🧬OTD in 1952 Joshua Lederberg proposed the term "plasmid" for extrachromosomal hereditary genetic elements in bacteria 🦠
These tiny DNA molecules play a BIG role in #MolecularBiology, biotechnology & #MicrobialGenomics 🧫

Great MERMan seminar today from NSERC PhD visiting researcher @simonjeanneau.bsky.social from @usherbrooke.bsky.social ! Also our first seminar with refreshments sponsored by @microbesng.bsky.social , many thanks for the productive chats over nibbles! 🍪 🧪
Simon next to his title slide. If I was a better Canadian, this alternative text would be in French too. :(

@stevenrudder.bsky.social's talk was 🔥 Extracting ultra-pure DNA from stool & bacteria—trickier than it sounds but critical for long-reads

🔍 Long-reads resolve repeat-rich genomes
🦠 Improve outbreak tracking & #AMR mapping
📈 Better study of mobile genetic elements
