Interested in Acinetobacter baumannii insertion sequences 🧬🦠🧫

[David F @fozzz21]

So much for a short project… but our work over the last few years has seen the light of day!

Turned into a nice project that taught me a lot, in particular about DNA supercoiling.

[David Grainger @GraingerLab]

Well done @mulecc - your PhD work just published 😀https://t.co/8FF3Q00YGu
I think we've only scratched the surface with this... H-NS allowing bacteria to direct their own evolution. Exciting times ahead...

[Charles Cooper @mulecc]

After finally recovering from celebrations, a big thank you to all of @GraingerLab for helping me get my PhD, and thank you to Carsten Kröger and @JessicaMABlair for examining ☺️

[David Grainger @GraingerLab]

Really excited to share this. A massive effort from @mulecc.

We find that H-NS isn't just for gene silencing. All this time it's been busy capturing transposons, and inserting them into bound DNA.

We think there are some big implications (1/4)

It was decided this would have been so not Rainbow Rhythms, so Peep Show will remain on Netflix.

Excited to be doing some public engagement on Saturday at #CoCoMAD with the @Micro_Mad team! Please retweet and give us a follow to keep up with us over the weekend!

The @GraingerLab is finally back from the GRC Mechanisms of Microbial Transcription conference. Learned loads, met some great folk and saw abit of Boston.

[Sam @SamBenedict5]

Catch me tomorrow at 12:00 at the Tuberculosis session talking about arabinose, phage, and and new GHs!

Happy to announce my first, first author paper has been published in @OUPBioinfo. Our software, ChemGAPP, is a comprehensive analytic package for chemical genomics datasets. Check it out! Thanks to @BanzhafLab, @DaneshMoradi and @mgalactus. https://t.co/2l1K2cBJZd

[David Grainger @GraingerLab]

Latest paper from the lab, this one's the culmination of @lucas_walker92's PhD. He describes how two TFs can bind the same DNA site to regulate in V. cholerae.

A simple mechanism for integration of quorum sensing and cAMP signalling in V. cholerae https://t.co/qkORz6oTCz

[Manuel Banzhaf @BanzhafLab]

@Hannahmayyd suffered that we don't have to! ChemGAPP is a very easy to use software package that people without sophisticated programming skills can analyse their chemical genomics data. Check it out.

Went n won a poster prize at the Molecular Microbiology conference. So answered a couple of questions about it:

[Charith Perera @CharithDoesMRI]

Hypertension is a risk factor for neurodegeneration, and the choroid plexus may play a critical role in this process. But how can we use MRI to look at the damage non-invasively? Find out more today: https://t.co/GQ3JPQg9is

[Rob Moran @pRobM91]

🧵on the latest @DETECTIVE_AMR manuscript, which might be my favourite so far. It's about a quirky group of plasmids that accumulate and disseminate all sorts of accessory genes in Acinetobacter... 1/20 https://t.co/Yzid2Q5Y5z

[Arvind Narayanan @random_walker]

I mis-clicked on one of my 150 open tabs and it happened to be a tab that's been open since 2019 with a paper that has a solution to the exact research problem I've been puzzling over today. This is the moment I've been waiting for and I've decided to never close any tabs again

[Dr Lilly Cummins @LillyCummins_]

First bit of work from my PhD looking at sequence type pangenomes and how they vary in structure and content - very pleased to have this out! 🥳 @alanmcn1 @DrRebeccaJHall @jomcinerney @chris_h_connor
