And out next installment of #phage superheroes is out again targeting S. aureus. Congrats Joshua Iszatt and team on finding this great gem! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36416544/ Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre Curtin Media telethonkids Phage Australia - Connect. Discover. Cure

Joshua Iszatt from Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre is presenting at International Congress of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy today. “We describe the characterisation of lytic bacteriophages active against MRSA, which is an antibiotic resistant type of bacteria.” (1 of 2) is

Extremely grateful and humbled to receive the Best Oral Presentation Award from ASM at the is 32nd ICC! Thank you Prof. Robin Patel for the insightful talk and advices given at the conference :)

Absolutely gutted by Last of Us portrayal of lodgepole pine 16 km west of Boston. But hey, novel mycorrhizae and climate conditions may present new opportunities for rapid range shifts. #lastofusepisode3

😂 oh Frank.

Thankyou Conquer CF for your support of this important #phagetherapy research, as covered on 9News Perth by Kelly Haywood.

I'm running a Microbes & Food Safety Bioinformatics Hackathon in Cambridge just before ABPHM in May. Only a few places remaining, full details here: quadram.ac.uk/events/9th-mic…

🦠🧬🖥️ Excited to announce Bakta v1.7.0 AND a major DB update! New Features: - A lightweight DB version -> only 1.2 Gb (zipped) - Gene symbol curation for CDS & operons - A metagenome mode github.com/oschwengers/ba… More information below 👇 (1/10)

If I got paid £50 per review I would do one once a week.

Shameless tweet naming someone a “Karen” for caring about the environment… 🤦🏻‍♂️

I have many friends who refuse vaccination for hilarious reasons but rabies is not the way to prove it 😂 - “He’s out of line… but he’s right”

Whilst this is an issue… it is also hilarious 😂

I think this is BIG. MutS protein recognizes mismatches in DNA. AlphaFold3, when given the MutS sequence and long DNA with the mismatch, finds the mismatch and models the complex in the correct conformation.

Made a simple long read phage assembly pipeline with Andrew Vaitekenas and Samuel Montgomery . - No logging, no checks, nothing fancy, just click and hope (for now)... - Need to turn it into a conda package somehow next? github.com/JoshuaIszatt/p…

Our bacteriophage research to combat global crisis on antimicrobial resistance got funding to train AI models on AWS!

Short read phage genome assembly pipeline: github.com/JoshuaIszatt/p… - A bit more complicated for short reads... are configuration files really the best way?

The platypus is possibly the weirdest animals. It’s a mammal but lays eggs, its duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed and venomous. It has electroreceptors for locating prey, eyes with double cones, no stomach, and 10 chromosomes. It's fluorescent and glows under UV light.
