Very excited with the online publication of our modeling work on the evolution of sexual reproduction during obligate endosymbiosis: doi.org/10.1098/rstb.... The first publication of Alkmini Zania 🎉; together with Paulien Hogeweg.
@shrylishreekar.bsky.social and me wrote a commentary on Chunhui Hao's and @stuwest.bsky.social et al.'s recent paper
"Cooperation and the evolution of bacterial niche breadth"
in PNAS.
Please find our commentary here:

A single bacteriophage can dominate microbial communities yet only evolves when migration changes its ecological context.
Excited to share this is now published in @narjournal.bsky.social 🎉 see the preprint thread below for a summary of our findings on plasmids with multiple partition systems using the Streptomyces plasmid SCP1 as a model! academic.oup.com/nar/article/...
New preprint: "A branching cell-fate decision in biofilm dispersal enables long-term surface persistence." When V. cholerae biofilms disperse, it isn’t a uniform exit, rather, an opportunity to bet-hedge. A subpopulation of cells stay behind, primed for biofilm regrowth. doi.org/10.64898/202...

Abstract. Low-copy-number plasmids often rely on dedicated maintenance mechanisms, such as partitioning systems, to ensure stable inheritance across genera
Phenotypic cliffs paper is out!
We observe in RNA that phenotypic sites which typically keep the phenotype unchanged through mutation (robust), are also the ones which lead to the most change when they do.

With a 135 complete, circular Pelagibacter genomes, we have answered some of the most outstanding questions about what is often considered the most abundant organism on the planet, with roughly 10 million times more individuals in the ocean than stars in the universe. Check out our preprint.
