Sebastian S. Cocioba🪄🌷 I do something similar: just grow 10 mL LB light O/N in a falcon tube (on the shaker horizontally @ 37) and spin down next am, rinse twice and resuspend in a few 50 ul milliq aliquots. Works every time, super easy (for electroporation)! Much easier than typical CaCl2 protocol.

Fungal genomes are 🤯🤯🤯 We wrote this review to summarise some lessons we learned in the last 20 years of fungal genomics. Excited to see where our field is going in the next 20 years to come! Thanks a lot to all co-authors YuSeng Huang Thorsten Langner and Sophia 🧵👇

Happy to receive my tenure & promotion letter today! Grateful to my amazing lab group who are kind, work hard, and share a passion for knowledge & microbial community ecology 😄. And for early career awards from U.S. National Science Foundation & Simons Foundation and support from Boise State University Boise State Biology

The GlobalFungi team is happy to announce that data downloads are now available from GlobalFungi (globalfungi.com). No matter if you are interested in fungal genera, species or species hypotheses, you can now get their sequence counts in all samples at once.

You can now download the entire community matrix for ~83,000 samples (with metadata) and ~75,000 fungal taxa with just one click! Explore the GlobalFungi database.

Starships 🚀- a natural system of horizontal gene transfer in eukaryotes. Very interesting. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to share our paper from a new research line led by Carlos Molina-Santiago, where we engineered the T6SS of Pseudomonas putida to deliver effectors against bacterial competitors and fungal pathogens like Botrytis cinerea. jbioleng.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… IHSM La Mayora #T6SS

"we engineered Pseudomonas strains as inducible platforms for the delivery of antifungal and antibacterial effectors, targeting both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi."

I was waited two years to see this out!! The genomic location of bacterial genes is not random. Congratulation on the authors (Martin Lercher and Team!). An impresive piece of work! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… A small thread !
