Living+evolving inside insect cells for millions of years can drive bacterial genomes to mind-boggling extremes. New paper in @GenomeBiolEvol asks what bacterial transcription looks like at the extremes of genome reduction (<200kb), genome fragmentation (40+ chromosomes/genomes!), and gene dosage imbalance (1:100+).

This is my first first-author paper and the first of my PhD w/ @mcsymbiont. I'm thrilled to have it finally out, + in one of my fav journals! Check it out!
