I'm happy to share the first publication from my lab @hoerlab.bsky.social, now out in @narjournal.bsky.social! I take a look at the biology of RNA phages, focusing on how meta-omics methods are discovering new RNA phage families and bacterial defense strategies. #PhageSky doi.org/10.1093/nar/...

Advancing RNA phage biology through meta-omics

Abstract. Bacteriophages with RNA genomes are among the simplest biological entities on Earth. Since their discovery in the 1960s, they have been used as i

I’ll be presenting my poster at #ESCMIDGlibal Diversity of SCCmec elements in bovine Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus haemolyticus: Uncovering shared & novel multidrug-resistance cassettes P1813 14 Apr | 12:00–13:30 If you’re interested in AMR, SCCmec, or One Health, I’d love to chat! 😃

“The result is going to be the systematic removal of women and people of color from the act of research. At the end of this, we’re going to end up with an academy that is more white, more wealthy, more male, more cisgender, and it’s going to reinforce the same problem.”

I'm so happy that I can finally share the results of my first postdoc paper with @baym.lol!!! Turns out plasmids are an amazing system to study multi-scale evolution and we can track within-cell and between-cell dynamics! (1/n) www.biorxiv.org/content/earl...

Intracellular competition shapes plasmid population dynamics

Conflicts between levels of biological organization are central to evolution, from populations of multicellular organisms to selfish genetic elements in microbes. Plasmids are extrachromosomal, self-r...

We interrupt your regularly-scheduled chaos to bring you some cool microbiome science. 🦠 🖥️ 🧬 "Longitudinal phage–bacteria dynamics in the early life gut microbiome" now out in Nature Microbiology. We wanted a way to measure bacteria and phage in metagenomes 1/ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Longitudinal phage–bacteria dynamics in the early life gut microbiome - Nature Microbiology

Reanalysis of 12,262 longitudinal infant gut microbiome samples using the Marker-MAGu pipeline revealed phage–bacteria dynamics over the first year of life.
