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.

Finally, footage from that new whale graveyard.
The fact that fossils and fresh carcasses mix together in this spot is bonkers. But of course it makes sense, because the scavengers that live down there also need a steady supply over millions of years. They can't just suddenly adapt to the deep.
Very excited to be sharing our new paper, just out in Nature Cell Biology!
The big question we investigate: How do migrating cells put their front 🔴 and back 🔵 in the right place?
“If the cells are frequently turning over but there is still viral persistence, what other plausible explanations are there for this other than replication?”
That's a very good question someone asked, let's do a thread about VIRAL PERSISTENCE in #LongCovid to cover this! (1/10)
Move over, elephant graveyards - this whale necropolis extends 1,200km along the Indian Ocean seafloor at depths from 4,600-7,000m; has accumulated at least 476 fossil whale carcasses over the past 5m years; and has 5 active whale falls. Paper in @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...
We are thrilled to announce the 2026 Zara Weinberg Leading Edge Fellows! 40 remarkable postdocs pursuing transformative research in biological/biomedical sciences.
This is the 7th Leading Edge cohort and we are so excited to welcome them!

How do cells tune PRC2 allostery? We find EZH2 Ser21-phos restrains PRC2 adoption of the compact active state. Loss of this restraint promotes H3K27me3, redistributes cPRC1, and impairs differentiation. New bioRxiv with @kasinath-lab.bsky.social & @garcialabms.bsky.social! tinyurl.com/4369kmh2
The new OrthoFinder paper is out now!
In this new work, we introduce major advances in accuracy and scalability, allowing analysis on much larger datasets
