New preprint! Proud to be part of this important study on the #genome of an African #snail vector that transmits #parasites causing #schistosomiasis, one of the most prevalent #NeglectedTropicalDiseases affecting >200 million people. I know, you've seen genome papers before, but wait there's more! We actually sequenced several inbred lines, allowing us to find and characterize highly variable genes of possible immune relevance.

How did #eukaryotes evolve for extreme temps? https://www.futurity.org/high-temp-eukaryotes-2972442-2/ #protists

#ExtremeEnvironments offer an unprecedented opportunity to understand #microbial #eukaryotic #ecology, #evolution, and #genome #biology: Hannah Rappaport & Angela Oliverio https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-40657-4

“several lineages of #amoebae were often recovered from extremely high temperature environments. Studying those lineages may yield great insight into how eukaryotic cells can adapt to life in extremely hot environments.”


Phages... So many #phage and they are all #prophage integrated into a #bacteria #genome

A few million prophages from > million bacterial genomes

Are prophages good or bad for bacteria? The data shows they provide heaps of benefits

The paper is in #biorxiv and the data is on #figshare

Fascinating study on #genome #evolution :

Scaling of Protein Function Across the Tree of Life

"The abundance of functional categories in a given genome scales with genome size, suggesting that universal constraints shape category abundance. Here we look across the tree of life to understand how genome evolution may be related to functional scaling. "

Mitochondrial #genome maintenance—the #kinetoplast story: Simona Amodeo et al. https://academic.oup.com/femsre/advance-article/doi/10.1093/femsre/fuac047/6855247

The parasite #Trypanosoma brucei lives and replicates in insect vectors like the fly. During the mating process, both its #nucleus and #mitochondrion replicate and exchange their genetic information, while the mitochondrial mechanism is still incompletely understood.
