Really excited to share my first paper from the @JohnWhitneyIIDR lab, alongside an amazing grad student, Polina. We identify a chaperone family required for the folding of a domain of T7SS toxins, and solve the structure of the chaperone-toxin complex. https://t.co/qjxFWmojEz

[José R Penadés @jrpenades]

Excited to share our latest work with @AlbertoMarina14 and @AvigdorEldar labs, where we decipher the mechanism by which SPβ-like phages sense the SOS response to control the lysis–lysogeny switch. https://t.co/rYtcKeJu6f

Exciting to see a plethora of toxin/antitoxin systems (e.g., retrons, type II) identified in P. aeruginosa genomic islands with limited representation in DefenseFinder, etc.

🚨PhD Opportunity Alert🚨 Join me,@DrSuzieHumphrey and Donal Wall to investigate how environment shapes anti-phage defences & prophage–prophage conflict in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Apply here: https://t.co/jVVmyuXaiT

Latest BREX story from the lab - turns out there is a nuclease after all! Congrats to Jenny Readshaw and the whole team, including wonderful collabs Barry Stoddard, Brett Kaiser and @DarrenSmithdx. @NAR_Open @NEBiolabs @DurBiol https://t.co/AsZjImMSXW

A broad-spectrum, contact-independent antimicrobial that is neither a nonribosomal peptide nor a BGC- assembled small molecule from @JakeColautti @StephenRG97 @JohnWhitneyIIDR

[Phage Directory @phagedirectory]

.@jrpenades (@imperialcollege) and colleagues published a new review on #phage satellite genetics, ecology and #evolution, diving into how these elements impact bacterial evolution and virulence.

Some really cool work from @JakeColautti in the @JohnWhitneyIIDR lab on a family of contact-independent, broad spectrum protein toxins that target Gram-positive bacteria.

We have extended the deadline for this! If you are passionate about phage-bacteria interactions, check this out and join us!

[Stephen Garrett @StephenRG97]

It’s not too late to apply for a postdoc position with Giusy in Glasgow! Super supportive lab doing some really exciting science!

[Giuseppina Mariano @GiusyM1990]

Still time to apply! Join us in Glasgow—be part of my team. Closing date: Feb 24th

[Tim Blower @BlowerLab]

The lab is now up and running at New England Biolabs @NEBiolabs! I'm looking for a postdoc to study phage defence systems. If you'd like the academic freedom to publish but the resources of industry, then take a look 🤓😃 https://t.co/v5V3STDowa

[Giuseppina Mariano @GiusyM1990]

Love phage-bacteria interactions, anti-phage systems, and a sprinkle of evolutionary biology? There’s still time to apply and join our team in Glasgow at @UofGSii !
