The Chisholm Lab is hiring an entry level bioinformatics technician! If you have prior experience analyzing multi-omics datasets and are interested in learning more about Prochlorococcus (who isn't?!), please search and apply for MIT job 21923. Working remotely is a possibility.
The Chisholm Lab is hiring! If you are looking for a entry level technician position and want to join a group researching the ecology of marine microorganisms, please apply through the MIT careers site (search for job 21106).

Manuscript published today! Check out the method we used to isolate exocellular “free” DNA from the open ocean. Yes, nearly a THIRD of all the DNA in the ocean is nonliving! Available on LO Methods: aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley…
How did it get there? Who is it coming from? Stay tuned!
What microbes come along when we isolate Prochlorococcus? Find out in our paper “Microbial diversity of co-occurring heterotrophs in cultures of marine picocyanobacteria” rdcu.be/cda9P

How do abundant marine microbes maintain fast-adapting genomes in dilute open oceans?
With "tycheposons" - mobile genetic elements that move around in viruses and vesicles, shuttling genes and remodeling genomic islands

What is a pangenome, why is it valuable & how do you create one? Next up in our #Sequencing101 blog series: Looking beyond the single reference genome to a pangenome for every species. Hear thoughts from @ChisholmLab_MIT @sedlazeck & others on pangenomes: ow.ly/UprZ50ztMeh

new results from my bud Jamie Becker (and yours truly 😉). isolates from 2 notoriously difficult-to-culture marine groups now growing together (stable for > 2 years). a great system for exploring microbial interactions!

Excited to share our new marine microbial metagenomics data set with the research community. Linkage to existing @geotraces chemical and physical data. nature.com/articles/sdata201…
With an accompanying data set of single cell genomes to facilitate interpretation. nature.com/articles/sdata201… Much thanks to @SimonsFdn @MooreFound and @NSF for supporting these projects!
