Amazing😄

My favourite discovery ever has just come online. Can I please tell you about some seriously wacky molecular biology? The story starts with a reverse transcriptase that SOMEHOW defends bacteria from viruses. (👇 I recommend sound ON for the video 🎹) 1/

Delighted to share our latest publication in Nature Microbiology - a dream of mine, symbolized by the purple line, that has now become a reality. Discovery of a very widespread mobile island which play a crucial role in bacterial survival and competition. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Happy to share our work in Nature Microbiology. Gamma-Mobile-Trio systems are mobile elements rich in bacterial defensive and offensive tools. If you're interested in #Antiphage #T6SS #Vibrio #MGE then this is for you. 🧵1/15 rdcu.be/dXMwQ nature.com/articles/s4156…

The bottom line: GMT systems are vehicles for proliferating bacterial armories. Remarkably, these armories have both offensive and defensive weapons, either together or interchangeably. We are certain that other MGEs also carry mixed cargo of offensive and defensive tools. 14/15
