#Chlamydiae expand our view on how intracellular #bacteria evolve Nature Microbiology doi.org/grmkk2 phys.org/news/2023-01-c…

1/ Open position for a 3yr #postdoc at Biology, LU Lund University. You’ll be exploring the molecular basis and evolution of symbiotic interactions between bacteria and single-celled eukaryotes #protists in low-oxygen environments as part of our #ERCStG project TANGO2.

Very excited to finally open this position: PhD on microbial genome evolution, with emphasis on studying genome architecture in bacteria and archaea. tinyurl.com/phdgenomeevolu… Please RT and share with talented MSc students in bioinformatics, evol biology or related fields :)

If you want to do a PhD in microbial evolution I highly recommend checking out this position! From personal experience I can say that Dani is as a fantastic mentor who does super cool science!

Our latest chapter of the Asgard saga is finally published in @nature! See nature.com/articles/s4158… #OpenAccess See separate twitter threads by lead authors Laura Eme and Daniel Tamarit for background info. Below a thread on the history of the Tree of Life .

I am so very stoked that this study is finally out! So many years of work, now condensed in a few pages (+ extensive SI 😬). Don't miss Laura Eme's fantastic summary thread! Phylogenomics were central and painstaking. What did we do with 6 years of tree-making? 1/

Very happy to see this published. The result of years of work, with many people involved, trying to identify genes expressed by natural communities of marine microbial eukaryotes when eating and growing on bacteria. microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

I have an open PhD position in my lab at Mol Evo Uppsala Uppsala University to work on evolutionary genomics of host-symbiont interactions, focusing on #Wolbachia and #Drosophila. Apply at jobb.uu.se/details/?posit… Please RT!
