"Mutualistic interplay between bacteriophages and bacteria in the human gut" nature.com/articles/s4157… New review by Andrey Shkoporov, myself, and @colinhillucc on how phage and bacteria in the gut are not each other's 'enemy' but rather, as Captain Holt would say are each other's...

A Review in Nature Reviews Microbiology explores some of the mutualistic aspects of phage–bacterium interactions in the human gut and suggests that this relationship should not be characterized as a fight to the death between enemies. go.nature.com/3ORWJA9

NERC just sent an email out recognising that the cost of living increase means its PhD stipend isn't sufficient to live on. Their solution isn't to increase it, it's to suggest students start selling Avon and sign up to clinical trials...

We've developed a simple tool to reorient complete microbial genomes to begin with conventional start genes - originally dnaA for bacteria, but also for plasmids, phages & custom genes Vijini Mallawaarachchi @BeardyMcFace Susie Grigson @BhavyaPapudeshi github.com/gbouras13/dnaa…

The latest work from our lab where we conduct the largest experimental validation of gut phages to date! This included >2000 anaerobic incubations, >900 viral DNA extractions, and >400 genomes seq. This work was led by our PhD grad Sofia Dahlman biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
