Not only bacteria, also red algae, through a polysaccharide seems to induce multicellular development in the choanoflagellate Salpingoeca rosetta. Nice to see the diversity of biochemical interactions that produce multicellular behaviour on #choanos . Congrats David Booth &

In another paper, my first grad student Fredrick Leon asks the question, “what function(s) can choano cell types perform?” He finds that one cell type in S. rosetta is much better at finding acquiring a major source of iron in the oceans: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very proud to share my first choanoflagellate paper with the world! This paper takes the first steps in understanding gene regulation and chromatin in choanoflagellates and sets the stage for my labs work! Some key points below! (1/6)

We have a bag full of exciting new talks in our #Goenomix seminar series Uni Göttingen Göttingen Campus prior to the summer break. Save the dates for a breeze of #Drosophila , a gust of #starfish and a final blow of #annelid action. More infos: pad.gwdg.de/s/a_5KCo2cq

Espen Søvik joins our lab as a PhD student. He has done his Masters @Norce and will now work on the ctenophore nervous system with support from
Universitetet i Bergen Michael Sars Centre. Welcome, Espen!

Cnidofest registration is now open! Please share widely!

Amazing talk by Alberto Stolfi Georgia Tech 👏 We were thrilled to learn about his work on the regulatory mechanisms underlying life cycle transitions in #Ciona , with a focus on neurons and muscle cells 🔬 Thank you for spending the day with us! Universitetet i Bergen

NEW Publication: The promise and pitfalls of synteny in phylogenomics in PLOS Biology!!😄
Synteny—conserved genetic collinearity—is a (re)emerging marker for reconstructing the tree of life. Here, we outline the promise and potential pitfalls of synteny for phylogenetic inference

1/n My postdoc work on the evolution of mitosis in Ichthyosporea Gautam Dey Omaya Dudin 𓂆 ¦🍉¦ 🇵🇸 ¦🦠¦🔬¦ Schwab Yannick groups is out nature shorturl.at/KPRQw Art by Nirupa Rao contrast fungal-like closed with animal-like open mitosis. Why do cells carry out mitosis in different ways?

Had a great time @EMBL at the course #EMBLFluorImaging learning about SMLM, FRET, Expansion, Adaptive feedback microscopy to just cite a few🔬🤩
Also met a nice group of PhD and Postdoc with diverse research interests which brought nice discussions🤓
