In collab with @Challis_Group @Hertweck_Lab Congrats all!

We've developed a simple tool to reorient complete microbial genomes to begin with conventional start genes - originally dnaA for bacteria, but also for plasmids, phages & custom genes @viji112 @BeardyMcFace @susiegriggo_ @BhavyaPapudeshi

Successful 18 mile kayaking trip on the river Wye. We had the river to ourselves for most of the journey!

@Dott_Claire I found some of the old methods we used in the lab, crazy to see how things have progressed in the group over the last 9 years!

[Alex Mullins @AlexJMullins]

End of an era, using the lab clean as an excuse to clear my lab bench and drawers - officially no more lab work for me at Cardiff

Next month will be my office desk!

Aircon in our lab is basically non existent at the moment and the corner of the lab by the windows is over 32°C.

So the 30°C incubator is actually COOLING to achieve temperature - definitely need to report this to facilities...

[Alex Mullins @AlexJMullins]

Excited to join the group and get started!

[Challis Group @Challis_Group]

Congratulations to @AlexJMullins who has been awarded one of BBSRC's 22 new Discovery Fellowships. We look forward to hosting him in our Warwick lab for three years from August. https://t.co/XHDIT34xka

@G_A_Thomas @BBSRC Cheers Gareth! 12 years at Cardiff coming to an end

[Alex Mullins @AlexJMullins]

Excited to see the official announcement of the latest @BBSRC Discovery Fellows - and have my name on the list!

Congratulations to all the other fellows starting this year, look forward to meeting you all and starting my research!

@catherinehgn @BBSRC Thank you!

[Alex Mullins @AlexJMullins]

@AlbertiFabrizio @BBSRC Thanks Fabrizio! I'll finally learn some chemical biology to complement the microbiology 😁

[Alex Mullins @AlexJMullins]

@Dott_Claire @BBSRC Thanks! Excited to get started!

[Challis Group @Challis_Group]

Check out the paper by @WISB_SynBioCtre / @ARC_CIPPS research fellow Chuan Huang and @warwickchem colleagues on yeast-mediated cloning and manipulation of natural product BGCs, applied to resolving remaining ambiguities in TMC-86A/eponemycin biosynthesis. https://t.co/NRmY2ogWit
