Well done Andra Buchan!!

Skeleton crew for our BITE outreach project on Bat Immunology Training. Amazing job @andrabuchan @jahensley88, @sabrinapinard, and @AlexDellinger !! We had 1,428 visitors at our booths today. More than the last two months combined! @unccharlotte @clt_cci #BITE #teamraw #rawlab

Fifteen years ago, as a graduate student, I read about a giant bacterial virus (e.g., G phage) that was isolated from an Italian lab 40 years prior to that. I have always been in awe of these megaphage.

I have always been in awe of these megaphage, which are phages that have large genomes (~500 kbp) and tend to be large in size (>0.5 um).

We used multiomics and AI to decipher the genome of phage G, the only cultivated megaphage. It's a giant phage! This work couldn't have never happened without Andra Buchan! This is truly the beginning of this phage's story. Phage G is truly a marvel ! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Major MetaCerberus update to version 1.4.0 Removed Ray MPP with our own custom MPP called HydraMPP. This will increase speed and remove bugs/security issues with Ray library VOG database has been updated. Update ASAP!! Metacerberus link: github.com/raw-lab/MetaCe…

@vivek_mutalik excellent talk !! The threat of AMR based bacterial pathogens is real! Amazing phage talk

@ben_a_adler @bradyfcress the dynamic duo of phage engineering. Great talk!

Our #VoM2024 Synthetic Biology session explores the world of engineered viruses, genetic circuits, and innovative applications. With invited speaker @vivek_mutalik kicking us off with his Phage Foundry research followed by Susie, @bradyfcress, @ben_a_adler & @YuHengLau ✨

@gregory_annc excellent talk. Showcasing viral ecology! Well done. I am looking forward to vulture viromes in the future.

Really proud of @ben_a_adler for winning one of two Best Oral Presentation by a PhD/Postdoc awards at #VoM2024!

I'm looking forward to playing with this new approach @GB13Faithless ! Check it out y'all.

Representing @unccharlotte @UNCC_BIGScience @NCRCampus and cipher at Viruses of Microbes here in Cairns Australia. Talking about MetaCerberus for annotation and analysis. After starting travel on Sunday in NC just got to Australia at 2pm Tuesday. @VoM_2024 #phages

Amazing talk on jumbophages! @liyuping927 well done! Good luck with your new group. Hope to say hello before the end of the meeting. @VoM_2024

Amazing talk from former labmate @the_fischer_lab on giant viruses and virophages. @VoM_2024

I am hosting a session of talks at ASV 2024. Session W5: Novel Methodology & Technology I. Thanks for the great turnout! - via #Whova event app Check it out on Monday at ASV. #viruses #methods #tech #rawlab #teamraw
