PhD student in Bioinformatics - metatranscriptomics to get better acquainted with sea surface microeukaryotes in the North Sea
Pinned
How can absolute expression estimates better reflect microbial abundance and activity across space and time? We found out the hard way that relative gene expression measures can be misleading in metatranscriptomic studies. In this perspective we share the lessons we learned! doi.org/10.1093/isme...

Collision of the Stena Immaculate and Solong in the North Sea could become a major oil spill. According to Kpler data, the tanker left Corinth carrying 128k barrels of refined crude. It doesn't appear to have offloaded prior to being hit by the Solong.

I am looking for an ERC-funded postdoc to work on spatial proteomics of microalgae (red algae and glaucophytes). The ideal candidate will have experience with mass spec and data analysis (R), but above all a keen interest in broad eukaryote evolution and protists #protistsonsky (1/2)
