Awesome time lapse of Alvin sampling Pescadero basin! Cruise led by Dr. Mandy Joye 🇺🇦 🌻 including labs of Brett Baker Karthik Anantharaman and my own

Grateful to be part of this expedition on board @WHOl
vessel R/V Atlantis led by Dr. Mandy Joye 🇺🇦 🌻. We've already set up the lab, did emergency training, watch the eclipse and we're ready to do some science!

Excited that an HFSP grant I led with Joanne Emerson Joanne Emerson, Karthik Anantharaman Karthik Anantharaman & Graeme Nicol Graeme Nicol has been funded.🥳

We will study the impact of viruses on wetland methane cycle. 🚨FOUR postdoc/PhD positions will be available.

Anyone looking for a postdoc in viromics? Go work with Chao. Great advisor and an awesome environment in Shenzhen!

Sabbatical News: I will be on sabbatical in India from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. Plans to spend time initiating and fostering collaborations with Karthik Raman and others in the Dept of Biotechnology at IIT Madras in Chennai. More details soon

Also, check out these viral analyses from the same 20-year dataset that Robin Rohwer used in her paper.
Also a beautiful work (as always) by Chao (Zhichao) Zhou, Patricia Tran, PhD, and others in Karthik Anantharaman lab.

Very excited to announce a 20 year study of microbial ecology and evolution in a lake out today. This is the largest metagenomic seqing of a site resulting in >30k MAGs. We track shift in diversity and strains, and link sweeps to environmental factors.

Also see the accompanying study, that tracks viruses over all 20 years!

Happy to share our new work studying viral diversity, ecology, & evolution over long-time scales. We track 1.3 million viral genomes over 20 yrs to study viral interactions, ecological dynamics, & evolutionary trajectories. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Last night's send-off dinner, marked the end of my 5-year journey in Karthik's lab Karthik Anantharaman. Truly grateful for the guidance, support, and friendship of my incredible labmates and mentors. Thank you for the memories and lessons that I'll carry forward. 🌟

Excited to be working with the JGI and a multi-national team to study wetland viruses linked to C-cycling. Christina Hazard Dr Ashish Malik Karthik Anantharaman Caitlin Singleton Graeme Nicol

🚨 Our new paper is out! 🚨
1/ We explore the evolution of early microbial heterotrophy and how it would have impacted biogeochemical cycling in ancient oceans.
