Speaking today at #CMINorwich26 with @norwichmicro.bsky.social Dr Sally Warring will be sharing the weird and wonderful world of #protists!
Sally's current research focuses on developing high-throughput #singlecell methods for sequencing protists directly from environmental samples.

#Microbial research at Earlham Institute is applying data-driven biology to reveal the hidden diversity of microbial life—from #protists, soil, and #fungi, to communities in our gut—we're working to deepen our understanding of how these complex dynamics shape our health, food, and environment.

Huge news 🌍🧬
The Protist 10,000 Genomes Project is joining the Earth BioGenome Project.
Protists may represent the majority of eukaryotic diversity — yet only a tiny fraction have reference genomes.
Time to change that. 🚀✨

From working on the Darwin #TreeofLife project to improving isolation and #sequencing methods, Dr Sally Warring is studying the diversity of #protists from natural environments to generate large-scale data for lineages underrepresented in the tree of life.

Exploring the microbial "dark matter" just got easier🦠🔬
Most #protists are uncultivated and tiny making electron microscopy a nightmare. A new, low-cost protocol allows single-cell tracking and field prep.

Following up on my last post, here is a glimpse into the culture room, where our protists are now growing and awaiting exploration. Excited to see everything fully operational! As you see, there is still a lot of shelf space to fill - one step at a time. Now back to proposal writing 🫡 #protists
Extrusomes like mucocysts, trichocysts have a bacteria-viral origin, from a bacteria phage gone wrong. Find out how Protistology chapter 21.2 doi.org/10.1016/B978... -461. #protists #protistsonsky #eukaryogenesis

The molecular lab, culture and microscopy rooms, and bioinformatic server, are now fully set up! I’m very grateful for my new position 🎉 We’re already generating results and insights in Koblenz, and I’m looking forward to the years ahead! Now, I "just" need to get the proposals funded 🫡 #protists

Viral infection and protistan predation provide a "top-down" control that structures bacterial communities.
