo.github.io/positions/ – at Würzburg, Germany

We have a 2-year postdoc fellowship available in the Lind Lab at Umeå University, Sweden! Predicting and guiding experimental evolution of antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. RTs appreciated. euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/1…

Peer-reviewed version in @NatureComms of our (@yashraj_chavhan @SutirthDey)
paper on experimental evolution of bacterial multicellularity by genetic assimilation of phenotypically plastic cell clustering nature.com/articles/s41467-0… Don't miss the new supplementary movies!

Lovely to see our study out in mBio! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128… The short read : don't assume higher antibiotic resistance causes higher fitness in bacteria selected with sub-inhibitory antibiotics. With wonderful colleagues @diepesce @SumanGDas @Mark_P_Zwart and Arjan de Visser!

See our final lineup for Phage Bites symposium!
Six talks from PhDs/ECRS followed by an expert discussion on synthetic biology to create therapeutic phage! Still time to register

Frederic Bertels @fredeBio and collaborators from @MPI_EvolBio have a recommended #preprint in @PeerCommunityIn: RAREFAN: A webservice to identify REPINs and RAYTs in bacterial genomes doi.org/10.1101/2022.05.22.4…

We have a new preprint with @andydfarr and @RaineyLab. If you are interested in barcoding a microbial species, have a look at our adventure to barcode P.fluorescens SBW25. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

With the lab up and running, I'm looking for Ph.D. & Master's students for '23, and a postdoc or postbac to start anytime. Find more info on my website! 3/3

Our paper on the evolution of gene regulation was published today bitly.ws/td4G. Years of hard work and hard thinking by @m_vlkova. I really like this paper. (1/8)

Please RT: An inter-institutional Postdoctoral Position is available bridging between our lab @ZmbhH and @angifeldmann @DKFZ! We're looking for candidates interested in dissecting the molecular mechanisms of gene activation combining wet- and dry-lab (#75).

Our #research on #evolution of recombination regulator PRDM9 in Minke Whales has just been published with @SpringerNature in BMCGenomics #meiosis #whales

How do the life cycles of microscopic species evolve? What makes some cells/colonies fragment into many pieces, while others divide in two? And what the mass conservation has to do with multicellularity evolution? I and @EvolTheoArne suggest an answer: pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pn…

Thrilled to see this hit the news stands, fruit of a massively fun collaboration with @GokhaleCS and @go_bayes . We argue for the prosocial effects of ancient stories, regardless of their apparent moral content nature.com/articles/s41599-0…
