🚨 New paper with @bramvandijk.bsky.social, out now in Genome Biology and Evolution! Why do accessory genes so often hitch a ride on temperate phages? We show that spatial structure alone can tip selection toward a prophage locus over a chromosomal one. doi.org/10.1093/gbe/... 🧵 Two mechanisms:

Viral Lifecycle Dynamics and Spatial Structure Explain Why Accessory Genes Are Associated With Temperate Phages
Abstract. Genes encoding for virulence factors are frequently found on prophages, yet the evolutionary forces driving this association remain unclear. The

📢 New paper out! Can we effectively characterize Fusarium diversity using metabarcoding? We analyzed Spanish cereal grains using ITS2 and TEF1, confirming key toxigenic species (e.g. F. langsethiae) and others often overlooked by traditional methods. Link below 👇

Back in Madrid after 3 months at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social! I recently wrapped up a research stay at @binfutrecht.bsky.social working on cereal metagenomics for my PhD thesis 🧬 Big thanks to @mfseidl.bsky.social and the TBB team, and to @femsmicro.org for the Research and Training Grant!

Throwback to the 47th Mycotoxin Workshop in Berlin! 🇩🇪 I shared part of my PhD thesis: a poster & 1-min pitch on Fusarium metabarcoding in cereal grains. Great science and networking! Looking forward to the next steps

There are many types of urinary tract microbiomes, and UTIs can happen with most of them. Even more interesting is that healthy individuals have almost the same microbial communities! Check out David's new preprint to see the details 👇

1/4. Excited to share the first preprint from my PhD at @binfutrecht.bsky.social and @uti-revisited.bsky.social 🐥. In this work, we explored the urinary tract microbiome composition (urobiome) by combining data from multiple metagenomic sequencing studies 💛🦠. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Extensive horizontal transfer of transposable elements shapes fungal mobilomes
Romeijn et al. reveal that horizontal transposon transfer is widespread in fungi, contributing up to 70% of transposon content in some taxa. The authors uncover thousands of events across diverse line...
