Great talk from Rob Edwards. Lots of new #phage tools to play with. Scan the QR codes.

Also he has 5 year #postdoc positions below. Seems like a sufficient amount to get some good work done.

What was antibiotic resistance like before we ever used antibiotics? How did we change what antibiotic resistance genes looked like over 100 years?

Our paper looking at resistance genes from a century of NCTC historical isolates now out in mGen:
www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

Genomic resistance in historical clinical isolates increased in frequency and mobility after the age of antibiotics

Antibiotic resistance is frequently observed shortly after the clinical introduction of an antibiotic. Whether and how frequently that resistance occurred before the introduction is harder to determin...

Synthetic biologists discuss with Nature why it’s so hard to write a genome. “We underestimated how complex biology is.” 🧪 🧬

Why is it so hard to rewrite a genome?

Synthetic biologists have the know-how and ambition to retool whole genomes. But the hidden complexity of biological systems continues to surprise them.
