Metacaspases contribute to the cellular response to heat stress in a marine diatom Sadeh et al. @vardilab.bsky.social nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🌊Paper announcement! 📣 Viral infections rewire the metabolic makeup of their host and thereby create distinct chemical signatures. Can we use metabolic biomarkers to diagnose infections of algal blooms in the ocean? Well, take a look at our new article led by Conny Kuhlisch in @pnas.org >>

📣 We are excited to share our latest paper, led by @taliashaler.bsky.social! We explore the transcriptional basis of #microalgae resistance to #viral_infection and identified a core group of resistance-related genes. >> (1/3) #New_Phytologist #Marine_Biology #Viruses

📣Excited to share our latest review on using single-cell methods to study host-virus interactions in the ocean - led by Amir Fromm (@amirfromm.bsky.social) and Talia Shaler (x.com/ShalerTalia), in collaboration with Frank Aylward (@foaylward.genomic.social.ap.brid.gy) >>

📣A new preprint by Talia Shaler! 📣 How do populations develop resistance to viral infections? We mapped the transcriptomic landscape of algal resistance to lytic viral infection and identified a unique set of resistance-related genes expressed in those cells >> doi.org/10.1101/2025...

📣 We are excited to share our latest paper about Cathepsin X, a new algal cell death gene, led by @aviamizrachi.bsky.social and @maisadeh.bsky.social, published in Current Biology @currentbiology.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 1/3 >>
