Long in the making...Jeremy Draghi, Paul Turner @paulturnerlab, and I tackle the mystery of why generalists and specialists coexist. We go through evidence for an alternative cost for generalism: reduced evolvability. Evolvability Costs of Niche Expansion cell.com/trends/genetic…

ACE inhibitors, 1 of the most commonly used class of drugs for hypertension, have been a subject of #COVID19 confusion d/t the virus hijacking cells via ACE-2. But Nephrology Journal Club sets this straight really well nephjc.com/news/covidace2 and European Society of Cardiology's statement escardio.org/Councils/Counc…

Annals of spooky virology: bacteria carry virus genomes in their own DNA. After they make the viruses, the viruses form a liquid crystal around the bacteria, shielding them from antibiotics. pnas.org/content/117/9/…

Really happy to get out this work on cross-feeding altering the rate and mechanism of evolution of antibiotic resistance. Great work by Dr. Beth Adamowicz, PhD, Michaela Muza and Jeremy Chacon. dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

Excited to re-introduce a lost system of symbiosis research… the beetle-fungus symbioses of Drugstore and Cigarette beetles with their symbiont Symbiotaphrina, which have been largely ignored for over 40 years. A thread! tinyurl.com/yy7n6e3q

The lab's latest on #Ecoli in the human gut. Nice work Jon Martinson!!! asmscience.org/content/journa…

Interested in the ecology of E. coli in the human gut? Check out this review Seth Walk and I wrote during my PhD The Walk Lab

I am recruiting graduate students interested in resurrecting a forgotten model system of symbiosis | exploring diversity in bee microbiomes | or discovering new symbionts in invertebrates! More info at vincentmartinson.weebly.com Please RT/share widely!

Excited to announce a new paper about a new group of symbionts – Symbiopectobacterium – in @PNAS. This work was a collaboration with Steve Perlman, John Jaenike, Ryan Gawryluk, Brent Gowen, and Caitlin Curtis. Univ. of New Mexico UVic Research University of Rochester pnas.org/content/early/… A thread.

Our paper on microbial biogeography across skin pores is now published in Cell Host & Microbe! We find that C. acnes is severely bottlenecked within individual pores. This spatial structure may weaken intraspecies competition and promote coexistence. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
