More than a decade since CRISPR-Cas9 knock in came on the scene, it's remained underutilized in emerging models. Using transposase, and a split-FP system, we built an optimized knock in system for use in the genetically-enabled urchin, Lytechinus pictus. bit.ly/4wswLsd

learning about the microbial dimension of human life appeared to strengthen people’s psychological relationship with the natural world. This matters because nature connectedness is associated with: - improved wellbeing - stronger pro-environmental behaviours 3/

What are the biggest open questions in #microbiome and #symbiosis research? At #CSEE, we’re running a symposium on disturbance, adaptation, and the parasitism–mutualism continuum—and we want to foster discussion around these questions. Share your questions (& this post) ↓ forms.gle/huhvTgZCWVrS...

Big questions in symbiosis and microbiome research

As organizers of the upcoming CSEE symposium “Microbial symbiosis: disturbance, adaptation, and the parasitism–mutualism continuum”, we want this to be more than just a series of talks—we want it to s...

Carlotta Kück from @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social showed host species-specific symbiont gene expression: One Caribbean beach, one symbiont, multiple host species, this symbiont may function differently depending on the host it associates with! In ISMEJ @isme-microbes.bsky.social tinyurl.com/p7abc25f

Host species-specific gene expression by a widespread and flexible chemosynthetic symbiont

Abstract. Associations with microbial symbionts shape the ecology and evolution of almost all eukaryotes. One of their defining features is their specifici

@jillianlewis.bsky.social and @spencernyholm.bsky.social were also so very kind to write a Primer on our @plosbiology.org article: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

A mother’s gift: Provisioning of plastid-derived structures into eggs promotes invertebrate development and dispersal

Eggs released in the environment are at risk from many threats. This Primer discusses how plastid-like carotenoid crystals benefit larval survival and trans-oceanic dispersal in sea urchin eggs.

The @crc1182.bsky.social and @geomarkiel.bsky.social were so very kind to put out a joint press release about our recent @plosbiology.org paper. Here is the one from the @crc1182.bsky.social: www.uni-kiel.de/en/details/n...

A mother’s gift: plastid-derived structures help sea urchin development and disperse

Sea urchins can pass on certain components of eukaryotic plastids across generations to improve their fitness and geographic distribution

New paper entitled "Sea urchin eggs contain a plastid-derived structure that contributes to their development" is now out in @plosbiology.org! Here is a summary... journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
