Really cool #review

Natural and artificial variations of the standard #geneticCode

Of course with mention of #endosymbiont lineages

On the topic of new additions to the lab, Pegah (@pegah-kalatehjari.bsky.social) joined the group last month. She will delve into symbiont transmission in #leeches working under the #SymBirth_FWF1k project (doi.org/10.55776/TAI...). Exciting times ahead!

Great work by @filiphusnik.bsky.social's team. #Symbiosis and #speciation in #mealybugs.

"... the emergence of major mealybug lineages coincided with the acquisitions of new obligate endosymbionts"
