Dallol has got the cover of the NatureEcoEvo November issue!

There should be a law prohibiting the use of textured bar graphs. Also, I keep on seeing the similarities in bars of the same color, hahaha.

This is cool!

I'm so proud of this paper. It's my first correspondent author's work. It's my first paper with @pohlschr, who I met only recently and hit off so quickly! And it's scientifically delightful as it demonstrates how archaeal cells teach us new tricks. Here are the take-home msgs

nature.com/articles/s4155… Some new work with Cymon Cox, Peter Foster, Gergely J Szöllősi and Martin Embley on the 2D vs 3D tree of life debate.

Excited to share our latest @BioRxivpreprint showing hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus dividing live and cool ESCRTIII mutant phenotypes. An amazing team effort between Ricardo Henriques Sonja Sonja-Verena Albers and Buzz Baum labs! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Curious about the evolutionary origins of the cell cycle? Our paper on how the proteasome controls ESCRT-III mediated cell division in an archaeon is out in Science Magazine. Many thanks to Fredrik Hurtig Buzz Baum and the whole team for making this possible. science.sciencemag.org/content/369/65…

Are you interested in archaeal evolution and diversity? Check out our publication on the Undinarchaeota: nature.com/articles/s4146… Many thanks to my great post-doc Nina Dombrowski and co-authors: Tom Williams (tweethinking.bsky.social), Chris Rinke, Bui Quang Minh, Ben WoOdcroft, junhoe_evol and Jiarui Sun!

How does the proteasome regulate ESCRT-III-based division in archaea? Check out our latest paper in Science Magazine to find out! Big thanks to Gabriel Tarrason Risa, Nick Robinson, Buzz Baum and everyone else involved for this amazing journey! science.sciencemag.org/content/369/65…

We’ve been thinking a lot about the evolution of the eukaryotic division machinery lately. Many archaea contain ESCRT-III homologues, but how is it used to divide the cell? Check out our new paper in Science Magazine to learn how! science.sciencemag.org/content/369/65…

Ever wondered how bacteria get by without having ESCRTIII. The answer is that Vipp1/PspA/IM30 are bacterial ESCRTIII homologues and share a similar structure. Nature wows us again! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We’re recruiting! Come join a young (but growing!) lab working at the intersection of cell biology and evolution to understand the organisation of the nucleus - and train in one of the world’s best PhD programmes! #EMBLPhD2021 embl.de/research/units…

Attention archaeal community! We will soon start building ARCHAEA.bio - a collaborative protocol exchange platform for archaeal researchers all around the world. Sign up for our mailing list and show your support by filling in this form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Editorial: Archaeal Ribosomes: Biogenesis, Structure and Function frontiersin.org/article/10.338… This editorial concludes the Research Topic at Frontiers in Microbiology on "Archaeal Ribosomes: Biogenesis, Structure and Function" co-edited by Paola Londei and Anna La Teana.

Thrilled to share our latest work ''A novel RHH family transcription factor aCcr1 and its viral homologs dictate cell cycle progression in archaea''! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Really happy to see that our latest work on ESCRT-III-based cell division is out! science.org/doi/full/10.11… Amazing effort by Buzz Baum, Andela Saric and Rifka Vlijm lab!
