Kepler Mears

Look out science twitter, @baym is starting his rotation in the lab and is already breaking things!

@barrygoldman1 The LTEE case persists, is transcribed and translated but has no signs of functionalizing mutations - analysis of TN-aww reveals no adverse effects to disrupting it. However parallel deletion in the same region indicates it swept due to benefit of deletion -Arya

@KeplerMears not even the LTE case? did they persist or not?

🎉 New year, NEW PREPRINT! Bacteria exhibit astonishing genetic diversity, but where do new genes come from? My best friend Arya Kau (/labmate in the @baym lab) investigates how advantageous deletions can spawn new genes - "deletion-born fusions." 🧵:

Arya (my best friend) does not have social media, he asked me to tweet this for him. But if you want to chat about science (or offer him a job) you can contact him at arya.casa/contact. He’ll (probably) be defending soon!
