Good luck with your hunt, targeting known unknown protists is such an exciting endeavor. So exciting that we’re doing the same thing 🤣

High indirect costs are limiting science in so many ways

Aquatic parasites of the finest, including amphizoic fish bugs (Biology Centre CAS culture collection). Amazing genomic analyses by Marcus Hiltunen Thorén and the Fabien Burki lab!

Protistology Nordics Meeting in Uppsala 2024 edition ongoing. The day was properly launched with a keynote talk by Elisabeth Hehenberger

Are you interested in how co-evolution shapes the genomes of bacterial symbionts and their hosts? Open PhD position in my lab at Mol Evo Uppsala to work on evolutionary genomics of host-symbiont interactions, with focus on #Wolbachia and #Drosophila . Apply at

Our big dinoflagellate paper is out! Highlights include transcriptomes for 39 heterotrophic species and new insights into character evolution of notable traits, like chromatin packaging proteins and rhodopsins. Enjoy! doi.org/10.1016/j.ympe…

Finally! 8 years after revealing their important contribution to mesozooplankton abundances worldwide, we published our work in Nature Communications by assessing their importance in the C and Si cycles. Laboratoire d’Océanologie et de Géosciences LABO LOV LEMAR (1/n) doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

I find this paper quite the tour de force. Congrats to all authors.

Nice

Identification of a new #gregarine parasite associated with mass mortality events of freshwater pearl #mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) in Sweden onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/je…

I am looking at this figure from Green. Chloroplast genomes of photosynthetic eukaryotes. Plant J. 66, 34–44 (2011). I swear it's the original (look at the unikonts label 🤣)

Like #protists , #mitochondria , #evolution ? Hate oxygen? Us too! Come join us as a PhD student as part of our #tango2lund project funded by European Research Council (ERC). Details about the position and how to apply: thelabupstairs.online/open-positions/

Nice tree too

New paper alert from my brilliant postdoc Anna embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…?

Notes (from my HDR) below.

💡Single-cell sequencing proves its worth in unravelling #protist #endosymbionts ! Kudos to Metody Hollender, Marta Sałek, and Michal Karlicki for comparing bulk DNA to single-cell sequencing and unveiling Grellia alia as endosymbiont of Eutrpetiella🧬🦠👇sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
