Gran día para pensar en la superioridad de los plásmidos.

@NicolasRay_ Hola no te conozco pero Nostos no necesita subtítulos, las pocas líneas que tiene están en una lengua que no existe, solo las inventaron para la película y no se supone las entiendas. La puedes encontrar en YouTube pero también la han compartido por acá algunas cuentas.

[Fernando Rossine @fernpizza]

So happy that I can finally share the results of my first postdoc paper with @baym!! Turns out plasmids are an amazing system to study multi-scale evolution and we can track within-cell and between-cell dynamics! Here’s a photo of plasmids competing inside cells in a colony (1/n)

[Rafa Pinilla-Redondo @rafapinilla92]

Excited to share our latest collab with Wenyuan Han's Lab! 🚨 Bacteria use dITP as an immune signal to activate NAD+-depleting effectors. Phages counter immunity by destroying dAMP (dITP precursor)! 💥🧬

New paper from the lab. The brilliant @norapyenson led a multi-lab collaboration to investigate the consistent formation of stable phage communities infecting a single clonal host population. She explains the gist of it beautifully in the quoted thread. Congrats Nora et al

The inaugural Alma Dal Co School on Collective Behavior will be in Venice (Sep 29-Oct 4, 2025). This unique school honors Alma (1989-2022), whose brilliant work bridging physics and microbiology revealed how metabolic interactions structure microbial communities. @Alma_DalCo 1/12

[Glen D'Souza @nonresidentdesi]

New work out in @eLife! Possibly the last one in our series on bacterial aggregation behaviours on polysaccharides. We knew cells were engaging in collective behaviours. But how do they know when to leave and why? We provide potential answers in this work

Behind the Paper is out! 🎉
In "Evolving solutions: breeding bacterial communities to battle pollution," we tell the story behind our recent artificial selection paper @NatureComms . Huge thanks to @saramitri , @owbjorn , Alice Haym and Geraldine Alberti

Join us at the University of Lausanne for the coming edition of Biology25!

In addition to the main conference, we have four great satellite events, one of them organised by myself and Luca Soldini on Selfish genetic elements and conflicts within the organism!

[Biology25 @Biology25UNIL]

We are delighted to host the Biology25 conference @UNIL on 13-14 February, 2025. We are also bringing four engaging Satellite Events on February 12th.

📢Registration and abstract submission are now open!

Spread the word! #Biology25

[Jerónimo Rodríguez-Beltrán @Jero_RB]

Check out our new work to read about one of the most surprising (and amazing) results of my career:

Plasmids are governed by a universal scaling law that links copy number and size across phylogenetic boundaries.

A real tour de force by @paula_micro, @BioNacho and @JGamma3!

Our bacterial community breeding experiment is now published @NatureComms! https://t.co/OhU12cmCt8 Huge congratulations on making a very ambitious project a reality @arias_flora and @owbjorn! In short: you can select communities to improve pollutant degradation (with caveats)
