Our paper describing the microbial sources of exocellular DNA in the ocean is now live: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ae… #freeDNA #exocellular #Prochlorococcus #microbialoceanography #SAR11 #vesicles

Paper out now on #hydrothermalvent #protists! We went to the Gorda Ridge in 2019 aboard @EVNautilus to better understand the microbial life at these important deep-sea ecosystems🦠🔬🌊🤓🧵 doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Excited to share our preprint on sequencing extracellular/cellular rRNA to determine lysis in ~17k prokaryotic taxa, led by @kevinzhong2006. Rare taxa show high lysis, consistent with "kill-the-winner". Would love your comments biorxiv.org/content/10.110….

Our most recent article: Environmental dissolved DNA harbors meaningful biological information on microbial community structure - PubMed pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33817941/

Excited to share our new manuscript out in @Ecology_Letters, in collaboration with @weitz_group, @inria_sophia, @phytopk at @SBRoscoff and @PiscoLov at @IMEV_mer. doi.org/10.1111/ele.13…

@ackero9 Tell me your secrets of packing light! Good luck with your next chapter!

Our paper is finally out in @NatureComms! Type IV pili allow marine cyanobacteria increase their drag and position themselves in the water column as well as evade protozoan grazing. @UIBuniversitat @MicrobiologiaU2, @warwickuni and @IMEDEA_UIB_CSIC disq.us/t/3vrmir0

New single cell #genomics study sheds light on the evolutionary history of the oxygenation of the ocean and the most abundant photosynthetic organism on Earth. w/@rstepanauskas ow.ly/pi1K50E2D8Y

@JulesDeep Thanks Julie! One down...

@LinneyMorgan Great to see this out- congrats!

Manuscript published today! Check out the method we used to isolate exocellular “free” DNA from the open ocean. Yes, nearly a THIRD of all the DNA in the ocean is nonliving! Available on LO Methods: aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lo… How did it get there? Who is it coming from? Stay tuned!

@microbidart Thanks Julie! Hopefully folks won’t have to wait too long🤞🏼

@LinneyMorgan Congratulations @LinneyMorgan ! And nice teaser- can’t wait to hear the source. 🧬
