Do you call CRISPRs in bacterial genomes or MAGs using CRT (or a tool based on CRT)? Read my blog post on a common #CRISPR annotation error and a fix with #Rstats:

.@AntaniJo (@Yale) etal developed a microscopy-based technique to measure #phage attachment to bacterial cells. This method provides an alternative to the century-old Phage Adsorption Assay. Feel free to reach out with any questions: [email protected].

Finally, the preprint on my postdoc work from the past 3 years! With mentorship from @PaulTurnerLab and @EmonetLab, I developed a microscopic technique to measure attachment of viruses #phages to bacterial cells @YalePhage @QbioYale .

Hey #Evol2024! Interested in the evolutionary ecology of host-parasite interactions? Come check out the presentations by my amazing trainees, listed below!

I'll give a brief preview of each presentation below 🧵

I am absolutely delighted to be joining the University of British Columbia next year as an Assistant Professor @ZoologyUBC.

We will study social evolution in viruses.

Pangene now published in Bioinformatics: https://t.co/lqGhzDJ938. In addition to showcasing applications (see the 17q21.31 inversion below), we also reviewed the theoretical formulation of bidirected graphs and discussed the definition and the finding of "bubbles" in such graphs.

Benchmarking is ongoing (wait for the preprint coming soon!), but comparing to Pharokka, on 179 genomes assembled with @viji112's Phables (https://t.co/RZ7UrGiS3E), Phold dramatically increases the annotation rate (5/n)

💥Our new preprint!

Transposon ADDICTION in development!

Gag proteins of endogenous retroviruses are required for zebrafish development

Study led heroically by @sylviaandbu & @JN_Wells

This work has transformed my view of transposons, no less! 🧵1/n
