I'm preparing a lecture on prokaryotic chromosomes, which will include some discussion on ploidy. I was curious to know if some of the ASGARD archaea are polyploid so I googled it. This is Gemini's results 😅😅😑

Can't resist sharing another visual that did not make it to the Final cut.

Excited to announce the EMBO Conference: Molecular Biology of Archaea (MBoA) 2026!
Join us in Cambridge, UK, from 6–10 July 2026 for the only international meeting dedicated entirely to Archaea.

I feel so lucky to work with @atjcagan.bsky.social! During the annual seminar of the Department of Genetics (@geneticscam.bsky.social), he was busy live sketching. I'll keep this one, it's such a nice memory. It mentions some of my current obsessions on histone H2A
