New research project grant from Vetenskapsrådet (VR)

12/11/2021

 
We are delighted that the Swedish Research Council has granted us funding for four years to continue our work on characterising the endosymbiotic relationship in the marine protist Meringosphaera. This work started off with a scholarship from Carl Tryggers that supported Dr. Vasily Zlatogursky (see here for the paper), and is now being carried out by Megan Sorensen in collaboration with the lab of Dr. Rachel Foster at Stockholm University with a postdoc grant from SciLifeLab. With this new grant, we will be seeking soon a PhD student; stay tuned.

Pretty excited about this new review paper from the lab.

Nailing of Mahwash PhD thesis

Welcome :-) and goodbye :-(

8/9/2021

 
We recently welcomed two new members of the lab: Christina who is visiting us from Aalborg University to develop an environment specific database using long-read amplicon sequencing, and Thomas as a master student who will explore metagenomic datasets for plastid genomes.
But we are also getting ready to see Mahwash graduate with PhD, which will be a very special moment for us (first PhD student of the lab) but also sad because it means that she will soon leave.

Two papers moved from preprint to published

We are happy to announce the publication of two papers, now available at:

A molecular timescale for eukaryote evolution with implications for the origin of red algal-derived plastids

Extremely happy to present our new study with a phylogenomic timescale for the broad evolution of eukaryotes. Link to the OA paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-22044-z

A bunch of us decided to go grilling in the forest :-) It also coincided with the end of Charlie's project with us :-( coincide

Heidi Ottesen has joined the lab for a few months, she will do a project work with us on assembling a bunch of parasite genomes. Welcome Heidi!
