The Chisholm Lab is hiring an entry level bioinformatics technician! If you have prior experience analyzing multi-omics datasets and are interested in learning more about Prochlorococcus (who isn't?!), please search and apply for MIT job 21923. Working remotely is a possibility.
The Chisholm Lab is hiring! If you are looking for a entry level technician position and want to join a group researching the ecology of marine microorganisms, please apply through the MIT careers site (search for job 21106).
Manuscript published today! Check out the method we used to isolate exocellular “free” DNA from the open ocean. Yes, nearly a THIRD of all the DNA in the ocean is nonliving! Available on LO Methods: aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lo… How did it get there? Who is it coming from? Stay tuned!
What microbes come along when we isolate Prochlorococcus? Find out in our paper “Microbial diversity of co-occurring heterotrophs in cultures of marine picocyanobacteria” rdcu.be/cda9P
