Happy to share latest paper from our lab. Tour-de-force study led by now-former postdoc Sander Govers, which involved imaging cell cycle markers in E. coli across thousands perturbations. It identified simple population principles of cell cycle control authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S24…

By characterizing morphological, cell cycle, and growth features across perturbations, Sander Govers et al. identify simple governing principles of cell cycle control in Escherichia coli that connect cell cycle events to specific aspects of cell size. JacobsWagnerLab

For those interested in automatically curating their bacterial cell detections in microscopy images, we wrote a protocol (+ jupyter notebooks) for how to train a support vector machine to take care of this (otherwise often laborious) task! star-protocols.cell.com/protocols/3279 STAR Protocols

Interested in the mechanisms driving subcellular organization in bacteria? The Vecchiarelli lab has a postdoc position available! docs.google.com/document/d/1jH… Plz RT!

Thrilled to share our latest preprint describing the role of genome concentration on cell growth and proteome composition. Work led by Jarno Mäkelä with a fun collaboration with Jan Skotheim lab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Bacterial growth rate modulation is typically associated with genetic or environmental changes. In this preprint, we show that growth rate in Caulobacter varies between daughter cells in the same environment. Led by (brand-new) Dr. Skye Glenn. #ppGpp biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Coupled or not coupled? In this preprint, we explored conditions that affect coupling (or uncoupling) between transcription, translation, and mRNA degradation in bacteria. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled to share our latest preprint about asymmetric division in E. coli! Work led by the amazing Yashna Thappeta & Silvia Cañas-Duarte. Fun collaboration with the Cegelski lab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our review article "Mutational Robustness and the Role of Buffer Genes in Evolvability" published in The EMBO Journal #MutationalRobustness #Evolvability #BufferGenes embopress.org/doi/full/10.10… #EMBOJournal #MutationalRobustness

Mutational Robustness and the Role of Buffer Genes in Evolvability Kevin Verstrepen et al use the example of chaperone gene HSP90 to review our current understanding of mutational robustness & the role of buffer genes in evolution #Weekendreading embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…
