Check out this thread about novel groups of prokaryotic RTs with phage defense proporties!! Congrats to @pentamorfico who has led this cool project from the beginning and of course to the rest of the amazing team!!

🧬 El grupo liderado por Nicolás Toro lleva tiempo estudiando las Transcriptasas Inversas, un conjunto de enzimas presentes en los genomas de bacterias cuya función biológica ha sido un misterio desde hace más de 30 años. Publicado en @NAR_Open 👉 cutt.ly/uhKRm8D

Excited to present CRISPRCasTyper! The pitfalls of other CRISPR-Cas loci prediction tools prompted us to build our own. It works great and it is super fast-- we thought many of you would also find it useful so we decided to share!! 🌍🧬biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/12

Si te apetece trabajar unos meses en el lab, solicita tu beca JAE-Intro con nosotros. Nos gusta mucho CRISPR-Cas y entender como son los primeros pasitos del desarrollo animal, entre otras cosas. Lo pasaremos bien. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… sede.csic.gob.es/Intro2020
We are hiring! PhD position in the Metagenomics group at the Technical University of Denmark. Come work on the roles of horizontal gene transfer in bacterial evolution using metagenomics. Project design influence guaranteed. RTs are highly appreciated. bit.ly/2YmOUeh
