Introducing Bacttle! A board game targeting players in primary school that showcases the life of microbes. From basic concepts of environmental microbiology to motility & biofilm formation, the game aims to increase knowledge about bacteria. #JMBE: asm.social/20z

Happy to announce PneumoBrowse 2! Access it here: pneumobrowse2.veeninglab.com and read the preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

PneumoBrowse 2 is freely available on pneumobrowse2.veeninglab.com. Many thanks to the entire lab for keeping track of updates and literature and specifically Axel Janssen Paddy Gibson @afonsbravo Vincent de Bakker @JelleSlager for putting it all together and Doran for IT support!

Dual CRISPRi-Seq for genome-wide genetic interaction studies identifies key genes involved in the pneumococcal cell cycle biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_micrbio

Genome-wide dual CRISPRi-seq! Knocking down every gene with every other gene in the pneumococcus, identifying > 4000 genetic interactions (GIs), most of which have never been reported. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
