Evolutionary #genomics of the emergence of #BrownAlgae as key components of coastal ecosystems https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(24)01272-8
"450 million years ago, brown #algae transitioned from unicellular to simple multicellular forms. This was driven by #HorizontalGeneTransfer from #bacteria... Around 200 million years ago, following the breakup of #Pangea, brown algae underwent significant species diversification"

...and the environment selects !
As someone with long term interests in #HorizontalGeneTransfer , I'm really interested in this new research exploring environment-specific selection of #plasmid adaptive traits in #bacteria

I’m a Post-doc at the University of Oxford, working on the evolution of bacterial genomes and pangenomes. I’m interested in bacterial cooperation and ecology, and how these might interact with horizontal gene transfer.
I’m on the train to Manchester for the #MicroEvo22 meeting, where I’ll be presenting a poster (no. 17). Looking forward to seeing lots of you there!
