If you want to read a cool story today, look no further:
A billion-year-old bacterial machinery replicates plastid DNA and supports kleptoplastidy #protistsonsky www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Really excited to share our new paper from @ibe-warszawa.bsky.social protist team! 🎉
We dive into protist symbioses and show how these interactions shape ecosystems and have played a key role in the evolution of eukaryotes 🦠
🎉 Big congrats to Alessandro Culicchii, a post-doc in my team! Thanks to the @isme-microbes.bsky.social Mobility Fund, he’s heading to Paris to work with @luciebittner.bsky.social on bacteria and protist association networks in Masurian lakes, using #MicroDivEr data. Good luck!

✨ A study in nature.com from our Faculty at @unikarlova.cuni.cz reveals Solarion arienae, a rare #protist forming a newly identified eukaryotic supersroup Disparia. A unique window into early #eukaryotic cell #evolution. 🌍🔬👏

Fantastic training opportunity for anyone working with genomic data and evolutionary questions.
Highly recommended - amazing course, great community, and a fantastic setting!
Excited to share our new work on nanopore metabarcoding — showing how it can be used for protists and combined with short reads!
Led by my PhD student Małgorzata Chwalińska, with our team at @ibe-warszawa.bsky.social and @fabnot.bsky.social & Sarah Romac at @sbroscoff.bsky.social

The 2026 Workshop on Phylogenomics will take place between the 25th of January and 7th of February, in Cesky Krumlov, Czechia. 🧬🌳 Applications are now open! Deadline: 15th of November, 2025. Do not miss the chance to attend! Spread the word among colleagues! 🤗 evomics.org/apply-worksh...
A proposal for journal accreditation systems to counter predatory practices. If funding agencies enforced these accreditations, predatory journals would quickly vanish.
