Did you know about these tiny shiny ants (red arrow) living with wood ants (blue arrow)? They are Shining Guest Ants (Formicoxenus) and we have recently discovered that a wood ant nest can be home to several genetically distinct colonies of these 'guests'! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author... 1/5

Well done, Sophia! 🎉
Very successful Transcriptomics workshop in collaboration with @elementalengbio.bsky.social. Thanks to everyone who came along!
Very excited to be off to the @fogenomics.bsky.social today!
New publication just out that the group contributed to, assembling and annotating a genome of the destructive plant pathogen Pythium aphanidermatum, with @katherinedenby.bsky.social. A tricky one to assemble, with a significant amount of repeats.

Another great TSN meeting. Very encouraging to see how active the UK RTP community is. @ukri.org @uk-itss.bsky.social @tech-commit.bsky.social
An interesting and important paper just out, that the group contributed significantly to, on the fascinating shining guest ant and its genetic diversity in English (RHS on plots) and Scottish (LHS on plots) populations. Led by @elvarobinson.bsky.social.
