Congrats Chinmay and Taruna - that was a fun collaboration!!.
Thrilled to share my recently published work describing another curious case of inter-domain horizontal gene transfer (HGT), this time involving nematodes! HGT is just 😍🤯🔥 Many thanks to @Daugherty_Lab and a wonderful collaboration with @DengkeMa!.
