@nicolecoots.bsky.socialReally happy to be here at Bigelow Labs with John Burns and a bunch of my other favorite scientists 😊😊😊 we're hunting for John's pet radiolarian, called Plagiacantha 💕 @burnsajohn.bsky.social @bigelowlab.bsky.social

@smartalyk.bsky.socialDAY 482
SPECIES 482 - Tintinnidium fluviatile
STAGE: Protists
MEDIUM: Arches Paper. Chromatek watercolor, Sakura pen
T. fluviatile (little bell of the river) is a freshwater ciliate that lives inside a soft tube shaped case called a lorica
@multicellgenome.bsky.socialNice work @thibautbrunet.bsky.social et al.
It fits a view we find compelling: the ancestor of animals may have switched between different cell states, and perhaps different multicellular entities.
Maybe we should reconstruct an ancestral life cycle, not an ancestral cell type.
@smartalyk.bsky.socialDAY 481
SPECIES 481 - Trachelius ovum
STAGE: Protists
MEDIUM: Arches Paper. Chromatek watercolor, Sakura pen
T. ovum (Neck egg) is a large freshwater ciliate shaped like an egg or balloon with a small snout. first described by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg in 1831

@multicellgenome.bsky.socialInteresting piece by @quantamagazine.org on how transposable elements went from "junk DNA" to drivers of genome innovation.
Could this negotiation between selfish elements and host genomes have contributed to the origin of animal gene regulation?
Holozoans may help us find out. 🧬 #Protistsonsky
@multicellgenome.bsky.socialWe have a new branch in the family tree of animals: Atreyea- a previously unrecognized lineage among the closest unicell relatives of animals.
Led by @konsmitsi.bsky.social & @freejakoba.bsky.social together with a fantastic team of collaborators.
@multicellgenome.bsky.socialVery grateful to have been part of such a special and emotional day celebrating Sara Bray & Nick Brown at their Retirement Symposium.
Two outstanding scientists and, even more importantly, truly wonderful people.
Thank you, Sara and Nick, for such a memorable day! #protistsOnSky
