Have a look at Clàudia's first paper below! 👇🏻🥳 She realised some things weren't adding up when amplifying IS26-containing regions, and far too many PCRs later here we are.... DNA containing IS26 actually recombines in vitro, in the PCR tube! 🤯

Very happy to share the publication of the first manuscript from my PhD! 🥳 Here, we show that PCR amplification of repetitive DNA sequences, such as AMR genes flanked by insertion sequences, can lead to the generation of artefact products that need to be interpreted cautiously. (See comments 👇)

PCR analysis of insertion sequences leads to the generation of artefact amplicons
Insertion sequences (ISs) are small, self-mobilizing DNA elements widespread across prokaryotic genomes, including chromosomes and plasmids. IS elements frequently co-localize with antimicrobial resis...

Had a great time today at #ESCMIDGlobal presenting on using CRISPR-Cas9 to kill E. coli ST131 and the emergence of different escape populations. Big thanks to @escmid.bsky.social and everyone who came by!

I will not post spoilers Emily Stevenson’s results, but I will applaud her use of animations to lead the audience through interpreting a full-screen heat map instead of just showing us a giant tapestry “as you can see…” #Microbio25

Preprint below has been a long time coming, here just in time for #microbio25 ! (if the train wifi lets me) With @andrewmatthews.bsky.social #MicroSky 🧵

Starting the journey to Paris in style for Klebsiella Epidemiology and Biology Symposium @institutpasteur.bsky.social. I'll have a poster & flash talk #188 on #CRISPR vs #AMR plasmids. Looking forward to some cool Klebsiella research! :) #KlebClub
