Very excited to share our new paper out in Nature. Congrats to Xiaoqian (Annie) Yu and all the coauthors.nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Genome-wide sweeps create ecological units in the human gut microbiome

Nature - Genome-wide selective sweeps commonly occur in the human gut microbiome and can spread across the world within decades to produce epidemic-like population structures.

In a couple of months, my lab will have a postdoctoral position available for a computational biologist. The project will focus on bacterial population genomics with strong focus on MGE dynamics. Please get in touch if you feel qualified ([email protected]) or repost.

🧬 We discovered how bacteria detect phage infections by sensing fragments of their own degraded DNA. Meet #ApeA – a #BacterialImmunity system activated by a novel signal - #Deoxydinucleotides. Read our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… A thread 🧵 (1/11)

By the way: there is still no way I am calling Proteobacteria as "Pseudomonadota".

How do you react when your favorite microbe is renamed by taxonomists who are completely outside your field—and who ignore the community that actually works with it? Here is our clear answer re the case of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 👉🏻 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

Names matter; they are not mere labels. They operate as anchors of memory, social coordinates, and references of collective identity. When a name becomes established through long-term use and broad...

Today's pro-tip for effective research seminars: Invest your efforts in clear and accessible visuals! Figures from papers often have too high complexity for seminars - a bit like a book needs to be streamlined when making a movie out of it. 😅📚🎬

Today's pro-tip for effective research seminars: Show fewer things but explain them better. People fall in love with a cool new story and not with your supplementary data.
