Nature research paper: Rare microbial relict sheds light on an ancient eukaryotic supergroup go.nature.com/486YtjW

Out today: New nucleus-encoded component of the endosymbiont division machinery identified in the trypanosomatid Angomonas deanei. Congrats @anaymaurya.bsky.social and @rudycadenabioevo.bsky.social!!!🎉🎉🎉 1/2 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Mitochondria finally made the headlines, yay! Oh wait, ... oh no ....

New paper is out! We have studied the cute tiny Discocelia plataet sp. n. to obtain the first molecular data of the order Discocelida and clarify its cell structure. All this for a better understanding of the evolution of Cercozoa. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

The first paper from my PhD is out now! doi.org/10.1111/jeu.... We describe a new photosynthetic #Paulinella species from a brackish beach in British Columbia 🇨🇦 Big thanks to the co-authors Maia Palka and @alive-in-the-ocean.bsky.social, and my supervisor @fburki.bsky.social #protistsonsky

New #ISEPpapers! Eukaryote-Wide Distribution of a Family of Longin Domain-Containing GAP Complexes for Small GTPases onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... by Anna Novák Vanclová et al., @dackslabecb.bsky.social #Protists #Microbes #Archaea #Eukaryogenesis #Evolution #Eukaryotes

Promethea = PROvora + MEteora + HEmimastigophora. The new supergroup, unifying previously “orphan” lineages with gene-rich mitogenomes. Position of #telonemids is still uncertain. #protistsonsky tinyurl.com/yk9xkt49

Honored to have presented our work on spatial proteomics and selected for one of the best student presentation awards in this year’s ICOP/ISOP 2025 conference in Seoul! Amazing talks from protistologist from all branches of life 😉 Hope to see you guys next year in Prague! #protistonsky

Happy to have contributed to this great article: #Protist genomics: key to understanding eukaryotic evolution. Congrats Alexandra Schoenle et al. #ProtistsOnSky authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Anyone by any chance have the OligoArrayAux program as a windows ZIP file laying around and willing to share? Needed to run on DECIPHER. All UNAFold websites are defunct and no mirrors exist 😕 #ProtistsOnSky
