SAVE THE DATE! On Sept 4th 2023 the NLSEB Junior Board organises the 2nd lab rotation event for PhDs and Postdocs of evolutionary biology, hosted by Amsterdam Institute for Life and Environment in Amsterdam.

Bastiaan von Meijenfeldt kicks off the symposium organised around his PhD defence. His thesis, entitled Surprising biology in uncharted microbial sequences, includes broad and insightful metagenomics work, together with @BEDutilh. Great day ahead full of interesting discussions!

I've been honing my #blender skills with our symposium design 😋😸 Consider joining if you're interested in collective behaviour! We have great speakers 🩵💙💚

New paper by @BastiaanPotter @max_raas Michael F Seidl Peter Verruijzer and Berend Snel, on the evolutionary history of the Polycomb complexes. Now out in @Commsbio! Faculty of Science, Utrecht University Hubrecht Institute Bioinformatics

Ever wondered how eukaryotic cells got their nucleus? Check out this new hypothesis paper in which Anja Spang and I explain our idea - building on the inside-out model of eukaryogenesis: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mm…

Last chance to apply to join us at the LMB for a PhD to explore the archaeal origins of eukaryotes: www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/students/inter…

Slowly getting used to my new title… Thanks Theoretical Biology & Bioinformatics @ UU. Looking forward to more evolutionary biology at the Louis group in Oxford.

Save the date! The NLSEB meeting 2024 #NLSEB2024 will take place on April 22nd and 23rd! We are putting together a very special program! Stay tuned for more information about the registration and abstract submission. More info soon at nlseb.nl

I am very proud to share my first ever fully published paper on the importance of chromosomal rearrangements for genome evolution ! Thanks to the whole team for their work 🤗 Available for free in Molecular Ecology : onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

Check out this new paper by Bram van Eijnatten, Basten Snoek and collaborators Wageningen U&R, on the effect of developmental age variation on eQTL mapping studies. Now out in G3 Genetics Society of America! doi.org/10.1093/g3jour…

The ‘nuclear origin’ paper is now available for all to read! Please share. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Bas van den Herik @BasvdHerik kicks off the day of his PhD defence with a beautiful talk on modelling plant physiology and potato formation. Exciting symposium and defence ahead! Faculty of Science, Utrecht University Bioinformatics

Im so happy to share this part of my PhD thesis just right now in ⁦Nature Communications⁩. Check it out! Implications of the 3D chromatin organization for genome evolution in a fungal plant pathogen Special thanks to ⁦Michael F Seidl⁩ and ⁦Team Thomma @teamthomma.bsky.social⁩ nature.com/articles/s4146…

The last chapter of my PhD is out now!😀 #PLOSCompBio: Intracellular signaling in proto-eukaryotes evolves to alleviate regulatory conflicts of endosy ... dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

Surinamese Brian Blue has a conviction for #cocaine smuggling in Brazil, a Europol Red Notice, and has shown up in multiple police investigations in different countries in the past decades. In Suriname, no one is looking for him. Read my latest here👇insightcrime.org/news/surinames…

🧬🔬 Nice dive into how #metagenomics & single-cell genomics are revolutionizing our understanding of the tree of life by @eme_laura & Daniel Tamarit 🧬 #MicrobialDiversity #genomics #singlecell #biodiversity #protists

Always a very special day to receive the final product of a PhD trajectory. Congratulations xin really looking forward to your defense! Theoretical Biology & Bioinformatics @ UU Westerdijk Institute

This week, # Panorama magazine published a story on its front cover based on an investigation I wrote as if it were its own, without any attribution. So what happened? a thread🧵

Many novel Asgard genomes, cultivated Lokiarchaeia, new phylogenetic analyses: what insights do these and other recent studies provide into the enigmatic origin of eukaryotes? In this review in nature , we discuss the latest findings and open questions: nature.com/articles/s4158…
