As part of @bsc-cns.bsky.social participation at the #MWC26 and #4YN I will be presenting our applications of using hashtag#IA for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer from fecal microbiome profiles (#MiCRC)
Come and meet me on the 4th March at our booth

For 25 years, @icreacommunity.bsky.social has strengthened Catalonia’s research ecosystem by attracting top scientific talent worldwide.
This report by @crisaez.bsky.social for @ara.cat shows why investing in top scientific talent is a decisive research strategy.

And……. The best #sesbe2026 oral presentation award goes to….
Congratulations Moisès!
Moisès Bernabéu from the group presented our work on the origins of the Last Eukaryotic Common Ancestor at #sesbe2026. Multiple interacting partners shaped our ancestor’s genome

Now Edu Ocaña Pallarès, previous postdoc in the group, now PI at UOC presenting the timetree of fungi, calibrated with fossils and HGT. Nice to see #fungi at the paleobiology session in #sesbe2026

Several of us are attending #sesbe2026 in Valencia. Today Saioa Manzano @microbiobits.bsky.social presented her work on evolution of Asgard archea genomes, showing they show a blend of eukaryotic-like and prokaryotic like processes.

4- Diverse background-dependent or mutational-dependent trade-offs revealing complex underlying epistatic interactions.
5- However, Machine Learning models captured key genotype-phenotype links
6- By targeting the trade-off we managed to overcome resistance, pointing to new potential therapies
1- Massive phenotyping enabled by Q-Phast to find stress-related growth defects in hundreds of drug-resistant strains
2- Drug adaptation is not for free: 98% of strains acquired some fitness trade-off in stress conditions.
3- Fluconazole and anidulafungin resistance linked to specific stress
📣 #paper "Uncovering actionable trade-offs of antifungal resistance in a yeast pathogen"
Check out our new publication in @molsystbiol.org where we systematically map stress-related trade-off associated with drug resistance in Candida glabrata (N. glabratus)

Shocked and sad after reading that Peer Bork has passed away. A pioneer and inspiring leader in bioinformatics applied to comparative genomics, protein evolution, function prediction, microbiome, and many other relevant biological questions. His legacy will remain.
