One benefit of this methodology is that we isolated DNA directly from viral particles, cutting down on the “viral noise” often seen in metagenomic studies by deprecated prophage regions within bacteria. More work is needed to verify the host + lifestyle predictions of the vOTUs

Thrilled to share my first paper out of grad school. We sequenced dental wastewater (yes, the stuff collected during teeth cleaning) and found previously unknown bacteriophages harbored in the human mouth. #bacteriophages #phages #microbiology https://t.co/Xe8JWUHk5Z

Under the TEM, filamentous phage-like particles were everywhere, about 2x more abundant than the typical head-tail phages. But our pipeline only produced 3 Inoviridae (filamentous) genomes. We're probably still undercounting this group by a lot in most environments

We had a fantastic time at our School of Biological Sciences Retreat at Callaway Gardens this weekend. Thank you for joining us! #gatech #Biology #Callaway

@zhangmengshi1 @whiteleylab Congrats Dr. Zhang! Can't wait to see what you do next!

@Jamesrgurney I love it! What paper is this amazing figure from?

a bedtime story ... 😊

Me: ok I’ll just repeat that simple experiment and I’ll be one step closer to finishing that paper. It worked last time so should work this time

The experiment:

How to Maintain an RNase-free Lab. "Human skin and body fluids such as saliva, tears and mucus, can contain RNases (so don't cry over your samples)."
Sound advice!❌😢

Wonderful to have @AlitaBurmeister visit and give a seminar at GT! (@GTBiology @GaTechMicrobes)

🌟 Can you treat #acne with... #phages?! 🌟

🔬 I'm very happy to share an update on an acne treatment research I'm leading at the School of Pharmacy, Queen’s University Belfast, UK. This project is part of the Innovate UK funded program #ICURe Discover.

Just set up my account on the blue place! Same username :-)

Two super seminars today @SIPBS_Strath today from @CarliRoush and @microbemelange of @GeorgiaTech - it’s been great to host @whiteleylab and his students over the last month with @lmr_1994 & @gailmcconnell
