Zhulin Lab

@miguel_matilla Thank you!

@zhulinlab Happy birthday!!!

@tatta_bio Well deserved!

@zhulinlab Thank you!

A really cool platform for annotating new bacterial genomes and metagenomes. Intuitive, biologist-friendly interface and a powerful gene neighborhood tool. So, if you have a new (meta)genome - don't go anywhere else. It's free (I don't know why -)) - seqhub.org

A ligand-binding sensor domain got a tiny insertion from cytochrome c, which contained a heme-binding motif, and now it is a nitric oxide sensor. As simple as that: biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

@compGenomics Seen exact same thing :)

Two comments after my course: "After this course, I understand that I want to study bioinformatics" "The course made me make sure that I have zero interest in Comp Bio" Glad to see both. Knowing what you don't want to do is as important as knowing what you're interested in.

@SujeetKumar_LSU Thank you, Sujeet.

What are the odds? Two PNAS acceptances, 28 minutes apart. Maybe I should start buying lottery tickets?

We keep learning new things about bacterial flagella: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

ChatGPT says: The two spellings Zhulin and Jouline are both transliterations of the same original Russian surname Жулин — but they follow different conventions: Zhulin - Anglo-style transliteration, JoulineFrench-style transliteration. Are we clear now :-)?

Our last review now out in Trends In Microbiology: Structural and functional diversity of sensor domains in bacterial transmembrane receptors @BLASTMeetings @SEMicrobiologia @miguel_matilla @gavirius @Eli_Monteagudo @zhulinlab sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Cache-containing chemoreceptors by AlphaFold. One is sober, another is drunk as a skunk. Managed to cross the membrane twice. "How many ligands did you have, Dude?"

Our heartfelt thanks to our reviewers, authors, readers, and followers. In 2024, we achieved over 1.075 million full reads and published 227 articles. This incredible milestone wouldn’t have been possible without your continued support.

Interested in anti-bacteriophage defense systems? We have an open PhD position in cell biology of bacteria and bacteriophages: nature.com/naturecareers/…

@CKeithCassidy Well deserved, my friend. Glad you're doing well in Mizzou!

@zhulinlab Many thanks, Igor!

Not only a beautiful image and a beautiful structure, but also an example of a tour de force that can be achieved when two talented assistant professors join forces!

Just appeared: How knowing physics helps to understand bacterial strategies of resource allocation. Congratulation @LisevichIra on this paper! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Usually, things evolve from simple to complex, but occasionally they say "Well, wait a minute, let's go back to where we were..." pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

@kenneylj Oh, Linda. I am so sorry. I cannot believe it: we were just walking on the beach and having great conversations during the happy hour in your house. Mike looked so great and full of energy. My sincere condolences. Love. Igor

My heart is broken as I announce the passing of my beloved husband, science partner and friend, Michael Sheetz. A remarkable scientist we packed 40 years of living into 20. Rejuvenation of senescent cells and mice in Press in Aging Cell; his last words were this was his best work

The Institut Pasteur is leaving X. Due to serious issues observed since its acquisition by Elon Musk, the Institut Pasteur is suspending its activities on this platform starting today and invites its followers to join on other platforms. ➡️ linktr.ee/institutpasteur
