The Secret Lives of Microbial Mobile Genetic Elements is out in Philosophical Transactions of the @royalsociety Royal Society B! Edited by me, @ellieevolves, and @surt_lab. 📗 Read our introduction here: https://t.co/jiE4p3avLb

[Brian John Arnold @BrianJohnArnold]

Review on HGT in bacteria, with a focus on progress/challenges of identifying adaptive transfers. Inspiring to work with @I_TingH and @BillHanage on this! https://t.co/wnfkOegysg

Our review on HGT and adaptive evolution in bacteria is out! https://t.co/N6ab0GxTNx
Really enjoyed working on this with @BrianJohnArnold and @BillHanage

How does the shuttling and shuffling of genes interact with selection? Bottom line: we should be prepared to be surpised

[Bill Hanage @BillHanage.bsky.social @BillHanage]

It's not widely known outside academic circles, but bacteria are capable of horizontal gene transfer - transmitting genetic material btwn lineages and even species. I wrote this with Brian Arnold and @I_TingH about the consequences for evolution https://t.co/2lvyiOa6Jz

[José R Penadés @jrpenades]

Here it is! I'm not sure chromosomes can be considered MGEs. What is clear is that the transfer of chromosomal genes via lateral transduction is more efficient than the transfer of classical MGEs. Our results raise questions about our definition of MGEs.

Exciting collaboration with the Eldar Lab (@TasneemBareia, @AvigdorEldar), where we show how mobile genetic elements sense susceptible neighbors through short-range communication and trigger horizontal gene transfer in response. https://t.co/4f3Emd8Ho8

[Martin Jahn @martintjahn]

I'm beyond excited to announce that our article with @CRC1182 and @BEDutilh is now online @ISMEJournal!

Be prepared for amazing #phage #eukaryote #microbiome interplay in #sponges and a new #CLEM imaging approach to spot #viruses in animals. Trailer⬇️

I'm happy to announce #anvio v7, with the code name 'hope' after 'Hope E. Hopps' 🎉

Anvi'o 'hope' comes with a myriad of improvements nad new toys to help you resolve your New Year's Resolutions that require integrated multi-omics 😇 https://t.co/KcNIuh2tpQ

Ideal for engineering minded biologists or biologically minded engineers. Please retweet.

This is great. 😎😷

While many microbiologists are not expert bioinformaticians, they are experts in the organisms they study ... Here, we introduce Bactopia, an integrated suite ... for flexible analysis of Illumina genome sequencing projects of bacteria from the same taxon.

Ever gotten a bunch of viral contigs, and wondered: "Mmnnh which ones are interesting, and which ones are just useless" ? Well, wonder no more: @SNayfach has you covered with CheckV, which automatically detect host contamination and predict completeness of viral contigs \o/

What do you expect evolution to look like in a microbial population? Check out our new study offering a view of that over 1000 generations in yeast in the lab.
