Binning #viral / #phage genomes directly from #metagenomics data while automatically defining #viralpopulations across samples? Now you can using PHAMB - new tool to run on top of VAMB (or another binner)! Fantastic work led by Joachim Hoffmann from my group: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very excited to see our story online in Nucleic Acids Res!🎉 We found plasmids in nature carry a fascinating diversity of CRISPR-Cas🌈🤯 We characterized their abundance, diversity, distribution & investigated their CRISPR contents to infer their function(s)!! academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

Another defence system, guys: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… The prokaryotic argonaute recognises viruses using a guide RNA, then activates a transmembrane protein to depolarise the membrain and commit suicide. #antiviral #antiphage #archaea #CRISPR

1/n Excited to share a story on prokaryotic Argonautes (pAgos)!! 🎉 Here, we describe a short pAgo that mediates robust antiviral protection!🛡️ But how!? 🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Talking CRISPR lays out his brilliant paper on phages in childrens gut. I remember once thinking "Wow, we identified a handful of new viral families!". Shiraz and the rest of this group just found +100 new ones 🤯 Check out the brilliant online overview 👇 tiny.cc/aq76vz

We found hundreds of viral families in baby diapers. Everything we found is online (copsac.com/earlyvir/f1y/f…). This project started all the way back in 2016. So excited that it's finally out! COPSAC HDHL #OpenScience #phage #CRISPR #virome #metagenome

Looks like phage diversity is higher in babies than adults. Why? Check out the story behind the paper.

Dr. Evelien Adriaenssens wrote this beautiful opinion piece about our recent baby virus study. She is the chair of the bacteriophage subcommittee within the ICTV, so her opinion matters. And I'm humbled to say the least. COPSAC HDHL #phage

Such a pleasure talking with Benjamin Thompson about our findings. Big thanks to the Nature Podcast team for having me! Tune in to the episode to hear our conversation🦠🎙️ nature.com/articles/d4158…

Alright, admitted, I was intimidated by twitter's name change, and haven't been online before now. But since then, this happened!!! Big congrats to Sarah Camara #dav604 and Rafa Pinilla-Redondo uncovering these unbelievable RNA based anti-#CRISPR s
