The most beautiful exploration of a single phage's infection cycle that I have ever seen, incredible work Plevka Lab !!

Multiplexed editing of phage genomes using retrons, now published at Nature Biotechnology with lots of new bells and whistles. chloe kate crawford Santi Bhattarai-Kline Darshini Poola Karen Zhang Alex González-Delgado Matías Rojas Montero nature.com/articles/s4158…

A nice little highlight here in Nature Reviews Microbiology by Adrian Cazares 🇲🇽 and team on our work (+ from the Dechesne lab) rediscovering plasmid-dependent phages! A hundred or so are known (most isolated in the last few years!) and we've only scratched the surface 👀 nature.com/articles/s4157…

I'll be speaking about viral sociality at TEDxNewEngland on Wednesday 25th September, alongside a great lineup of other speakers. List of speakers & tickets here for anyone in the Boston area who might want to come: tedxnewengland.com/speakers #TEDxNE #SocialViruses #LoveVirology

The Bartlett Lab is open for business at the Wadsworth Center! We study pathogens with "unusual" shapes (balls & corkscrews) to find vulnerabilities in their growth plans, and learn how bacterial shape impacts infection. We are hiring... join us! wadsworth.org/research/labor…

Fellow microbial immunity, mobile elements, and plasmid enthusiasts: the paper of our wonderful Bruria Samuel on anti-defense genes in plasmids is now published in nature!!! Check out her thread below for highlights of our new results. 1/2

Come see Amy at poster 174 & learn about how active prophages may change the trajectory & evolution of resistance to DNA damaging antibiotics 💊 ⚡️ #EMBOEvoEco

Some partnerships are always fun!! Excited to share one such 🎉 product w Simon Roux perspectives on our favorite “atypical” phages, for special issue to celebrate my former mentor Carol Gross UC San Francisco Tapping the treasure trove of atypical phages sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A great summary here of the challenges (and promises!) of studying non-canonical bacteriophages sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Another step forward towards the post-plaque era! Great work helping to drag the phage field into the 21st Century. Many core methodologies we use to study phages haven't changed since they were invented almost 100 years ago

🚨We're hiring a lab manager/research scientist! Come work with us MSU Micro & Cell Biology at Montana State in beautiful Bozeman, MT We are a phage lab with diverse projects related to infectious disease, check us out here: patsecor.wixsite.com/mysite-1 apply here: jobs.montana.edu/postings/43723

Nature News piece on the hidden players of the gut microbiome (hint, they're phages, of course) “Our virome is hugely abundant and incredibly diverse, and we’ve looked at just a tiny percentage,” nature.com/articles/d4158…

Get ready to dance, our paper – Phage DisCo: targeted discovery of bacteriophages by co-culture – has been pre-printed! 🪩 This has been a really fun project to work on with Siân Owen, Michael Baym, Natalia Quinones-Olvera, Kesther and Carmen! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/

In case you needed a reason to go do a PhD with Alexander Hynes (other than the awesome science!)
