It is worth mentioning that this study was greatly led by the at the time undergrad student @DiegoDLera. Proof of how great #UndergradResearch can be! 🤓

“It’s interesting that we can see changes in coral health through a symbiotic relationship.”🪸
“Not to be dramatic, but the planet is gettin’ toasty & salty.”♨️
“Sometimes it is difficult to tell the significance of ethical science when in the context of current world events.”🌎

🧬Though we identified extensive genome duplication in this genome, #WGD appears inconclusive. Other mechanisms, such as segmental duplication driven by mobile elements (at least partially) may be playing a role.

⚠️Because this is only a draft genome, results are to be interpreted conservatively. We emphasize the need for genomes of higher quality and the use of other omics to address questions explored in this study!

Many novel Asgard genomes, cultivated Lokiarchaeia, new phylogenetic analyses: what insights do these and other recent studies provide into the enigmatic origin of eukaryotes? In this review in @Nature , we discuss the latest findings and open questions: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
