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.

This Perspective emerged from scientific discussions at a Company of Biologists Workshop @biologists.bsky.social organised by María Moriel-Carretero @morieLAB.bsky.social & Aurélia E. Lewis. They sparked the idea for this Perspective and helped review the drafts. Many thanks to both!
☄️New biosensor!☄️ We present Meteor, our GFP-based methionine optical reporter, which can be used to measure methionine dynamics across scales, from subcellular to organisms like C elegans! Plasmids will be deposited with Addgene. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
