The Chase lab at UWinnipeg is looking for a #MSc or #PhD student student starting in Autumn 2026. Key topics are #viruses and #microalgae in Lake Winnipeg. Check out the link for the ad and please follow directions carefully. uwinnipeg.ca/biology/gradua… #phdchat #academictwitter

Just updated taxid-changelog. Now you can track each NCBI Taxonomy taxon's detailed changes in the past 10 years😮😱😃 This is the proudest work I've done in my past 10+ year academic career, cause it's useful and funny but no one else did this, haha. github.com/shenwei356/tax…

I want to also take the opportunity to mention the life's work of Christelle Desnues, and dedicate this paper to her. Christelle was a fantastic mentor, a brilliant researcher, and a kind person. These qualities helped bring this paper to life. Thank you, always.

Giant viruses can impact industrial scale algal culturing practices. Check out our paper for more info on the virosphere found in an open faced culturing pond (spoilers: we also found polinton-like viruses) #sustainability #viruses #algae journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10.11…

Time of day at which an eukaryotic HAB host becomes infected by a giant virus plays a role in how infection progresses. academic.oup.com/femsec/article…

Many of us want to detect & infer roles of giant virus in metagenomes but are limited by available tools and bioinfo expertise. BEREN is a modular, one-stop-shop for giant virus & virophage identification in metaG datasets. Latest from our lab, spearheaded by @Benjamin_Minch !

Congratulations to @TN_Marine_Micro for his election as a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) Academy of Science. This recognition is the RSC’s highest honor in areas of arts, social sciences, humanities, and science. @royalsociety bit.ly/3XPFDKh

Excitement is building for the 12th iteration of the Aquatic Virus Workshop to be held at the fantastic Oceanologic Observatory in Banyuls-sur-Mer, France during 5-9 May 2025. We have a great lineup of speakers, and a nascent website: avw12.sciencesconf.org/?lang=en

Timing is everything - even the simple task of measuring growth rate for phytoplankton can be tricky. An example from harmful algae (and their virus) and insights into how this effects export. Great teamwork from @atruchon_virus @ee_chase @ashtonrstark frontiersin.org/journals/micro…

"The history of science teaches us that we should be open-minded and recognize the value of different perspectives. Debate is healthy" Super nice read on the history of symbiosis by John Archibal @PLOSBiology journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

👏Congrats to PhD Candidate Sonja Rose who's first thesis chapter is now out in Sci Advances! An exciting globally important heterotrophic bacterial nitrogen fixer now isolated and characterized!🦠🌊: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 📷: Cand. Thalassolituus haligoni (shown in purple)

Now available! You can get faster, more focused search results with our new BLAST core nucleotide (core_nt) database. The core_nt database will become the default in August 2024. Learn more: ow.ly/o0JP50SFxS6 #NCBICGR

Our paper on eukaryotic and prokaryotic viruses in deep sea brine pools is out now in ISME comms! Go check out the extreme viruses in this unique environment through geochemical and biological lens. academic.oup.com/ismecommun/art…

Are you interested discovering novel microbial pathogens and viruses? We're looking for a postdoctoral fellow to join our New Lineages of Life group: jobs.lbl.gov/jobs/postdocto… @BerkeleyLab

.@MicrobialOcean, Alastair Simpson and I are seeking a postdoc to work with us on metabolomics of a fascinating protist-bacterial symbiosis in the Anaeramoebae! drive.google.com/file/d/1dIXX7z…

New paper led by @Tm_Pitot on giant viruses in polar lakes! Cool collaboration @simroux_virus @frederikschu @CulleyAlex @cath__girard @JosephineZRapp! #giantviruses #viruses #polarresearch #arctic #antarctic #phylogeny academic.oup.com/ismecommun/art…

@ManuelMart_79 Had the same experience (2-3 weeks ago) with the exact same message. I previously coauthored a paper in EM and thought the current manuscript would similarly be a good fit. The caps lock seemed a tad overkill haha.
