- Reposted by Marjan GhotbiHappy new year! The second big project of my PhD in Rachel Whitaker's lab is now up! 🎉 We look at how provirus infection affects the evolution of the bacterial chromosome with different types of viral induction – with CRISPRs or antibiotics. Take a peek 🦠 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

- Reposted by Marjan GhotbiNewest preprint from the group on megaplasmids in E. coli led by @assemblerag.bsky.social. In addition to our findings in metagenomic datasets, we identified an RNA-seq project from a giant panda gut sample with evidence of megaplasmids. We would like to include the data creators in our study.
- Most plasmids described in E. coli are small compared to the megaplasmids we identified here! Check out the preprint if you want to learn about these mysterious large elements and their potential functions 🧬. I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to work on this in @banfieldlab.bsky.social
