New preprint: a new genetic code in select archaea! I'd like to thank my co-authors for their amazing work - it was so much fun working together on this project!.

🚨 We discovered a new genetic code, "Genetic Code 34," sporadically distributed in archaea. Select archaea have genome-wide recoding of the TAG stop codon to pyrrolysine; the adoption of this code was likely driven by metabolic processes. (1/2)

When I first started thinking about entrepreneurship, I didn’t really know where to start. Being in this workshop has been an incredibly helpful experience, I’m so excited to be learning these key aspects of starting a business!.

Almost 9 years ago I went on a research cruise during the first month of my PhD. We found this toxic waste dump site off the coast of California. The bacteria from the sample have a mechanism that’s commonly overlooked in ā€˜omics studies… and may have a role in human health!

First day of work at my dream job… learning to be an entrepreneur @igisci ! A beach walk for my pup so he’d behave while I’m at work & a lovely IGI gift! . More soon on my work… how did investigating a toxic dumpsite in the ocean lead to my current bio-therapeutic project?
