Our latest preprint of the year: We have reconstructed near-complete Lokiarchaeota genomes using long and short read hybrid metagenomic data from complex environmental samples. Final thesis chapter from Eva Caceres mus musculus! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Serving up genome inferred metabolism with DRAM -Distilled and Refined Annotation of Metabolism- take a sip! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… HUGE thanks to our collaborators Simon Roux @Sullivan_Lab Phil b. Pope and more- this is a community resource and contributions are encouraged!

PSA because I feel some people need to hear this: Yes, international students bring diversity, knowledge and advancement to the US economy, but their existence and their right to stay is not just rooted in that. They are people, and should not be viewed as marketable "products".

We are hiring! The Wrighton Lab is looking for a post-doc as part of the EMERGE project to use multi-omic data to understand microbial interactions in permafrost. For more information, check out: wrightonlab.com/opportunities/. Please RT!

Congratulations to Mikayla A. Borton on your PhD defense! Thank you for all that you have done for our lab--training new students, pushing our science, being an awesome co-author, and always being down for a potluck or happy hour!
