Is a healthy microbiome one that is rich in phages? Excited to share this work with @bkoskella & @DominiqueHolta1 where we apply ecological theory on the role of parasites in ecosystems & test viromes as signatures of microbiome health 🦠 https://t.co/BjCfr87s3J
One week left to apply! 📢If your a postdoc interested in MPMI and science communication join us as an Assistant Feature Editor. Want to know more? Reach out to our current AFEs @Amelia_Bacteria @SivaSankariIMS@manishbiotechi1@TiffSMak@DominiqueHolta1

It's not just on Thanksgiving that we say thanks to our mentors!
In this episode, we hear from Dr. Amie Fornah Sankoh on the importance of mentorship and disability justice in science - https://t.co/i6jbNrU5p2

🦠 New preprint 🦠
Really happy to see this up on bioRxiv - my 1st as senior author & Lina’s 1st as first author 🎉 a double whammy.
📄 Antibiotic resistance alters the ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to invade the respiratory microbiome https://t.co/rv3LjtVhda (1/n)
I'm really looking forward to our next #WhatsNewinMPMI! Hyelim Jeon and Cecile Segonzac will talk about their review on the role of the endomembrane system in the response to microbes from the latest @MPMIjournal Focus Issue. Join us at 8pm EST 11/13 - 9am 11/14 in Beijing!
We just updated our story about defence system synergism, https://t.co/dRVLHj7V3g . We teamed up with @Eugene_Koonin and @garushyants, and analysed >40,000 genomes to show that defence systems often non-randomly co-occur in bacterial genomes.
Not just any host will do: iPHoP plays matchmaker for bacteriophage viruses by bringing several approaches into the same workflow. The result is a genus-level host prediction tool that draws on multiple virus-host prediction methods.

Final transition from morphology to #genome -based #virus#taxonomy after formal removal of Podoviridae,
Myoviridae & Siphoviridae!
4 Orders
47 families
98 subfamilies
1199 genera
3600 species
Finally a taxonomy reflecting the awesome #phage diversity
