.@PRSecor’s Laboratory (@montanastate) is hiring a Postdoc Researcher to study interactions between #phages, #bacteria, and the immune system in relation to #Lymedisease, using tick-mouse models, microbial genetics, genomics, and RNA-seq approaches.

AlphaFold can predict protein, DNA, or RNA complexes.. BUT is it easy to determine the reliable interactions?🤔
➡️ AlphaBridge will identify the most confident interactions, making your analysis easier!

@felixrl_ took on a ~50-yr-old mystery in #Staph aureus cell biology and came out on top! Check out his paper on how #Staphylococcus aureus chooses its cell division plane, how it forms clusters, and why all this matters during infection...

Out today in @NAR_Open from @cees_dekker lab!!
*DNA supercoiling enhances DNA condensation by ParB proteins*
doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkae936
Together with @Aless322 (and @Gruber_Lausanne ) we show the interaction between partition complex proteins (ParB) and supercoiled DNA!
