And the second part of our two-part preprint bonanza- Jacob West-Roberts, PhD (your esteemed banfield lab twitter admin) and the giant proteins! Click through for some beautiful alphafold-predicted protein structures from the biggest (predicted) proteins you've ever seen.

I'm thrilled to present the research I've been working on for the last few years in preprint format. We've found giant genes (>30,000 amino acids!!) across domain bacteria, but concentrated in the candidate phylum Omnitrophota. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Methane-oxidizing Methanoperedens archaea surprisingly host a constellation of Borgs, mini-Borgs, viruses, plasmids, and other mysterious extrachromosomal elements!

Wonder what they are doing? Check our preprints here:

Here The Banfield Lab used sequencing to study 'the nature and existence of enigmatic genetic elements' (Borgs) in soil. They assembled 7 new curated Borg genomes, revealing extensive DNA methylation that differentiates them from their host archaea, Methanoperedens. 🧵1/2
