Our work on genetic determinants for S. aureus fitness in milk is now available online. The study also exemplifies how milk can modulate antibiotic susceptibility. Congrats @MaritaMarli and thanks to all collaborators (@DPorcellato @JWVeening @vincentdebakker @liuxuescience)!
Great collaboration with @Morten3891 to figure out which genes are required for Staphylococcus aureus to live in milk. Important to know due to Staphs ability to cause bovine mastitis and food poisoning biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Agreed! That's why I wrote ggpubfigs, a ggplot2 extension that *only colorblind-friendly color palettes.
Easily make your figures colorblind-friendly with ggpubfigs! xitter.cf/NKWhiteman/status/1852…

I've made a new framework for developing sequence based typing (SBT) tools.
🐪camlhmp ("camel hump") allows for an SBT schema to be defined in YAML, disentangling the SBT logic from the code, making much easier to maintain.
