Before you accept your £100M donation. Ask yourself. What will it look like in the press when this rambling old man goes full scale Rowley Birkin QC.

How do bacterial pangenomes evolve, what controls their dynamics, why do they exist?
Fitting a mechanistic model to 450 species from allthebacteria.org suggesting fast vs slow gene exchange (i.e. amount of MGEs) is a major differentiating factor, correlated with phylogeny rather than lifestyle

Proportion of fast genes, as a trait mapped on the bacteria-wide phylogeny

He should have gone 2 world cups ago. This is reminiscent of his final days as Glasgow coach; over coaching everything and trying to knock a square peg in a round hole. Did no one in Scotland check what the weather forecast was?!

At long last, my final PhD chapter is out: we developed a novel evolutionary simulator of bacterial pangenomes, Pansim, fitting it to data from >600K genomes using a likelihood-free framework, PopPUNK-mod, to explore neutral and adaptive pangenome dynamics www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
