Thanks for posting @reviewcommons.org If you're interested you can also find the reviewed version here: doi.org/10.7554/eLif... Really keen to get people's perspectives on the population genetics of reservoirs, and what they tell us about variation associated with emergent crop pathogens.

📃 A new publication from @mcmullan0.bsky.social and the Hall Group studies pathogen genetic diversity to uncover how #crop #pathogens may be evolving in wild reservoirs. 🌱 buff.ly/I17w6p8 @neilhall.bsky.social

For a quick summary check out the @earlhaminst.bsky.social news piece about the paper 👇 www.earlham.ac.uk/news/starshi...

Our recent paper is out where we propose kmer-based phylogenetics for fungal Starship TEs (which are unalignable as highly variable). We think it could help with spotting bonafide HGT events (and suggest direction of transfer?) doi.org/10.1093/g3jo... @mcmullan0.bsky.social @norwichmicro.bsky.social

www.earlham.ac.uk/studentship/... Studentship opportunity in the Hall group for a host-pathogen environmental genetic surveillance project working alongside the BBRO and here at the @Earlham Institute! Have a look and share with those you think might be interested!

My paper is finally published! If you are struggling with attaining high molecular weight gDNA from fungal tissues maybe this will help you out. Thank you to our comms team at @earlhaminst.bsky.social for helping to put this together. Thank you to the co-authors for their contribution!

Gaeumannomyces tritici, the culprit behind the wheat disease take-all, has had its genome mapped! Dr. Hill and team have sequenced 9 near-chromosome level genomes of this species, along with potential antagonist species G. hyphopodioides and G. avenae (oat take-all). #starships #transposableelements

This would be pretty cool and it’s in one of the cool groups here at the Earlham!

Hi all!!! 👋 New to Bluesky, but... I'm hiring a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at The Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg... www.verwaltung.uni-halle.de/dezern3/Auss... Please repost if you can!! Thank you!!!

Registration & abstract submission is now open for #EISingleCell25! Join us in June to hear from leading experts, explore innovative applications, and network with peers across the #singlecell and #spatial #genomics field. 🧪

Applications close 20 January for a #postdoc to join Prof Irene Papatheodorou on a collaborative project as part of the #GutCellAtlas programme. At the Earlham Institute, you'll join an active community of experimental and computational biologists working on a wide range of #cellular #genomics.

Thanks. Do get in touch if you're at #PAG32 and you'd like to chat about host pathogen co-evolution, fungi, crop genetic reservoirs, and wild crop relatives.

After 24 years of work, I’m thrilled to announce the TYMEFLIES dataset, which comprises metagenomes from Lake Mendota (Madison, WI), collected roughly every 10 days (471 samples) for 20 years! @quendi.bsky.social @robinrohwer.bsky.social rdcu.be/d5put A thread…

The censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife biology & advocacy group ? So we moved 😇 over here to BlueSky If you could, please help us regain our following Follow Retweet and Repeat ;-) Together we can change the world.
