.@rociomozo.bsky.social is officially a PhD student in our lab! Her thesis project will explore the evolutionary history of Suessiales and the origin of symbiosis in the group🦠 Welcome!!🥳 #protists #corals #symbiosis #protistsonsky

Mare meva… 🤦‍♂️

Potser @icreacommunity.bsky.social i el Departament de Recerca i Universitats haurien de plantejar-se la imatge que dona el nostre sistema de recerca amb aquest moviment.

Spoiler: no pas bona. 🫥

Version 5.1.1 of the PR2 database has been released.

The major novelty is the inclusion of the recently published eKOI database (coi gene- doi.org/10.1093/data...) in the web interface. The 18S rRNA database is not changed so you can use 5.1.0 or 5.1.1 for metabarcode annotations
A novel taxonomic database for eukaryotic mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (eKOI), with a focus on protists diversity
Abstract. Metabarcoding has emerged as a robust method for assessing biodiversity patterns by retrieving environmental DNA directly from ecosystems. While

We are happy to share our latest work in @nature.com . We study the genomic and cellular basis of facultative symbiosis in Oculina patagonica - a Mediterranean coral remarkable for its ability to survive long periods without algal symbionts. Led by Shani Levy and @xgrau.bsky.social

Our study on the first rhodopsin channels known to respond to UV light is now published in PNAS! And they come from our favourite protists, apusomonads! #protistonsky
