3rd UK MGE Workshop – June 16-17, Southampton Low-cost, science-focused, and full of fresh faces! Great discussions—no hidden agendas, just MGEs. Call for talks– No abstract needed! Just send your title by the end of April. #MGE #UKscience

Imagine resistance genes as stickers, and plasmids as the sticker albums where they're collected and swapped. 🤔🧩 Now, You should check this amazing work from Wang et al.! 👇 doi.org/10.1093/ismejo… #Plasmid #MGEs #AntimicrobialResistance #ARGs

The ISPB Virtual Seminars 2025 continue tomorrow with the second session: 📅 Tuesday, April 15 🕢 07:00–08:00 (UTC) (everytimezone.com) Make sure you don't miss it! 🤠 #Plasmid #ISPBVirtualSeries

Hey! Reminder ‼️ Today we’ll enjoy another session of the ISPB Virtual Seminar Series from 16:00 to 17:00 (UTC). Join us for some great science! #Plasmids #MGEs #ISPB

Heads up! 📢 The 5th Session of the ISPB Virtual Seminars is tomorrow, from 8:00 to 9:00 UTC. Hope to see you there virtually! #Plasmid #ISPB #VirtualSeminar

How do plasmids kickstart gene expression in new hosts? Our new review in Plasmid: “Strategies for zygotic gene expression during plasmid establishment” with Nathan Fraikin (C. LESTERLIN - TacC LAB lab). Part of the #ISPB2024 special issue (Hamamatsu, Japan)🧵1/6 doi.org/10.1016/j.plas…

Must-Read Paper 👀 Check out this latest review on plasmid mobility and how interactions between MGEs shape and affect plasmid stability and transfer: academic.oup.com/nar/article/53… #Plasmid #MGE #mobility

📢 Postdoctoral research position A 2-year postdoctoral position on bacteriophages research is available at the Institut Pasteur in Paris in the Plasticity of the Genomes Unit. 🧐 Those interested can now send their applications!

Hey hey hey! Tomorrow, September 16th at 16:00 UTC, don’t miss the next ISPB virtual seminar! This session will focus on plasmid elimination with great speakers lined up. #Plasmid #ISPB #MGEs

When resistance genes jump between species of bacteria, they spread far beyond their original hosts. New Imperial College London research explains how these "pirate" phages fuel antimicrobial resistance: genengnews.com/topics/infecti…
