So excited to finally show the world a project years in the making. A huge group effort with lots of expertise leading to a unique #Asgard syntrophy story. Very fortunate to have been involved in cultivating and analysing this wonderful organism ❤️

Our new preprint with a new #Asgard from stromatolites (and its Desulfobacterota companion). Complete circularised genomes of both, cool #cryoem images, protein modelling, etc

Big group effort with a lot of people involved

An Asgard archaeon from a modern analog of ancient microbial mats
It has been proposed that eukaryotic cells evolved via symbiosis between sulfate-reducing bacteria and hydrogen-producing archaea. Here we describe a highly enriched culture of a novel Asgard archaeon...

This was fun! Folding whole proteomes… looking at tomogram, looking at genomes🤩 lots to discover!🧬🧶

Our Big Fantastic Virus Database (BFVD) is now published NAR! It contains protein structure predictions of major viral clades, enhanced by petabase-scale homology search and it's explorable on the web.

Go @hannjbrown.bsky.social and @iduggin.bsky.social !! Archaea champs 💪🏽

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨

MinD is famously known for positioning FtsZ at mid-cell in bacteria

In our study, myself and @iduggin.bsky.social found that MinD homologues in Haloferax volcanii influence the localisation of CetZ1, a homologue of FtsZ and tubulin

Sharing new tools made by Artyom Egorov in my group!
1) loVis4u sensitively compares & visualises #phage or #plasmid seqs with beautiful vector graphics www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
2) iLund4u finds diversity hotspots/islands encoding eg virulence/ defence systems www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Now out in NSMB for those who missed our biorxiv back in 2023.. bacterial ESCRT-III-like #Vipp1 forms dynamic spiral filaments on membrane! Spirals are springs that drive 3D ring formation in the spiral centre! 😵‍💫 wonderful collaboration with Adai Colom’s lab and @rouxlab.bsky.social

Finally started migrating from X to bsky and hoping to connect with more people interested in #Bioinformatics 🧬💻. Thanks @amanzanom.bsky.social for all the tips so far and if someone out there have any good tips, please let me know!

A nice paper on microbial dark matter revealing that in situ devices increase coral's microbes culturability up to 570% is out on iScience 🧪. This device, initially used in soils, has proved to be useful in marine sponges and, now, in corals as well.

I made a starter pack for researchers who study various aspects of viral sociality. It's woefully incomplete and has lots of room to grow, so do message me if I've missed you!
