In -omics studies, understudied genes are systematically abandoned in favor of better-studied genes in the paper writing stage elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…

Reminder that Lorena Fernández-Martínez and I have a studentship available, starting autumn 2024 - on evolution of antibiotic-producing bacteria - closing date 9th Feb gla.ac.uk/postgraduate/d… pls RT

Yess!

My first paper from John Innes Centre with Tung Le is now out! 😃If you like bacteria and mobile genetic elements, consider reading our review on wonderfully weird #genetransferagents below👇sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

📢 1 May: All University of Exeter, Cornwall Early Career Researchers (ECRs) are invited to participate in an #interdisciplinary workshop organised by the ECRs from the ESI. ⭐️ Free lunch included. Registration by 24 April. 👉 forms.office.com/e/qnF7e579Vh #ECR #EarlyCareerResearcher

Happy to discuss about the use of CRISPR-Cas9 to combat AMR (blaCTX-M-15 in E. coli ST131). Poster 28. #Microbio24 Microbiology Society

All the credit goes to Hannah Stanley. More to come on this story soon.

Our newest open access review is online.....find out about the pipeline of antibacterial candidates with new MOA Infectious Diseases Institute for Molecular Bioscience @HendersonLab Mark BUTLΞR 🚀 #AMR #antibiotics #antibacterial A Review of Antibacterial Candidates with new MoA pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

We have a new postdoc position coming soon :D. To help tease apart the cellular functions of lipid transporters involved in bacterial cell envelope homeostasis... using bacterial genetics, cell biology, and biochemistry. Reach out if you are interested and please RT!

The ever amazing Artyom Egorov in our group has made a new visualisation tool for comparative genomics. Makes particularly beautiful images of phages, plasmids, other MGEs or regions of prokaryotic genomes 😍 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Sharing a very short paper that I wanted to write up for many years which showed biochemical evidence that UndP sequestered with altered sugar structures are trapped at the cystosolic face of the membrane due to ineffective Wzx activity. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
