Did our new Heath Secretary just say he could see no reason not lift all restrictions on the 19th? 🤔

Huge congratulations to everyone, on our paper looking at the difference in PCR and PCR-free library preparations when resolving the virome in stool. Shen-Yuan (Ernie) Hsieh Carding_lab @EvelienAdri andrea telatin Rebecca Ansorge @BugsInYourGuts George Savva. mdpi.com/1999-4915/13/1…

What can animal models teach us about the gut virome? Some answers in our new review with Lorenzo Chaffringeon Quentin Lamy-Besnier and Bacteriophage Lab Institut Pasteur in Current Opinion in Virology Elsevier. A great way to celebrate #WorldPhageWeek! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Here it is! I'm not sure chromosomes can be considered MGEs. What is clear is that the transfer of chromosomal genes via lateral transduction is more efficient than the transfer of classical MGEs. Our results raise questions about our definition of MGEs. disq.us/t/42ojt2w

After two months of hard work by @mattrcrown our new SPEAR SARS-CoV-2 annotation tool is ready for Christmas! Developed in collaboration with Rafael Najmanovich @rnajmanovich.bsky.social and Natália Teruel we have many exciting things planed for SPEAR in 2022! github.com/m-crown/SPEAR

Great post doc post with Luisa De Sordi on gut phages and IBD.
