Rob Edwards One idea: you may have a look at the tremendous EOP assays (S1 data) performed for the BASEL E.coli phage collection by Alexander Harms & colleagues PLOS Biology journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Rob Edwards That depends a bit on your definition of host range. Just recognition / lysis or also plaque formation? Phages targeting the highly conserved NGR glycan of enterobacteria are quite broad or those targeting conjugative pili of broad host-range plasmids (even cross-genus for PRD1).

Rob Edwards (I have no expertise but) maybe one that relies on plasmid encoded genes to get in? Eg biorxiv.org/content/10.110… From Michael Baym and Natalia QO , whose twitter is I can't find oddly

Not all proteins arise from consecutive codons. We developed a new tool - PRFect - to identify programmed ribosomal frameshifts. Designed, built, trained, and tested with #phage genomes, it also works on #bacteria and #eukaryotes too. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What would it take to add a #mastadon toot box to the #biorxiv website where the bird site one is? can you add that to metrics? @[email protected] @[email protected]
