🧬🧬 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙩!!🧬🧬 Latest collab with the amazing Ming Li & Yue Feng labs!
How do phages bypass multi-layered defenses in bacteria? Spoiler: with equally complex anti-defenses!! 🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

I'm going to be advertising a PhD studentship (open to international students) working on long read pangenome / assembly algorithms in bacteria. Would suit someone with maths/compsci background. Aptitude and interest more important than experience. Advert to follow. Pls RT!

Daria Frolova's paper in plasmid relatedness now out in MGen! She uses rearrangement distances & shared seq content to build a relatedness network of plasmids, identifies hubs which are likely transposons, and then clusters related plasmids.

@MicrobioSoc
First paper from my student Daria Frolova's PhD now on biorxiv:
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
The key question: plasmids change structurally ~as fast as they mutate, so how can we decide whether 2 plasmids are "the same plasmid" for epi purposes?
