Our latest paper is now out in @MolBioEvol! In this work we show that T:A→G:C mutational hotspots in bacteria are created by short nucleotide sequences (≥8bp), which we call GnT motifs. [doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf1…]. A short 🧵 below:

Evolution Fact Friday! Did you know that you can see evolution happening in real time? Our fab PhD student @MorilloHall & fab @TaylorLabGroup have developed #Evoscope, an education package for teachers to bring the process of evolution to life in real time bath.ac.uk/campaigns/discove…

The most important things to consider with biotech companies are 1. Do they have stickers? and 2. Are the stickers laptop-worthy? Luckily I'm here to help, and have collaborated with Forge Genetics to ensure your laptops are receiving the best stickers possible
