😻 HUGE NEWS! We've done it! One of the "Magnificent 8" – key missing lineages for understanding animal origins – is ALIVE in our lab! Previously just DNA whispers, Maop 2 could now open a new chapter for research. 📖 We will soon formally "introduce" it to the scientific world.

Our paper on #biosynthetic genes coding for ribosomal #peptides is out now: https://t.co/Axd2oTsKbJ! We present the 1st report of #RiPP-BGCs presence & diversity in #lichens. Spoiler: they’re ubiquitous & make up ~15–20% of #BGCs. #secondarymetabolites #fungi #genomeMining

Oof, just realized that this July is the 10 year anniversary of the release of Bioinformatics Data Skills. Writing my book was one of the most fun, difficult, and rewarding things I’ve done. Can’t believe it’s been a decade; now I feel old 🥲

Excited to share my latest paper on the role of calcineurin in cytokinesis in a critical human pathogen. It started with a genetic screen to identify mutants that are resistant to calcineurin inhibitors, which led us to a very unexpected place. A short 🧵 https://t.co/ecs2ZX08PV

Excited to share our recent work on the power of RNA to encode physical information and how this can be embedded in the genetic code
biorxiv.org
Most amino acids are encoded by multiple codons, making the genetic code degenerate. Synonymous mutations affect protein translation and folding, but their impact on RNA itself is often neglected. We...

Here is something to distract you from the gloom: What can metagenomics tell us about the taxonomic composition of lichen symbioses? A peer-reviewed version of our analysis of >400 lichen metagenomes from around the world is now out in @PLOSBiology. 1/12 https://t.co/MMGDSEwm8H
