Very happy to finally have this out! Thank you to my awesome PhD supervisors and all the co-authors!!
📣 We are proud of the publication of the second paper of @bbaker24.bsky.social PhD thesis. In collaboration with friends in Halifax we have studied the difficult question of the phylogeny of the DPANN archaea, composed of several phyla of highly reduced, fast-evolving epiparasites 🧵

After 3 years of work, we are thrilled to submit this preprint. In collaboration with DEEM Team, we uncovered the complex interactions between haloarchaea, nanohaloarchaea, and their respective viruses and virus satellites. See🧵

Nested parasitism in hypersaline environments: viruses and virus satellites of haloarchaea and their nanosized cellular symbionts
It is increasingly recognized that hyperparasitism, whereby a parasite exploits a host which itself is a parasite, is a common phenomenon across ecosystems and domains of life. Here, to explore hyperp...
