See the new paper by Hanne Griem-Krey and @michaelhabig.bsky.social on hitchhiking on starships... fungi are weird!

Tissues aren't static. They're evolving landscapes where mutant clones compete for dominance. Phylogenetics on somatic lineages, cross-species comparison across lifespans and steering clonal trajectories are exciting directions! @atjcagan.bsky.social's new comment www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How somatic evolution affects health - Nature Ecology & Evolution
As somatic evolution becomes directly measurable, integrating eco-evolutionary principles with high-resolution molecular data creates opportunities to anticipate and prevent disease.

@lillycummins.bsky.social's new paper talking about complex gene-to-gene interactions are what actually drive bacteria evolution and drug resistance. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Enjoyed the @phar.cam.ac.uk department final year talk last Friday. @psalmotoxin.bsky.social Smith Team delivered 5 talks from IBD & pain (Luke), joint pain (Helen and Monica), ageing (Cherry) to gut barrier functions (Anne). Wow 👏👏👏.

Excited to have started my postdoc with @psalmotoxin.bsky.social, working on mole rat research! Got a really warm welcome from the team 😄🙌 Wrapped up the first week with some lab punting on Friday—strong start! (Mole rats weren't invited but we had a blast anyway 🛶)

Summary: Lavisha found an IS inserted next to a deletion, and I found an IS inserted between two duplication fragments. Interestingly, both have no target site duplications identified. It suggested 1) IS element inserted in the DNA break, or 2) the Del or Dup was mediated by the IS transposase.

Delighted to contribute to this project and grateful that part of my PhD work builds upon the findings in this paper. As I near the completion of my PhD journey, stay tuned for the updates and sharing of my research. 🙌
