Solid costume game for the second year in a row. I was sad to miss this, but love getting to see the amazing pictures!

Happy to share our work in @NatureMicrobiol. Gamma-Mobile-Trio systems are mobile elements rich in bacterial defensive and offensive tools.

1/8. 𝐧𝐜𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐬 often fly under the radar... but they're vital in bacteria-phage conflicts & beyond. Curious 𝙬𝙝𝙮!? 🤔

Here, we dive into their immune roles, plasticity, and discuss their hidden potential! 🧬🚀

Captain Aureispira - a bacterial pirate ship🦜🏴‍☠️🪝- boarded @ScienceMagazine. Check out the manuscript here: https://t.co/SMgAu4xFux and have a look on our extended thread below ⬇️We provide new insights on bacterial predation from molecules ⚛️to ocean samples 🌊

My lab is up and running and just needs enthusiastic phage biologists to populate it! Contact me or apply in the link if you are interested in a postdoc exploring plasmid-dependent phage biology in beautiful (and super affordable!) upstate New York🍎https://t.co/nYWsBgNih4 1/3

[Artyom Egorov @art_egorov]

See our preprint on systematic hotspot annotation! In addition to hotspot analysis, we provide precomputed iLund4u databases and two search modes: find if your query proteins are encoded in hotspots or map hotspots to a single phage/plasmid sequence. https://t.co/s67F0qeEsD

We’re excited to welcome two new undergraduates to our lab: Lucas and Julianne! They’ve jumped right in and are already hard at work.🏋️

Friday fun in the lab! #FridayFun #WorkplaceWellness

Happy Halloween from the Rubin Lab and the Fellowship of the (Plasmid) Ring! 🦠🧝🧙‍♂️

[Cress Lab @thecresslab]

@therubinlab @bradyfcress Throwback to last year's Halloween LOTR costumes! Any guesses what we're doing this year? Hint: Game themed.

🚨 New preprint alert!
I am excited to present a collaboration between the @doudna_lab and Zev Bryant lab, with co-first authors @Noor_AlSayyad and @kevin_wasko and me. Curious about what drives high-efficiency genome editing by Cas9? Let’s dive in!👇🧵https://t.co/pvjXKhM2tP

[Simon Roux @simroux_virus]

If you work with metagenomes (or metatranscriptomes), would like to explore what viruses/phages are in your datasets, but don't know where to start, we have (an) MVP for you now \o/
Really happy to see this one published, and also welcoming feedback/suggestion of improvement!

[Rubin Lab @therubinlab]

We love the Rubin-Cress team! 🧑‍🔬✨

[Cress Lab @thecresslab]

Huge congrats to @Amanda_T_Alker and @LeoCTSong! So excited about the awesome collaboration between the Rubin and Cress Lab. Love seeing our fellow researchers shine! 🎉 Cheers @therubinlab 🥂

[Rubin Lab @therubinlab]

The Rubin Lab's first preprint is OUT on bioRxiv! ✨📄This lab-wide effort involved many amazing collaborations and fun conversations about the big wide world of CRISPR-associated transposons ⬇️ Thank you to our funders + everyone who contributed to making this project possible!

Happy National Postdoc Appreciation Week! 🎉🔬✨ We're celebrating our brilliant postdocs @Amanda_T_Alker, @lindseympieper, @JNVMartinson, Bingliang Xie, and (soon) Kuang Hu who help make this lab the amazing place it is! #NPAW2024 #ShoutOutYourPostdoc @igisci

[Cress Lab @thecresslab]

Happy Postdoc Appreciation Week! 🎉 Shoutout to our fantastic postdoc Jaymin and our incredible staff scientist Agnès (our honorary postdoc because she’s that amazing—and we couldn’t agree more!).
