Welcome

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

2/4/2021

 
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

How to use PREQUAL?

10/12/2020

 
A book chapter in Methods in Molecular Biology on how to use PREQUAL, a tool to remove non-homologous residues in phylogenomic datasets: https://link.springer.com/protocol/10.1007/978-1-0716-1036-7_10

Three new members in the lab

16/9/2020

 
We 'recently' welcomed three new members in the lab: Megan Sorensen (post-doc, in collaboration with the lab of main PI Rachel Foster at Stockholm University), Charlie Biwer (MSc student), and Miguel Mendez Sandin (postdoc). We're very excited to have them joined the lab!

Fabien is now tenured

22/5/2020

 
Two good news in the lab recently, Fabien was appointed Associate Professor with tenure (Senior Lecturer) and received his docent in biodiversity informatics.

Mahwash's first main PhD paper accepted in Molecular Ecology Resources

19/11/2019

 
We think that this is a really cool paper, describing a method to use PacBio sequencing to look at microbial eukaryotic diversity.

New review paper from the lab, in full OA

14/10/2019

 
Together with Alastair Simpson and Andrew Roger (Dalhousie University), and Matt Brown (Mississippi State University), Fabien has just published in Trends in Ecology and Evolution a review paper on the tree of eukaryotes. Check it out here: www.cell.com/trends/ecology-evolution/fulltext/S0169-5347(19)30257-5
