Thrilled to welcome @ortizdeora.bsky.social to the Secor Lab! 🧬 Her recent paper in Nat Micro (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) introduces Phollow, a powerful tool to track phage-host interactions. We'll use it to study phages in the tick microbiome + Lyme disease spirochetes.

🚨New paper!
A prophage-encoded sRNA limits lytic phage infection in adherent-invasive E. coli.
Huge thanks to members of the Round Lab, @duerkoplab.bsky.social, Wiedenheft Lab, and phage legend Sherwood Casjens.
