Can we simulate realistic evolutionary trajectories and “replay the tape of life”? In this work, we propose a flexible, generalizable framework for modeling how the entire protein seq evolves over time while capturing complex interactions across sites. 1/n

Pre-print 🚨 alert! We used AI protein structure prediction to analyze ~10,000 Borg proteins, revealing potential capsid proteins & viral-like features in these massive elements from methane-eating archaea. Could they be the first archaeal giant viruses? Check it out!

1/2 Honored to share my journey as a first-gen scientist with @metricausa in @NatureMethods! Highlights:
• The power of diversity in STEM
• How perseverance overcomes doubts
• The impact of mentorship & support
Let's keep pushing for inclusive science! #DiversityInSTEM

#cyanobacteria group is expanding! Come work on the amazing project with hundreds established cyanobacterial stable mixed communities who just needs someone to tackle into their interactions using engineering tools @igisci @BanfieldLab
🚨 WE ARE HIRING 🚨 The @BanfieldLab at the @igisci wants to hire a #postdoc to apply #metagenomics and #crispr engineering in model #cyanobacteria communities.

Super excited to share my paper – the big project of my PhD – that looks at what happens to viruses during the magical moment in soil following the first rainfall after a long dry season. This was a big project w @SieraVirus @BanfieldLab @Firestone_Lab @Jeffinerca @UCBTagaLab 🧵

Hi everyone, happy to share our discovery of an lineage of tiny bacteria associated with uncultivated, marine, pelagic choanoflagellates (the closest known living unicellular ancestor of animals):
OUT NOW: The microbiome of a bacterivorous marine choanoflagellate contains a resource-demanding obligate bacterial associate #OpenAccess
