Julie Perreau, PhD

Back by popular demand for 2024: The #Oscars as things seen in science. First up, Sam Rockwell as a failed PCR

I'm hiring a research technician, to work with🦠,🧬,🐝, among other things. Interested? More information here: cdn.gulbenkian.pt/ciencia/wp-con…

New research on horizontal transfers: Smith et al study #bacteria genes in aphid symbionts via comparative #genomics They find aphid horizontally-acquired genes work independently from one another 🔎 doi.org/10.1371/journa… @yy_yiyuan_li @NancyMoran15 @texas_IB 📷 @jmaperreau

Congrats to @ColleenMulvihi2! Our latest manuscript on the humanization of yeast & GPCRs! Wonderful collaboration with @edward_marcotte & @VincentjjMartin @ut_mbs! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Ruby/McFall-Ngai labs are moving to Carnegie Institution/Caltech in Pasadena. Post-doctoral position open May 1 to study host control of growth and metabolism in symbiotic Vibrio fischeri. Approaches include transcriptomics and epigenetics. Contact Ned Ruby at eruby@hawaii.edu.

Are you sure you know what's in your plasmid? Find even more junk in your plasmids with the newly updated plannotate.barricklab.org Updates include: • new "detailed annotation" mode • expanded databases • bug squashing • overall better annotation

@Stefmcc2 @sjportugal1979 Congrats Steph!!! 🎉

I can't quite believe the PhD is finished! Thank you so much to all my colleagues and friends who've made it possible! Especially @sjportugal1979 for your guidance, support and friendship over the last 4 years!

@SGribaldo @courtney0thomas @NikaPende @PierreSGarcia @BasileBeaud @Rob_Smith743 Amazing!!! 😍

at each PhD defense the group is getting more and more creative 😄 ⁦@courtney0thomas⁩ ⁦@NikaPende⁩ ⁦@PierreSGarcia⁩ ⁦@BasileBeaud⁩ ⁦@Rob_Smith743⁩

Moved to the East Bay last week and today is my first day @berkeley_lights! So excited for this next chapter in my science career.

@christo71213435 @mcsymbiont I should mention that the original plasmids from that paper, which insert a kanamycin resistance cassette in addition to GFP, didn’t work for me. I instead used plasmids from Wiles et al 2018 (pTW56, journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mB…) that additionally inserted a gentamicin cassette.

@christo71213435 @mcsymbiont I used mini-Tn7, so it inserted at the attTn7 site, as in this paper: nature.com/articles/nprot…. Added a PA1 promoter sequence in cloning.

@mcsymbiont I made one with GFP integrated! You would have to contact Nancy and Eli since I’m no longer there, but it is well labeled in my frozen stocks. I could pass them the info.

Dear all, the Gribaldo lab at Institut Pasteur Paris has a post-doctoral position immediately available to work on cell growth and division in our new model Methanobrevibacter smithii. Check out our recent paper. nature.com/articles/s4146… Please RT. Thanks! #archaea #cellbiology

@ProfessorNtuth1 The Origin and Evolution of Bacterial Symbionts of Aphids ✨

@jmaperreau Congratulations😊, what is your title of your PhD thesis?

Defended my PhD in Microbiology! Officially Dr. Julie Perreau now ☺️

@lipidguy The Origin and Evolution of Bacterial Symbionts of Aphids ✨

@jmaperreau Congrats. Thesis title?

Got my nails done for the occasion. With golden aphids 💕

Very excited for this pre-print, describing Pseudofinder, a software for pseudogene-prediction in bacteria and archaea! A really fun project with @mcsymbiont, @FilipHusnik, @pjkeelinglab, and Mitch Syberg-Olsen. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Are you a tinkerer? A problem-solver extraordinaire? Love to chew on big challenges & find creative ways to tackle them? Join us as a scientist in the Arcade program @ArcadiaScience! Talking yourself out of it? Think again, we’re looking for YOU! bit.ly/2WxV2Sx

@MosMicrobes @aldoaarellano @Asommer101 @NicholsHollyL Congrats Kerri!

Submitted the first paper from my lab today!!! Gotta celebrate every single thing, especially the amazing people that help make everything happen 💕@aldoaarellano @Asommer101 @NicholsHollyL Serena Zhao Sebastian Diaz Miguel Medina Munoz
