Looking back at a highlight from 2025: Great energy at the 2025 SALTO Symposium we organized at the MPI for Marine Microbiology! Researchers from Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, and Australia joined us in Bremen to explore the evolutionary links between specialized bacteria and their algal hosts.
The average nucleotide identity (ANI) underpins how we map microbial diversity, compare species, and connect genomes to ecology.
I wrote a short piece reflecting on the discovery and significance of this metric (and really enjoyed digging into the context and story behind it!) #microsky 🧬
Welcome @ecologicalgenomics.bsky.social – we are excited to read and share your news here! 😀👉🦠🌊🔬
Hello, world! 👋
We are the Ecological Genomics group at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology 🌊🧬🔬
Our group officially started in April 2025, and we’ll be using this space to share updates about our research, team, and publications.
Stay tuned! 🚀
