I wanted to share my perspective/review article regarding epigenetics research in evolutionary biology. I had a lot of fun thinking about where the field is and where we are going. I hope you enjoy! academic.oup.com/mbe/article/41…

🚨Preprint alert v.2🚨🤩 I am super excited to share the preprint of another of my PhD chapters in #Zymoseptoria on BioRxiv: "Interspecies hybridization as a route of accessory chromosome origin in fungal species infecting wild grasses"🧵👇(1/8) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

My group is recruiting a postdoc to study how environmental interactions shape the virulence of human fungal pathogens. Please RT! #postdocjobs #academicjobs #microbiologyjobs

Does the aggregation of complex multicellularity follow a universal developmental pattern across the eukaryotic tree of life? Thrilled to announce that we found a convergently evolved transcriptomic hourglass pattern in brown algal development. nature 👉nature.com/articles/s4158…

I am super happy my first first-author paper is out (nature.com/articles/s4158…)! There’s even a thoughtful “news and views” along with it (nature.com/articles/d4158…). Here is my summary of our work in 20 tweets:

What are the immediate consequences of genome doubling on chromatin accessibility & transcription, and how do these change over evolution? Read our latest paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution to find out! Big shoutout to co-authors Kirsten Bomblies and Adrián Gonzalo ✨ [1/6] academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar…

The department of Chromosome Biology of the Max planck MPIPZ Cologne is looking for a new group leader. Join us, with Polina Yu. Novikova André Marques Schneeberger lab We are very open minded concerning the project, it just needs to be exciting. jobs.mpipz.mpg.de/jobposting/869…

Our work on evolution and functional divergence of DNA methyltransferases is out ⁦Science Advances⁩. Kudos to ⁦Jianjun Jiang⁩. We revealed how two closely related CMTs evolve and coordinately shape the non-CG methylation landscapes in plants. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

It is out: "Analyses of transposable elements in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi support evolutionary parallels with filamentous plant pathogens" Nicolas Corradi Ken_Mugambi biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
