Is it “winner-takes all” when the simplest living things compete? Check out my fresh publication on phage coexistence in Science and a thread below🧵 https://t.co/3qQNKT0LVd
.@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].

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)

We're looking for a motivated PhD student with a background in computational biology to join our team. You will be involved in exciting projects that aim to reveal the role of microbiome in human health.
1/ 🧵 Thrilled to share work of @EligoBio just published in @Nature ! We show proof of principle results of efficient base editing performed on E. coli directly in the mouse gut 🦠💡 #Microbiome#SyntheticBiology https://t.co/efTztuluN9
📣Calling all #microbiome enthusiasts!
join our eco-genomic team @bengurionu to unravel microbial community secrets. We're a fun, collaborative group seeking a talented #postdoc & #PhD with #microbiology or #bioinformatics experience. Be part of the microbiome revolution!🔬🦠🧬
Very excited to announce I’ll be joining @UofSCBiology as an assistant research professor through the Bridge to Faculty program! Looking forward to using this time to prep for the opening of the Lewis Lab in 2 years😊. #newpi
Pseudomonas partners with Pf phage to build biofilms and promote antibiotic tolerance. Here, we explore how. Congrats to Kevin Chen, @cai_pam@PRSecor, @heilshornlab@ASpakowitz@ebburgenerMD and a terrific team https://t.co/hiZX689jFT
I am super excited to share our latest manuscript on the origin and renewal of the gut lacteal musculature from villus myofibroblasts! 🎉

💥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
