Delighted to share our opinion review paper in @Trends_Ecol_Evo, led by my student Isaiah Lee and in collab with the brilliant Peter @Gogarten_Lab and Omar Eldakar. We discuss HGT as driver, product and form of bacterial cooperation cell.com/trends/ecology-evol…

Bacterial cooperation through horizontal gene transfer

Cooperation exists across all scales of biological organization, from genetic elements to complex human societies. Bacteria cooperate by secreting molecules that benefit all individuals in the...

We had a real moment of joy today in #TinyEarthNCCU when students audibly gasped and gathered round to celebrate a student who finally saw zones of inhibition around this antibiotic producing isolate! 🎉 @TinyEarthNet

This is amazing! Phagocytosis-like cell engulfment by a Planctomycete... Interesting twist: its genome encodes an Asgard-like actin homolog!

This will generate a lot of controversy I suspect: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Anomalous phylogenetic behavior of ribosomal proteins in metagenome assembled genomes

Metagenomic studies have claimed the existence of novel lineages with unprecedented properties never before observed in prokaryotes. Such lineages include Asgard archaea[1][1]–[3][2], which are...
