Here you will find a great overview of genomic tools and their application on protists. Figure 3 is crazy interesting for everybody who wonders about what kinds of protist genomes are available, their sizes and why there aren't more. Take a look! Glad I could contribute :)

Glissomonads (Cercozoa, Rhizaria) are always in for a surprise! Saprotrophic, sucking up bacteria lysate. Axenic culture! #ProtistsOnSky

Big thanks to #OpenAI and #ChatGPT -not for helping me write my manuscript, but for clearly writing one of the reviewer's entire review!😂 Never thought I’d get peer-reviewed by a Large Language Model with imposter syndrome. Some recommendations are hilarious😅 #protists #ProtistsOnSky #nonamedropping

Evidence for #recombination, and maybe #meiosis, in free-living #Rhizaria! I wish the results were clearer. As so often we raised more questions than we could answer :) If you are into #sex and the #meiosis-toolkit, this is an important read! #ProtistsOnSky link.springer.com/article/10.1...

My good friend and former colleague Fionn Clissmann painted a testate #amoeba shell for my formerly very empty walls in my new office. Love it! Stunning colours! #ProtistsOnSky

Very proud to announce that my first (shared) doctoral student, Dr. Jule Freudenthal, finished her doctoral studies! 🎉 She did amazing work! I know my recent shift to a professorship is for certain parts due to her work. We both align very well which is why I am happy that she is now my postdoc :) 🎊

🧠🦠🚨 New preprint alert! We’ve built the first trait database for Amoebozoa, and showcase ecological insights and evolutionary patterns. If you're into protists, soil ecology, or functional biodiversity - this is for you! #ProtistsOnSky #MicroSky 🧵👇
