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 @SofiaDahlman

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 @viji112 @BeardyMcFace @susiegriggo_ @BhavyaPapudeshi

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...

A Review in @NatureRevMicro 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
"Mutualistic interplay between bacteriophages and bacteria in the human gut" nature.com/articles/s41579-0…
New review by @AShkoporov, 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...

MDPI Journals and their peculiar editorial process.
Just asked to be removed as a guest editor from @VirusesMDPI, a journal which I had considered as a very good platform in the past. #MDPI
