New paper out today in @Micro_MDPI 😃 Draft genomes for Phytophthora chlamydospora, P. gonapodyides and P. pseudosyringae Using bioinf and mass spec, we characterised their genomes, putative effector arsenals and in vivo intra/extracellular proteomes https://t.co/ZLFF7kb8tC

A more recent paper from the lab. FISHing in fungi: Visualisation of mushroom virus X in Agaricus bisporus mycelium by fluorescence in situ hybridisation. Work again from @ep_oconnor's PhD thesis with colleagues in @teagasc Ashtown and @eastwood_dan https://t.co/VN9RTKSfJC

Recent paper from the lab. Proteomic investigation of interhyphal interactions between strains of Agaricus bisporus. Work from @ep_oconnor's PhD thesis with colleagues in @teagasc Ashtown. https://t.co/pSTxOCji9Q

submitted the big boys last friday 🐳

I'm so glad to share our findings on how the addition of culture can improve our understanding of the human microbiome (more MAGs, better functional assignmnts). >6 yrs in the making, this story involved an amazing & dedicated group of scientists! 👩‍💻🧫👩‍🔬 https://t.co/jGFxI9hihk

Super happy this is out in the world! Working on this specialised ribosome project, with the most excellent people (Tayah, @Ribo_Karl, @RNA_julie, @LabFontana, @Evol_Molly, @cgpmcc), has been one of my favourite parts of my PhD. Read and feedback away science twitter!

Abstract submission for the Early Career conference are now open! 8 speaker slots are up for grabs- all topics accepted! Join us for scientific sessions, non-academic careers talks, professional development.....and key note speaker @MikeyJ on science and setting up his own lab.

my personal goals for 2020 are to start learning max/msp and to start a substack

2010-2019: - got into maynooth - mother died - graduated, got a scholarship, started a phd - travelled outside ireland for the 1st time aged 23 - presented and published a bunch of stuff - moved to britain, submitted and defended thesis fine for the most part

Fancy! Look who just made the University News. Congrats Sarah @SLarragy and @HazelDunbar_ on your awards for winning the #thesisin3 and flying the @MaynoothBiology flag so proudly.

I'm proud to introduce my first bioRxiv paper on new software to find gene-gene co-occurrence in pangenomes. Written with Martin Rusilowicz & @jomcinerney. *Now on Bioconda!* Coinfinder: Detecting Significant Associations and Dissociations in Pangenomes https://t.co/moc9dC04nG

Society Champion @MicrobioGer wrote a blog on this August’s Biology Summer School which took place at the University of Maynooth @MU_bio_school.

The New Tree of Eukaryotes, or what has changed in the last 15 years on the broad phylogeny of #protists and how we understand the tree now. I enjoyed a lot working with Alastair Simpson, @andrewjroger and @socialprotist on this review

Genome Sequence of the Commercially Relevant Mushroom Agaricus bisporus var. bisporus ARP23 is out. Starting point for other exciting work from @ep_oconnor that we hope to publish soon. With our collaborators Sylvan-Somycel & @teagasc .@MU_Research https://t.co/FYUgrR4T85
