Happy Halloween from the Rubin Lab and the Fellowship of the (Plasmid) Ring! 🦠🧝🧙‍♂️

Happy National Postdoc Appreciation Week! 🎉🔬✨ We're celebrating our brilliant postdocs @Amanda_T_Alker, Lindsey M Pieper, Jon Martinson, Bingliang Xie, and (soon) Kuang Hu who help make this lab the amazing place it is! #NPAW2024 #ShoutOutYourPostdoc Institute for Geographic Information Science

Stoked to introduce our collaboration with Rubin Lab and Spencer Diamond to revolutionize microbiome gene editing! ✨

Happy Postdoc Appreciation Week! 🎉 Shoutout to our fantastic postdoc Jaymin and our incredible staff scientist Agnès (our honorary postdoc because she’s that amazing—and we couldn’t agree more!).

Huge congrats to @Amanda_T_Alker and Leo Song! So excited about the awesome collaboration between the Rubin and Cress Lab. Love seeing our fellow researchers shine! 🎉 Cheers Rubin Lab 🥂

We love the Rubin-Cress team! 🧑‍🔬✨

🚨 New preprint alert! I am excited to present a collaboration between the Doudna Lab and Zev Bryant lab, with co-first authors Noor Al-Sayyad and Kevin Wasko and me. Curious about what drives high-efficiency genome editing by Cas9? Let’s dive in!👇🧵biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you work with metagenomes (or metatranscriptomes), would like to explore what viruses/phages are in your datasets, but don't know where to start, we have (an) MVP for you now \o/ Really happy to see this one published, and also welcoming feedback/suggestion of improvement!

Friday fun in the lab! #FridayFun #WorkplaceWellness

We’re excited to welcome two new undergraduates to our lab: Lucas and Julianne! They’ve jumped right in and are already hard at work.🏋️

My lab is up and running and just needs enthusiastic phage biologists to populate it! Contact me or apply in the link if you are interested in a postdoc exploring plasmid-dependent phage biology in beautiful (and super affordable!) upstate New York🍎healthresearch.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/HRI_Care… 1/3

1/8. 𝐧𝐜𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐬 often fly under the radar... but they're vital in bacteria-phage conflicts & beyond. Curious 𝙬𝙝𝙮!? 🤔 Here, we dive into their immune roles, plasticity, and discuss their hidden potential! 🧬🚀 🔗:cell.com/trends/microbi…

See our preprint on systematic hotspot annotation! In addition to hotspot analysis, we provide precomputed iLund4u databases and two search modes: find if your query proteins are encoded in hotspots or map hotspots to a single phage/plasmid sequence. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to share our work in Nature Microbiology. Gamma-Mobile-Trio systems are mobile elements rich in bacterial defensive and offensive tools. If you're interested in #Antiphage #T6SS #Vibrio #MGE then this is for you. 🧵1/15 rdcu.be/dXMwQ nature.com/articles/s4156…

Happy Halloween from the Rubin Lab and Cress Lab! 🎃 Watch out for banana peels in the lab bay! 🚗🍌🍄

Solid costume game for the second year in a row. I was sad to miss this, but love getting to see the amazing pictures!

Happy Halloween!
