Some excellent microbiology-themed baking at today's lab meeting from new group member Sarah Walsh. Thank you Sarah! 😋

It has been public for a while, but with #VoM2024 starting, today is as good as any to introduce our new tool phage genome annotation tool Phold. Phold uses structural homology to assign functions to phage proteins (1/n)
