Tweets from Nancy Moran’s talk at #UCDavis on "Two sides of symbiosis" storified

I went to a talk yesterday by Nancy Moran at UC Davis.  Nancy is one of my science heroes.  I have worked on a few projects with her and am just a big fan of her body of work on symbioses.  I have written about her work her on this blog many times before including

• Holy lateral transfer batman; amazing story on fungal to aphid transfer from Nancy Moran
• Sharpshooters, dual symbioses and new ways to sequence a genome
• Why endosymbionts rule – see #PLoS Genetics paper on origin of an alternative genetic code
• Aphid-bacterial symbiosis in more detail, and in the New York Times
• You could call it symbiomics (but please do not)… but whatever name you use, this is $^@#&* so cool.
• World’s Smallest Genome of a Cellular Organism?
• Glassy winged sharpshooter symbionts

I am an evolutionary biologist and a Professor at U. C. Davis. (see my lab site here). My research focuses on the origin of novelty (how new processes and functions originate). To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis View all posts by Jonathan Eisen
