Hey, our phototrophic yeast paper is now out in Current Biology. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… This work was led by grad student Autumn and research scientist Tony Burnetti, and we had help from Center for Microbial Dynamics and Infection' Carina Baskett.

We’re hiring - for anyone interested in mixing evolution with cell biology, I promise the #DeyLab has something for you - from cytoskeletal dynamics in weird protists sampled directly from the ocean to mitotic rewiring in engineered, lab evolved yeasts evonuclab.org

We are excited to share our preprint titled "Analysis and culturing of the prototypic crAssphage reveals a phage-plasmid lifestyle" biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A big thanks to my coauthors:Angela Hickey Ivan Liachko 🇺🇦 Gavin Sherlock and Ami Bhatt

#PreprintAlert🚨Please share. Our latest #Ichthyosporean #EvoDevo story, led by M. Olivetta Chandni Bhickta nicolas chiaruttini & in co. with John Burns @burnsajohn. **𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 #𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗿𝘆𝗼** LINK ➡️tinyurl.com/MultiCSg Buckle up for a LONG 🧵(sorry)

Our group's first paper: We track cell cycle and cell growth through entire life cycles in a single-cell model organism using a combination of real and AI-generated images. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1/n My postdoc work on the evolution of mitosis in Ichthyosporea Gautam Dey Omaya Dudin🍉¦ 🦠¦🔬¦ Schwab Yannick groups is out nature shorturl.at/KPRQw Art by Nirupa Rao contrast fungal-like closed with animal-like open mitosis. Why do cells carry out mitosis in different ways?

Got up at stupid o’clock this morning, but am looking forward to the #FASEB Yeast Chromosome Biology and Cell Cycle meeting, as well as my 1st time in Winnipeg! Will be talking about Jana Helsen’s work - biorxiv.org/content/10.110… - look forward to an exciting meeting!

Meet Jana Helsen, one of EMBL’s first Bridging Excellence Fellows! She discusses her experience as a joint postdoc at EMBL Heidelberg and Stanford University, her newest study, and her passion for cover art! Read more here: embl.org/news/people-pe…

💫NEW: Experimental evolution & #chromosome engineering probe the link between #karyotype changes and #CellDivision machinery and show that spindle organization dictates the available trajectories for karyotype evolution. Jana Helsen Gavin Sherlock Gautam Dey nature.com/articles/s4155…

Excited to see this out! 🎉 I enjoyed working with Mylan, Thibaut Brunet & Gautam Dey on this review about microvilli that - structurally defines microvili - explores their diversity, & links to filopodia - uses phylogenetics to uncover how microvillar proteins evolved 1/2
