Super stoked to have had the opportunity to present my work on the evolution of some weird transport proteins!! Many thanks @microbiologysociety.org for inviting me and organising this superb conference 🦠🧬 #Microbio26 #MicroSky

I’ve spent a lot of time over the past two years thinking about genome evolution and how recent research revealing complex gene-gene interactions has complicated traditional ‘gene-centric’ genomic approaches to evolution. So here is a review that consolidates these thoughts! rdcu.be/e6pHY

Epistasis and co-adaptation in bacterial genome evolution
Nature Reviews Genetics - Bacterial genome evolution is shaped by epistasis, which can constrain or promote specific evolutionary paths. The authors review how integrating the effects of epistatic...

🚨New pre-print 🚨 We introduce our new tool GOLD-GWAS and demonstrate its use by digging into the evolution of MRSA facilitated by SCCmec This work was led by talented PhD student @seungwonko.bsky.social who did most of the computational heavylifting 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

📣 So excited to share the latest paper from my PhD with @aire-team.bsky.social, out now in Environmental Microbiome! 🥳 We mined a large ocean microbiome for remote homologues of core gene families in uncultured lineages. Key points below ⤵️ environmentalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
