1/46 Hey folks, we have a new paper out on the MuLTEE. Strap in and I’ll tell you the story of how this “little paper on polyploidy” turned into the most data rich paper our lab has produced, largely thanks to the leadership and work ethic of @kaitong25.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It wasnt easy for #phylosymbiosis to get off the ground, but it is now. Here is the first study to suggest that phytoplankton have phylosymbiotic microbiomes. On a personal note, it’s fulfilling to watch the term, the concepts, and approaches broadly take flight. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I'm so happy that I can finally share the results of my first postdoc paper with @baym.lol!!! Turns out plasmids are an amazing system to study multi-scale evolution and we can track within-cell and between-cell dynamics! (1/n) www.biorxiv.org/content/earl...

How do organelles fit together inside a crowded cell? Answering this question requires a way to image many organelles in a whole cell at high resolution with high throughput. Our new preprint shows how to do this in yeast using soft x-ray tomography www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We did a science! Here we discussed similarities and differences in how adaptive radiations happen in bacteria as compared to animals and plants. We posit that adaptive radiations in bacteria can be kickstarted by horizontally acquired key innovations which allows lineages to invade new niches...

I know I am late to the party, but I like this hypothesis. Evolution (of multicellularity) as a side effect of (genome) evolution, itself a "neutral" side effect of other cellular processes, reminds me of Paulien Hogeweg's multilevel evolution theory. For example: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16840361/
