Angelika Gründling’s work from her sabbatical in the Bernhardt-Rudner labs is out! She came with the goal of finding the missing G+ phosphatidylglycerol phosphate phosphatase and found it with time to spare. I can also highly recommend her as a bay mate! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…

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🍎healthresearch.wd1.myworkday… 1/3

So excited to finally share this work!!
We found an unexpected repurposing of canonical division enzymes during the evolution of endospore formation and some surprisingly unique aspects of cell division in C. difficile.
Check out our preprint: rb.gy/j5uvc

Exciting news! The pre-print for our paper, “Diverse and abundant viruses exploit conjugative plasmids” is finally out! Join me on this thread to hear more about this mysterious group of phages with rather unique lifestyle preferences. 1/ biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

Best way to get to know your new bacteria? Infect it with phage! Check out my preprint 👇 where I used tn-seq to find phage resistance in Corynebacteria and ID'd new genes involved in mycolata envelope assembly
Phage resistance profiling identifies new genes required for biogenesis and modification of the corynebacterial cell envelope biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_micrbio
Happy to finally have my preprint out in the world! I isolated phage from stool to identify anti-phage systems on conserved V. cholerae genomic islands
The Vibrio cholerae Seventh Pandemic islands act in tandem to defend against a circulating phage biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Congrats to @kelseybarrasso ,the rest of the Ng lab folks, and our collaborators for getting this story out! (P.S. the current version gave Barrasso and extra S)

Excited to share this new preprint from the lab, hopefully this TIMER variant will be very useful for future studies!

Hey Micro peeps:: Two grad students in my lab, Chantal Guegler and Peter Culviner, developed a super easy DIY kit for rRNA depletion for RNA-seq. Works like the RiboZero kit that @illumina inexplicably stopped selling - ours is as good and way cheaper!

At long last, we're out from the shadow of the Sackler name!
Tufts University has decided to remove the Sackler name from our school of graduate biomedical sciences, from our medical education building, and from within our medical school programs.

(p)ppApp! It's real - not a typo of (p)ppGpp. Super fun collaboration with John Whitney's lab. Congrats to Sheri Ahmad and Boyuan Wang on their fabulous work!

Calling all phage enthusiasts in the Boston area!🧬🧫🔬 @implosian and I want to organize a meetup with other Boston phage peeps to share ideas and network etc. Trying to gauge interest, so let us know if you would want to participate! 👇👇👇
Pls RT!
68%Yes! I want to talk phage
19%Maybe, but can't be sure

Another great paper from the seed lab showing the latest front in the battle between bacteria and phage! Nice work @AmeliaMcKitt @kristen_legault @KimDSeed
Newest paper's out! Phage encoded CRISPR-Cas system indirectly interferes with anti-phage island by targeting bacterial host chromosome, requiring Cas2-3 processivity. Plus new CR+ phage from cholera patient 💩! @kristen_legault @KimDSeed
