For readers interested in engineering living therapeutics with synthetic biology, here's a recent review go.nature.com/3JiT6iU

The Lab of @EvelienAdri at @TheQuadram Institute Biosciences, UK is seeking a PhD student to determine the role of #phages in the gut #microbiome. buff.ly/3EiVbJP buff.ly/3GibKXX

Our recent work on identifying a big some might say huge phage in marine virome , led by @SMichniewski with @RyanCookAMR @coccolithovirus (@thembauk ) @CyanoNey and Dave Scanlan (given up trying to get on twitter) nature.com/articles/s4370…

@MikeTisza @SieraVirus @EvergreenPhage We did not! We will, it would be interesting to compare the output :)

@SieraVirus @AGrigonyte @EvergreenPhage Dr. Grigonyte did you try cenote-taker 2 (my tool)? I'm always looking for ways to improve it, if it missed some bona fide prophages.

Darn cool talk by @AGrigonyte at @EvergreenPhage on phages of methanotrophs. Induced lysogens were not caught by any of the prophage identifying tools, which I find really important because we rely on a lot of tools blindly.

Don't know if any phage-folks needs to see this, but not all agars are made equal. In my case, it's for phage work, but totally possible that other biological phenomena are impacted as well. After years of working with lambda, I noticed that it stopped plaquing and multiple 1/

@elecamagu Beautiful!!!

A Jack made of stem cells! 🧫 #FluorescenceFriday #NightmareBeforeChristmas

Lab meeting when you don’t have new results

Job opportunity with Dave Scanlan , also involves @RichardPuxty1 and me. Cyanophages, chemostats photosynthesis . See jobs.ac.uk/job/CFX938/res… #phage

I am pleased to share my latest publication, work from my PhD in @milja001 group, together with @AlexiaH4: mdpi.com/1424-8247/14/4…

One issue that obstructs phage efficiency in vivo is poor localization of phage to the site of infection. @AGrigonyte and colleagues published a new paper showing how they modified phages to increase their association with lung epithelium cells in vitro buff.ly/3tydaXv

Excited to co-host Phage Therapy UK: Moving Towards Clinical Trials with @MarthaClokie @MelissaEKHaines @kadler42 this coming Thurs, Apr 22, 2pm to 6pm BST. There's still time to register! Details & speaker lineup here: buff.ly/3aiNre9

Phage therapy data being evaluated by @WHO!

Very interesting and somewhat topical article 🙂

We reuse our Qiagen columns (any kind) without compromising the yield and any carry over DNA contaminations by soaking the columns in 1M HCl overnight and washing the coumns with 5X distilled water (1 column volume each time). Saves money and plastics.
