Thrilled to share our discovery of a new horizontal gene transfer mechanism: tail-less cf-PICIs hijack free phage tails extracellularly, forming infectious chimeric virions that drive both intra- and inter-species transfer among bacteria. @jonaszpatkowski @jrpenades @CostaT_Lab

Habreis visto esta foto de las vacas de mi padre en muchos sitios con diferentes historias y mucha especulación -como en el tuit que cito-. Os cuento como se produjo este milagro en este artículo: https://t.co/s7lBqSqZXD

New mechanism of gene transfer! With @CostaT_Lab @CBRB_Imperial, cf-PICIs form tail-less elements that, once released, spread among different bacterial species by hijacking tails from various phages. More exciting news soon! https://t.co/AItq6UQAAc

Tail assembly interference is a common strategy in bacterial antiviral defenses

Latest from the lab! PICI and prophage-encoded Tai proteins protect cells by blocking phage tail assembly. Prophages counter with a mechanism allowing tail formation after induction. Defence and counter-defence genes are organised for expression. https://t.co/IrsWiP30AL

Really happy to see this out!

Thrilled to share my first first-author paper is out today @NatureComms !https://t.co/yNjAgA5KUo We discovered a new anti-phage system family, Tail assembly inhibition (Tai), found in 17 species.

One more week to apply for #PhD and #postdoc positions in our group! Apply if you’re interested in bacterial #generegulation and host-#microbiome interactions.
And… Have I mentioned that Valencia is one of the most livable cities in the world? 👀

[何灵尘 Lingchen He @Lingchen_H]

Yes, I was luckly in a great conference #PVA2023 with a talk on PICIs. It is quite nice for me to have a gooood time with so many experts on phages/virus. Thanks everyone for help, especially the PVA Organising Committee and my cryptic bosses @AlfredFillol @jrpenades
