Rowan Callum Green

🚨 We're hiring! 🚨 We're looking for a Research Assistant to join our lab @ U of Manchester. We're seeking someone with experience in #microbiology & #microbiome to support our growing group. Note this isn't a postdoc role (though keep 👀 for those soon!) jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?…

Excited to share my 1st paper along with @drbridgetwatson @TaylorLabGroup @edzewestra Sylvain Gandon and David McLeod academic.oup.com/ismej/article/… where we asked “when would using a defence system (CRISPR-Cas) be selectively advantageous over mutations that block phage binding?” 1/10

@RoderichRomhild Single gene knockout, hopefully will have a preprint in the next month or two ✏️ (it's also fully reversible to wt mutation rate with secondary epistatic mutations...)

#Evol2024 come along tomorrow morning at 10:30 in 520C if you want to hear about mutation rate/spectrum plasticity and an E. coli strain with a super low mutation rate 🧬🦠💻

@lcb_officiel @MERManchester Also, I'm going to be at #Evol2024 this week if anyone wants to chat all things mutation! I have a talk on Tuesday Morning 10:30am 9/8??

@lcb_officiel @MERManchester This paper is the first chapter from my PhD and I'm really excited to start polishing some other projects up ready for publication now! All revolve around the plasticity of mutation rates and spectra, unravelling the fundamental supply of variation in populations. 8/8

Super excited that the final version of our paper on mutation rate plasticity and oxidative stress is out now at PLoS biology! This paper shows how mutation rates are a highly dynamic trait shaped by genotype, community composition and abiotic factors. 1/8 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Very excited to be presenting the last of my PhD work at #SMBE2024! If you're interested in the impacts of nutrient environment and mutational constraint on regulatory evolution, come talk to me after lunch at poster 50 😊

Come join the most friendly and exciting microbe eco-evo group @MERManchester

@ProfExistence Bias because it's from my lab group but ecology (population density) directly effects mutation supply and hence variation available for evolution across microbial domains of life doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.2002731

Some thoughts on how to link #ecology and #evolution #biology. Please think about retweeting if your followers work in this field. Comments most welcome.

#SMBE2024 poster ready to go! Come and chat about mutation rate plasticity, h2o2, simulations, fluctuation assays and e.coli // e.faecalis cocultures. (Also @MERManchester visits teotihuacan with @flanagella , feeling very lucky to be in Mexico).

A thoroughly soggy MER-hike with this lovely lot yesterday - huge thanks to @RowanCallumGre1 for organising! @MERManchester
