Uni Oldenburg is starting a genomics facility, and we are looking for a bioinformatician. uol.de/en/job/bioinfo… The position is initially for 3 years, but there are chances of permanency after the 3 years. Please share!

I'm very happy that these just appeared in bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (reports 71 new SAR11 isolates, proposes names for 24 SAR11 genera). biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (investigates the metabolic determinants of habitat specificity in SAR11). Wishing you all a great 2025 😇

The enigmatic, ultrasmall and largely uncultivated Candidate Phyla Radiation bacteria represent a treasure trove of potential discoveries, argues this recent Perspective in PNAS🕵️👇 from the Mougous Lab @UW pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Exciting new preprint! congrats Sarah, Kelle, @merenbey and @mikerappe

I am really happy to share that I successfully defended my PhD thesis on December 13th at @Stockholm_Uni! Thank you everyone who supported me throughout my doctoral studies, and specially my supervisor @sarilog 💙! Keep an eye open, more cool science is coming!
