- Reposted by DaganLabWonderful update on the exciting research during our annual Metaorganism CRC retreat, incl. fantastic guest talks by Chris Voolstra and Tommi Vatanen. Many thanks for all contributions! @crc1182.bsky.social @reefgenomics.bsky @daganlab.bsky.social www.metaorganism-research.com/news/crc-118...
- Open W2-Professorship in Plant Genetics at CAU Kiel. See details in the link (English below the German text). Deadline: 19.10.2025. Join our community of evolutionary biologists on the coast of the Baltic sea. www.berufungen.uni-kiel.de/de/dateien/o...
- Happy to introduce SegMantX. Analyzing #plasmid we find that most duplications are MGE-driven. Additional use cases include detection of DNA transfer between replicons and examination of plasmid sequence similarity. Try it out! doi.org/10.1093/molb...
- Reposted by DaganLabPlease RT: We have an opening for a junior group leader position in „Phage Biology & Biotechnology“. www.fz-juelich.de/de/karriere/... Interested candidates are encouraged to contact me via email for further details. @spp2330.bsky.social; @mibinet.bsky.social
- A call for W 3 (full) professorship in Molecular and Evolutionary Zoology is now open at our department. Join our community of evolutionary biologists! Excellent facilities and scientific environment! www.nature.com/naturecareer...
- W 3-Professorship in Benthic Biogeochemistry www.nature.com/naturecareer... An attractive position at our neighbor institute GEOMAR in Kiel!
- Dear colleagues, even if you are short in time, take a look at Figure 5B. Quote from the discussion: "First and foremost, we need to separate the different tasks required of a just accountability system: detection, investigation, and sanctioning."
- Today, our article "The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly" is finally published in PNAS. I hope that it proves to be a wake-up-call for the whole scientific community. reeserichardson.blog/2025/08/04/a...
- Happy to finally share this! Read here about the best strategy the the persistence of low-copy plasmids. @mariosanter.bsky.social @iwangtoknow.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s414...

- Segmental duplications are challenging to detect? Try SegMantX, a local alignment chaining tool to detect diverged #duplications. Applied to enterobacterial plasmids, it uncovers MGE's role in #plasmid #evolution & #antibiotic resistance amplification. Read here: t.co/akfYUYRTdd
- Reposted by DaganLabWe would love feedback on a new NCBI-BLAST service we are launching today: sky-blast.com Under the hood it's the same BLAST executable and databases provided by NCBI, with a replica of the NIH's interface - providing an alternative to the US gov service that's less congested, faster & more reliable
- Imagine that you are a low-copy extra-chromosomal genetic elements invading a host cell. What’s your best strategy to survive? Check our new study of prokaryotic #plasmid for the answer! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... led by Johannes Effe with @iwangtoknow.bsky.social and more! (not on bsky)
