I would love to do a YouTube show with you on stromatolites/microbialites, origin of life on Earth, and the search for life beyond Earth. Let me know if you game for such a show?

Bat Immunological Training Education (BITE) outreach at Discovery Place today. Around 584 visitors at our booths today. We will continue to educate the public about bats, rodents, and infectious diseases
At Discovery Place every 3rd Saturday of the month. #BITE #teamraw #rawlab
Great job team!
Missing TJ. I have to add him in later for the special edition directors cut

Lots of secondary metabolite clusters, a plasmid that appears to be lost or transferred, weird ANI boundaries, something for everyone!
We were also lucky that our neighbors in the @raw937.bsky.social lab looked for prophage in these endosymbionts. Did not think they would be there but they are!
New from the Carter Lab!
Led by @bhuwanabbot.bsky.social, we sequenced almost twice as many complete genomes as were available for the endofungal Mycetohabitans genus.
Unsurprisingly, they are a little weird, giving us insight into endosymbiotic genome changes 𧬠π¦

You're welcome! Great PI, great lab, and cool system π
We are super happy to find our lovely phage as another layer of complexity in this tripartite system. #carterlab #rawlab

Thank you Mike Cove and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences to host Bat Immunology Training Education (BITE) outreach. We had over 256 people visitors to our booths with preparation of samples.
We will be at NCMNS in Raleigh (our state capital) four times a year (quarterly).
