Biology and Ecology of Abundant Protists (BEAP) Lab
@beaplab.bsky.social
The BEAP Lab is at the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE) in Barcelona. Our goal is to culture and then characterize the cell biology, behavior and ecosystem relevance of abundant protists. PI: Daniel J. Richter. Web: https://www.beaplab.org/
New preprint! For years, we had worried that Dollo parsimony, which is based on principles developed for morphological characters, was not an appropriate choice for ancestral gene content reconstruction based on sequence homology. Now we can say: it’s not! doi.org/10.1101/2023... #protistsonsky
Dollo parsimony overestimates ancestral gene content reconstructions

The BEAP lab would like to welcome two new members! Xènia Maya joins us as a lab technician for the IBE Microbe Hub (joint with the Multicellgenome and @fonamental.bsky.social labs), and Viktoriya Petlovana joins us as a visiting scientist from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
