The Secret Lives of Microbial Mobile Genetic Elements is out in Philosophical Transactions of the @royalsociety Royal Society B! Edited by me, @ellieevolves, and @surt_lab. 📗 Read our introduction here: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Review on HGT in bacteria, with a focus on progress/challenges of identifying adaptive transfers. Inspiring to work with @I_TingH and @BillHanage on this! nature.com/articles/s4157…

Horizontal gene transfer and adaptive evolution in bacteria by B. Arnold, @I_TingH & @BillHanage in @NatureRevMicro nature.com/articles/s4157…

Our review on HGT and adaptive evolution in bacteria is out! nature.com/articles/s4157… Really enjoyed working on this with @BrianJohnArnold and @BillHanage How does the shuttling and shuffling of genes interact with selection? Bottom line: we should be prepared to be surpised

RT @jrpenades: Here it is! I'm not sure chromosomes can be considered MGEs. What is clear is that the transfer of chromosomal genes via lat…

RT @jordivangestel: Exciting collaboration with the Eldar Lab (@TasneemBareia, @AvigdorEldar), where we show how mobile genetic elements se…

I'm beyond excited to announce that our article with @CRC1182 and @BEDutilh is now online @ISMEJournal! Be prepared for amazing #phage #eukaryote #microbiome interplay in #sponges and a new #CLEM imaging approach to spot #viruses in animals. Trailer⬇️ nature.com/articles/s4139…

Excited to share our new review paper!! 🥳🥳 Beyond horizontal gene transfer: the role of plasmids in bacterial evolution With @alvsanmillan, @Jav_DelaFuente , @RLeonSampedro, and @CraigMacLean9 in @NatureRevMicro nature.com/articles/s4157…

RT @oxcordero: Proud to share our latest work showing that interactions between strains govern the eco-evo dynamics of microbial communitie…

RT @MollzMP: This is great. 😎😷

While many microbiologists are not expert bioinformaticians, they are experts in the organisms they study ... Here, we introduce Bactopia, an integrated suite ... for flexible analysis of Illumina genome sequencing projects of bacteria from the same taxon.

Ever gotten a bunch of viral contigs, and wondered: "Mmnnh which ones are interesting, and which ones are just useless" ? Well, wonder no more: @SNayfach has you covered with CheckV, which automatically detect host contamination and predict completeness of viral contigs \o/

What do you expect evolution to look like in a microbial population? Check out our new study offering a view of that over 1000 generations in yeast in the lab. co-led by @alex_nguyen_ba, @jireva, in @MichaelMDesai 's lab nature.com/articles/s4158…
