Easter edition of #Mitochondria in #Health and #Disease! 🐰🐣 biomed.news/bims-mitdis/... @gavinmcstay.bsky.social @mitoscientist.bsky.social @biomednews.bsky.social @mitoscientists.bsky.social Perling drives mtDNA nucleoid distribution www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Our paper is now out in Science! Super excited to share our discovery that #mitochondria #pearling is the elusive mechanism driving the regular distribution and inheritance of #mtDNA nucleoids 🧬 [1/6]

1/🧵 Major milestone unlocked for mycology! 🍄 We just published a massive genomic resource in 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚, releasing 2,695 complete circular mitochondrial species assembled from public data This single dataset nearly 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐒 📈the known mitochondrial diversity of the Kingdom Fungi rdcu.be/eYZ2h

#MeetTheLab @msabrysarhan.bsky.social works on his postdoc (joint w/ #EURAC) on ancient diet & microbiomes. How to overcome failure in science? I like a lot what Robert Frost said: "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."

Always a very nice milestone: @ammarabdalrahem.bsky.social has printed his PhD thesis on reproductive mode polymorphism in the #poplar #rust #fungus. Congratulations Ammar 👏👏👏

Just got back from an amazing week at @isba11.bsky.social in Torino! Still can't believe I won the Future Fellows Prize for the best talk - what a highlight! But honestly, the best part was connecting with other Egyptian researchers in the bioarchaeology and aDNA world. @isbarchaeology.bsky.social

From one great ISBA team to the next — thank you to our past organizers for building such a strong and connected community!

And that’s a wrap! Congratulations to the entire ISBA community for a successful ISBA11!

What a week! 🎉 Big thanks to @isba11.bsky.social for hosting an incredible ISBA conference — so well organized and full of great science.

Toda a equipe da Al Jazeera em Gaza foi morta por ataque israelense direcionado contra uma tenda de jornalistas diante do hospital Al-Shifa. Entre os mortos está Anas al-Sharif, que aparece abaixo em encontro com a filha em março

Anas Al-Sharif was one of the most remarkable reporters of his generation. For 673 days, he defied Israeli threats to kill him. Al Jazeera now confirm their crew in Gaza City have all been assassinated: RIP reporters Anas Al-Sharif & Mohammed Qareqea and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher & Mohammed Nofal

Breaking News: Israeli troops killed more than 60 Palestinians after crowds gathered near a border crossing where aid trucks enter, Gaza officials said.

🆕 Systematic mediation & interaction analyses of kidney function genetic loci in a general population study. Finally out @dariushghasemi.bsky.social work on the value of a single population study to assess loci from global #GWAS consortia 👏 #SLC34A1 #SHROOM3 #STC1 journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

🥁 NEW: Commentary in @cellcellpress.bsky.social! by @msabrysarhan.bsky.social Giacomo Antonello @whansi.bsky.social @cengoni.bsky.social @dmascalzoni.bsky.social @leviwaldron1.bsky.social Nicola Segata, Christian Fuchsberger www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 1/4

Exciting news! Our commentary is finally out, cudos to the team at EURAC (BZ) and CIBIO (TN) 👏 Human mitochondrial DNA in public metagenomes: Opportunity or privacy threat? www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

The final chapter of my PhD thesis is finally out! Led by the brilliant Irina Velsko, we investigated if we can study past migrations in Oceania using #aDNA from archaeological dental calculus: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I feel like this card is attacking me 😭 🧪

What happens to the #genome of #bacteria as their association with the host becomes ever more intimate?🧪🦠 A lot: Expansion, pseudogenization and shrinkage, driven by reduction of phage pressure New by Stefanos Siozios, Greg Hurst &co #evolution #genomics #microbiology www.cell.com/current-biol...

Excited to share our last work on microbiome transmission and social interactions published on Nature! The more people you interact with, the more similar your microbiome is. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
