- #PhageSky A bacterial long-term evolutionary tradeoff, dating as far as 200 years in the past. Very proud to have a small contribution in this great work from Karasov & Burbano Labs led by @taliamycota.bsky.social & Jiajun Cui & Emma Caullireau. Please read the thread by @hernanaburbano.bsky.social:
- Our new collaborative work led by @taliamycota.bsky.social Jiajun Cui & Emma Caullireau between my lab @ucllifesciences.bsky.social @cloeucl.bsky.social & the Karasov Lab (tkarasovlab.org) @uofubiology.bsky.social and collaborators: @plantricia.bsky.social et al. tinyurl.com/5yx2wmz5 (1/n)
- What a great week at Nanjing Agricultural University! Huge thanks to Prof. Souomeng Dong for the invitation to share my research and to his entire team for being such generous hosts. I learned so much from hearing about their work and am thrilled about our future plans together

LatorreFascinating talk by Dr. Talia Karasov (University of Utah) on how plant pathogens weaponize phage-derived tailocins to wipe out bacterial rivals. Microbes fighting microbes—nature’s own biotech. #ISMPMI2025 #Tailocins #MicrobialWarfare

- How Rice Blast Fungus stays one step ahead? I'll talk about the evolutionary dynamics of its pangenome. Whether you're into evolutionary insights, curious about methods, or just love a good fungal story, swing by my poster: * P-280 * Tuesday, 9:55-11 :30 #2025ISMPMI

Latorre#PopulationGenetics of microbial #pathogens can inform decisions that impact society; @smlatorreo.bsky.social explores a @plosbiology.org study on wheat powdery mildew #fungus which uses genomic data to predict continental-scale dispersion routes 🧪 Paper: plos.io/43qfH9F Primer: plos.io/44YjHQN
