I si l'origen de les nostres cèl·lules no és com ens pensàvem? 🦠🤔
Un estudi liderat pel #RecercaireICREA @tonigabaldon.bsky.social (@irbbarcelona.org @bsc-cns.bsky.social) ha descrit el rol de bacteris i virus gegants en l’origen de les cèl·lules complexes. 👇🏼

Congratulations to our new Doctor, Islam Ahaik who obtained her PhD today at the Faculty o Sciences in Tetouan.
Y si la aparición d las células eucariotas no hubiera sido tan sencilla como pensábamos? Gran trabajo @tonigabaldon.bsky.social 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🥂🍾

This theoretical approach (previously in this @pnas.org s.org paper by @nigelgoldenfeld.bsky.social and Carl Woese www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...) seems consistent with the recent work by @tonigabaldon.bsky.social on the complex paths towards the emergence of LUCA.

Funny to get quoted on a pun about the origin of eukaryotes being a bit of a promiscuous relationship in the 🇪🇸 press, but glad to help communicate @tonigabaldon.bsky.social & his team's fatnastic work, which highlights the importance of giant viruses 👾 in eukaryotic origins @nature.com. Congrats!

Very proud of Islam, who performed part of her thesis with us at @irbbarcelona.org . Has been a pleasure to attend the defence, and has been my first chance to visit Morocco.

How did complex cells emerge? In this groundbreaking paper, @tonigabaldon.bsky.social & co show that eukaryotes arose through multiple waves of ancient genetic exchange involving diverse bacteria (& giant viruses!) revealing a far more complex origin than we imagined. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

El gran salto evolutivo por el que surgieron las células complejas que nos conforman sigue siendo un enigma. Una nueva investigación con el supercomputador de Barcelona revela que hay más actores implicados de los que pensábamos
Gene ancestries reveal diverse microbial associations during eukaryogenesis
Fantastic paper from @microbiobits.bsky.social @tonigabaldon.bsky.social and colleagues.

Phylogenomic reconstruction of the proteome of the last eukaryotic common ancestor sheds light on the origin of eukaryotes, indicating an important role of horizontal transfer of genes from diverse ba...
