Big congrats to Susan Mullen and coauthors on this new preprint. 🎉
We're excited to share this work exploring microbial dispersal and establishment across river water, groundwater, soil, and hyporheic zone environments in the East River watershed.

(1/6) Thrilled to share this story! In our preprint from my PhD in the @kranzuschlab.bsky.social, with help from the Hatfull lab and @soreklab.bsky.social, we discover RyDEP, a phage-encoded RyR-domain glycosidase that allows phages to evade Thoeris defense. Highlights below! doi.org/10.64898/202...
@joshnhamm.bsky.social @ndombrowski.bsky.social @greening.bsky.social @luisvalentin.bsky.social et al. provide the first investigation into the enigmatic Terrarchaeota and insights into the evolution of high salt adaptation in Archaea.

Abstract. Environmental genomics has led to the discovery of many new lineages of archaea, including “DPANN” (or Nanobdellati), comprising organisms with s
Our paper "Gene ancestries reveal diverse microbial associations during eukaryogenesis.” is finally out in Nature.
Eukaryogenesis was likely a gradual process shaped by multiple microbial partners and virus-mediated gene transfer, rather than a single binary symbiosis.
