From Preprint to Print! Congratulations again to @Ken_M_Mugambi for accomplishing this "tour the force" !! 🥳🥳

Definitely something that I need to read

Discovery of additional ancient genome duplications in yeasts: Current Biology cell.com/current-biolog…

Big congrats to PhD @Ken_M_Mugambi for pulling together this amazing piece of work 🫡 This study details the genome biology of the largest #AMF genome (G. margarita) and its intricate links with its🦠 endosymbiont and 🌱hosts 😀 biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

Live in Ontario? Love bugs and forests? I’m a U of T Scarborough researcher studying microbiomes of wood-feeding wasps & moths—differences in natives vs invasives & roles in forest disease. Catch & freeze suspects. DM with questions! #Entomology #Ontario #InvasiveSpecies

🦟🍄 New publication on mosquito–fungus interactions! Zancudomyces culisetae: a hidden player that accelerates mosquito larval growth and delivers yet-to-be-identified electron-dense particles @UtscBiology @UTSCresearch @UTSC @UofTEPIC 👉sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Genome evolution of #AMF and filamentous plant pathogens is strikingly similar 🤯 @jordana_olive shows that A/B compartments are common in AMF. Within these, TEs locate preferentially near effectors within evolving rapidly genome regions (B-comps)... academic.oup.com/gbe/article/17…

For those working with Hi-C data and the @ArimaGenomics workflow, we have rewritten the Arima tools using htslib to speed up the process. Any feedback is welcome: github.com/Genoscope-LBGB…

🔬 New #Preprint Alert! "ClipKIT in the Browser" enables fast, cloud-based trimming of multiple sequence alignments for #Phylogenetics. Perfect for non-experts—no CLI needed! Supports DNA, proteins, and codon data. @jlsteenwyk 🔗 brnw.ch/21wQNuc

I’m on the market! 🎉 What do I do? -I develop research questions and applied biotechnology to understand and disrupt insect symbioses. -I coordinate international teams to tackle interdisciplinary global challenges. -I train mycologists, entomologists and insect pathologists.

@lovettbr This is insane and hard to believe... you are doing amazing work, Brian. Please feel free to reach out if you need anything or if I can be helpful in any way -- I’m here for you.

So this is how the Lovett Lab ends. 😔

I am elated to share that our PhyKIT protocols manuscript appeared on the cover of Current Protocols🥳🥳🥳 …rentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cp…

Wonderful! I would love to see this replicated for all the families of Pezizales

Thrilled to see our paper "Phylogenomic insights into the taxonomy, ecology, and mating systems of the lorchel family Discinaceae (Pezizales, Ascomycota)" released online. An amazing collaboration with Alden Dirks, Tim James and many others ... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thank you for the highlight! @UTSCresearch @UtscBiology
