We are thrilled to announced the publication of chromosome level genome assemblies and genetic maps for the Caribbean corals, Acropora palmata and Acropora cervicornis. bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Congratulations to @rupa_immanuel for winning best poster at COBRA 2024 in San Diego. (📷: Rupa with @ISBNitinBaliga, pictured at ISB) Rupa's poster reported findings from the recent @NatureComms paper out of the @baliga_lab that she co-authored with @JakeVal_SysBio.

Digital Microbe: a genome-informed data integration framework for team science on emerging model organisms nature.com/articles/s4159…

@JakeVal_SysBio, @ISBNitinBaliga & @baliga_lab colleagues found that gene mutations selected over a relatively short timeframe in the two microbes led to distinct functions. @natcomms isbscience.org/news/2024/09/0…

New paper in @NatureComms reveals how ecotypes evolve in syntrophically evolved bacteria and archaea. These findings shed light on the fascinating dynamics of microbial partnerships. Check it out! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Valenzuela et al. show how a few mutations in an evolved community can cause niche-differentiated ecotypes with interplay that improves productivity of the interacting community across sediment & groundwater subpopulations. @JakeVal_SysBio @ISBNitinBaliga nature.com/articles/s4146…

Project part of Global Search Initiative with @reefgenomics @BarshisLab @IllanaBaums @LineKBay @JakeVal_SysBio @ISBNitinBaliga

Drs. @ISBNitinBaliga and James Park at @isbsci looked at transcriptional regulatory networks to uncover the mechanisms behind treatment resistance for #glioblastoma, an aggressive form of #BrainCancer. 📝 @ScienceAdvances: bit.ly/4eYrPTY 📰: bit.ly/3zHhgEY

📣 Excited to share our new @ICRSCoralReefs Editorial led by @JDReimer and @reefgenomics!

Position still open: lbl.taleo.net/careersection/…

wow, just got the research.com Ecology&Evolution in Germany Leader Award 2nd time in a row (2023&2024) .. world ranking 874->modesty reminder :) .. still happy&feels good @UniKonstanz !possible only cos work&publish w/ so many great peeps/minds! research.com/u/christian-r-…

many things happening, first things first: the children book I'm part of is out: "Kira Coral and the disappearing colors of the sea" .. more timely than ever following the announcement of 4th Global Coral Bleaching :( , still a story of realism and hope **! @UniKonstanz

Our new work on the Glioblastoma regulatory network offers insights into personalized treatment approaches and biomarker development. #GBM #Glioma #PrecisionMedicine @ISBNitinBaliga @isbsci @APatelBrainSurg @baliga_lab medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

An @isbsci study unveils important insights & actionable protocols into providing equitable #STEM experiences for high school students from historically marginalized communities. More details at isbscience.org/news/2024/03/0…. @claudiamludwig @ISBNitinBaliga @JakeVal_SysBio @SystemsEd

new work led by @Ronen_Liberman as a research visit to my lab doi.org/10.1007/s00338… in a nutshell: whatever zoox are there will be taken up by coral larvae, while host ID determines what is kept .. you can use coral larvae as a sieve to assay env. zoox diversity! @UniKonstanz

happy new year y'all! very happy w/ new pub @OxfordJournals Bioinformatics "Coracle - a machine learning framework to identify bacteria associated with continuous variables" doi.org/10.1093/bioinf… using AI to identify bacteria relevant for host biology @KAUST_News @UniKonstanz

I’ve can’t say enough about this guy, great scientist and collaborator, and an even better mentor for young students in STEM. @thaasophobia congrats you deserve it!!!

It's #CoralsWeek. Coral reefs are in trouble, but there is hope. We are invested in research that will help corals survive increasingly hot ocean temperatures.

We are hiring a Bioinformatics Scientist: if you love big data, coral, analytical frameworks, genomics, computer, programming -> apply and join our lab. Good data needs good data scientists! linkedin.com/jobs/view/3764…
