If you are interested in collapsing nodes of a phylogeny, but you, as I did, struggle doing it with ggtree, I programmed a ggtree extension that allows you to easily collapse the nodes you want. 🧵️ github.com/moibernabeu/gg…

🍾Our small #Expansion #Microscopy adventure is only starting! We are happy to announce that Moore Foundation will be funding our efforts in creating an Expansion Microscopy atlas of #Microbial #Eukaryotes with Gautam Dey Université de Genève EMBL Link: unige.ch/sciences/chimi… 1/4

Happy to share that I'll be giving a plenary talk at VIZBI 2025 in Cambridge UK — and online — 8–11 April 2025. Mainly about how we deal with the analysis & visualization of huge trees, metagenomics profiling, novel microbial functions, synteny & more! vizbi.org/2025

🚨 #Protists take the spotlight at ESEB2025! Just under 2 weeks left to submit your abstract to the Symposium on the Evolution of #Symbiosis and Interactions in Microbial Eukaryotes 🦠🔬 📅 Abstract deadline: April 25, 2025 🔗 More: eseb2025.com/list-of-sympos…

🚨🧵Out now in The ISME Journal! We find abundant corallicolid sequences within bearded fireworms across reefs and years in Curaçao 🇨🇼! 🪱🪸 This is the first report of corallicolids inside a non-anthozoan host! academic.oup.com/ismej/advance-… #Protists #Corals

Episode 4 introduces our latest preprint! schaechter.asmblog.org/schaechter/202…

😻 HUGE NEWS! We've done it! One of the "Magnificent 8" – key missing lineages for understanding animal origins – is ALIVE in our lab! Previously just DNA whispers, Maop 2 could now open a new chapter for research. 📖 We will soon formally "introduce" it to the scientific world.

¡Únete a la caza de microorganismos de alta montaña!👇 ecologia.ugr.es/informacion/no…

¿Conocéis a los protistas? Compartimos ancestro con estos microorganismos que están en la base de las redes tróficas del océano y, por tanto, de sus ecosistemas. Por eso es tan importante estudiarlos como hace el Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE) en los labs de Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo o Javier del Campo 👇

🦠La maravillosa red microscópica que sostiene la vida en los océanos y explica el origen de los animales 🌊En la superficie puede haber más de 100.000 especies de protistas, cuyos linajes están por ubicar en el árbol de la vida Reportaje de Ana Lozano 👇 tiny.cc/3rgm001

🎒 VI Jornadas Lagunas de Sierra Nevada (Lagunas de Sierra Nevada) 📅 Fecha: Del viernes 18 al domingo 20 de julio de 2025. 📍 Lugar: Albergue Universitario de Sierra Nevada . fciencias.ugr.es/34-noticias/47…

Thrilled to see this article, which we have been working on for the past few years, published as FirstView in contemporary european history! Many thanks to the journal, to the reviewers and to my colleague and co-author, Mercedes Yusta, for her invaluable work 👇 cambridge.org/core/journals/…

We have a postdoc opening for a protistologist with biophysics inclinations to join our HFSP project! (focus will be on characterising the morphology, ultrastructure and behaviour of excavates) #protists Apply by Sept 17th (RTs appreciated!) jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecrui…

夏休みスペシャル第二弾。今日はミドリムシ類だよ。接合藻類と比較するとミドリムシの外形はわりと単純。ただ赤いものがいたり、固い殻を持つものがいたりと別の方向で多様性が大きい。ミドリムシのなかまは元々、葉緑体を持っていなかったけど、緑藻類の葉緑体を盗んだと言われているよ。
