Get excited, Jasper Gomez's (Jasper) Preliminary Examination is coming up- Next Friday, April 7th!

SeqCoast is delighted to be a registered provider at these world-class institutions to help researchers make discoveries. Researchers at other unis and companies place orders directly online. Give us a try for expert sequencing, analyses w/ rapid turnaround and friendly service!

We just posted a new bioRxiv led by Geoff Severin that shows the CBASS anti-phage defense system of V. cholerae is activated by both quorum sensing and folate depletion! 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I’m excited to announce organ agar, an economical method that facilitates screening large microorganism mutant libraries or studies of organisms without good animal models! Allyson Shea 🔬 Harry Mobley

Convergent mutations in phage virion assembly proteins enable evasion of Type I CBASS immunity biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_micrbio

rdcu.be/dcSAU New paper from our group describes the genomes of two Proteus mirabilis isolates🧬🧬🦠🦠🧫🧫 Special congratulations to Ilona and Sylwia, our students who support us in our research👩‍🔬👩‍🔬

#PeerReview from eLife - the journal of 👉🏿 A simple mechanism for integration of quorum sensing and cAMP signalling in V. cholerae biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_micrbio #reviewedpreprint

Transposon mutagenesis screen in Klebsiella pneumoniae identifies genetic determinants required for growth in human urine and serum dlvr.it/Sq197n

Mark your calendars! Kathryne Ford (Kathryne Ford Ph.D.) will be defending her dissertation on Thursday, June 29th in BMB 101. We hope to see you there!

Our 1st preprint! We developed a genetic toolkit for E. coli that directly uses cheap DNA oligos to specify kb scale mutations. No PCR/cloning to delete genes! The paper demonstrates benefits over λ Red & gets fancy w/ pooled mutant libraries. 1/15 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Friday, 7/28, 10-11, BSRB 1020 Kahn or zoom - Aric Brown will defend his dissertation on "The Role of the ArcA Metabolic Regulator in Gram-Negative #Bacteremia." Mentor: Harry Mobley. Congrats Aric! bit.ly/43B4qkG

🎉Exciting news!🎉 I’m thrilled to share that I have accepted a faculty position at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Grateful to my supportive friends, family, and mentors who believed in my potential and passion. The Evolution and Functional Genomics Group is here!

Proud of work led by Geoff Severin with Wai-Leung Ng and team. Also includes Ram Kumar Brian Hsueh Chris Rhoades and Soo Yoon from my group. A true team collaboration (and I actually did some of the experiments myself 🧑‍🔬🦠)!
