Our paper "Gene ancestries reveal diverse microbial associations during eukaryogenesis.” is finally out in Nature. Eukaryogenesis was likely a gradual process shaped by multiple microbial partners and virus-mediated gene transfer, rather than a single binary symbiosis. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Fantastic news for the lab! We've just been awarded a Wellcome Discovery award and will be recruiting at postdoc and research assistant level shortly. We're excited by this project that aims to understand how metabolism influences male germline development. Please forward to any interested people!
