Sweet and fatty symbionts: Photosynthetic productivity and carbon storage boosted in microalgae within a host | PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #protistsonsky

Check out our new paper where we doubbling the known diversity of Developea (Stramenopiles) with 8 new species and 2 new genera. Some have multiflagellated stages and self-aggregations! Some are omnivorous (i.e. survive on either eukaryotic or prokaryotic prey)! authors.elsevier.com/a/1nFMW56A9x...

I'm reposting this because I want to make a correction. In the thread below I mention using the -mset flag for testing site profile mixture models. But in fact you should use -madd flag. I'm sorry for this mistake.

In a study led by @choannaflagellate.bsky.social and @evocellbio.bsky.social using samples from a local mudflat in Maine, we found evidence of a new lineage of #protistsonsky that helps fill in gaps in our understanding of breviate (+Obozoa) mitochondrial evolution. www.bigelow.org/news/article...

One more week to apply to this PhD position on working out an endosymbiosis relationship in a protist. Please share widely to prospective PhD student #protistsonsky

Come join us! Soon I will be advertising a postdoc vacancy in my group as part of my @erc.europa.eu AdG project 'DARK ROOTS'. Focus of the project will be on phylo- and metagenomic mining of novel prokaryotic lineages. I will soon post a link here - stay tuned, and please repost! #asgardarchaea
