Happy to have contributed to this excellent paper by @KEdougan in the group of @dorkyM that provides a model of how whole-genome duplication shaped evolution of the heat-tolerant coral algal symbiont, Durusdinium ( https://t.co/R05eTu9Abg). Algae rock! Great work everyone.

In our new paper at Cell (@CellCellPress), we reveal secrets of how the third form of life, archaea, make energy. We uncover new lineages of hydrogen-using enzymes, both minimal and complex. These help archaea thrive in all sorts of extreme environments. https://t.co/ZQzYemOI3o
