Why can only athletes have cool trading cards?
Scientists should have them too! And here it is! 🤓

I have been listening to this type of speech since I was 10. 😴
If I listened to this.. I wouldn't have done sh*t with my life!
-Life is hard
-The world isn't fair
All true, but so what? Because it's hard you won't even try?
So please step a side, or you are gonna get run over.

Our main goal with this work is to highlight the importance of bringing archaea into the debate on the origins of eukaryotic immune mechanisms
Asgard archaea have undoubtedly influenced eukaryotic cellular complexity, and we believe the same applies to their defense strategies!

Onto the argonaute story.
Our positioning of Asgard proteins in a sequence and structure context reveals compelling evidence that links Euk and Prok argonautes to ancient Asgard versions of this protein, with a remarkably high degree of conservation.

But that's not all!
Through heterologous expression, we demonstrated Asgard vip are functional and can protect E. coli populations against T7 phage infection
Poking the debate on how proteins from Asgard groups closely related to Euk might need some help to work in bac systems
