MosSI Lab LSTM

1/8 🧵 The @Mossi_Lab was recently involved in the creation of the Mosquito Associated Isolate Collection (MosAIC), a repository of 392 mosquito-associated bacterial isolates and genomes available to the scientific community. #Microbiome #VectorControl #Entomology

#Mosquito #microbiomes: @laura_brettell @fooheesoon @nicolshollyl @evaheinz7 @mosmicrobes &co present MosAIC collection of 392 mosquito-associated #bacterial isolates & their genomes, to study bacterial colonization & adaptation in mosquitoes #PLOSBiology plos.io/3APbLEX

8/8 💡 Most importantly, MosAIC is a collaborative effort! Learn more and get involved here: kcoonlab.bact.wisc.edu/mosaic/. #Collaboration
