Another day of #EMBOEvoEco and one more fantastic talk about antiphage defence systems! Aleksei_Agapov @Multi_Defence

Why do #bacterial species' #TransformationRates vary so dramatically? @epcrocha @labXC &co show that #Legionella & #Acinetobacter transformation rates evolve by sudden changes, likely caused by conflicts between #MGEs and the host bacterium #PLOSBiology plos.io/4dMviTR

Join us in Paris on April 8th-10th for the 2025 Symposium on the Immune System of Bacteria 🥖🍷🦠🧬. Excited to welcome these amazing speakers at Institut Pasteur, since 1887 . Registration will open beginning of November. Abstract deadline February 28. Stay tuned.

Our IBEID S2I fellow Jorge Moura de Sousa from the lab of @epcrocha is now presenting the inter-host diversity and mobilization of #bacteriophages and their satellites. #science #genetics #infectiousdiseases @doctor_jams Institut Pasteur, since 1887

OUT NOW 🦠 Prediction of strain level phage-host interactions across the Escherichia genus using only genomic information, by Aude Bernheim Hugo Vaysset MDMLab @iame_center Bacteriophage Lab Institut Pasteur nature.com/articles/s4156…

Exciting news! I started the junior research group 'Complexes in Phage-infected Cells' at Helmholtz Centre for Infection research Helmholtz-Zentrum für Infektionsforschung –inaktiv looking forward to explore new jumbo phage biology. We’re hiring! Join us for a PhD position.

For the past two years, we have been working on a novel approach to identify origins of transfer by conjugation in plasmids from any bacterial species. We are thrilled to see this work now published in Nature Microbiology after thorough peer review! nature.com/articles/s4156…

Special kudos to the great @epcrocha and Amandine Nucci for their amazing support and contributions! For additional info, don't miss this thread on the work: x.com/M_AresArroyo/s…

Emergency bulletin! 14 journals have co-published an urgent call for the deployment of microbial solutions against climate catastrophe, by Raquel Peixoto et al. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Exciting times! Our latest preprint is now live 🤩! I truly believe this is one of the most significant contributions we've made. It offers fresh hypotheses about how pandemic Vibrio cholerae spreads globally. Let’s dive in!🧵..1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

CURIOUS ABOUT PHAGE BIOLOGY!? CPIC lab at Helmholtz-Zentrum für Infektionsforschung –inaktiv is recruiting in the call +++ CURIOSITY IS INFECTIOUS +++ helmholtz-hzi.de/en/career/job-… Did you spot the phage? Please share!

And here it is, the completed BASEL collection finally published as early access in PLOS Biology - see the thread for more details. 🤗🧬🎣

Question for phage aficionados: We have some phages that are each interesting, e.g., because they target a novel receptor or are only distantly related to any other viruses. What would be a good journal to publish small papers with a basic characterization for each of them? 🤔🧬

Excited to share our last collab paper, now out in print Science Magazine!🎉 We reveal how dITP synthesis activates a SIR2 NADase effector to block phage infection! 🛡️🧬 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

With a bit of a lag for X... 🧪 Finally out after peer review, our work showing that "Mobile #Integrons carry Phage Defense Systems" is now published in Science 🎉 Short 🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our paper is published back2back with one from Didier Mazel Loot Céline and Eduardo Rocha, where Baptiste Darracq & Eloi Littner show that Sedentary Chromosomal Integrons are biobanks of phage defense systems. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
