Here’s published version of our manuscript using GWAS to investigate tailocin sensitivity in Pseudomonas syringae. TL:DR pretty clear LPS is tailocin receptor but also that P.syringae often completely swaps out its entire O antigen biosynth pathway w/ recombination

New preprint!

Ever wondered why only a fraction of genomes encode CRISPR immunity? 🧬 🦠

Turns out CRISPR is rarely beneficial against virulent phages, being most beneficial against those for which resistance mutations are rare!

An epic effort by Rosanna Wright

Resistance mutation supply modulates the benefit of CRISPR immunity against virulent phages
Only a fraction of bacterial genomes encode CRISPR-Cas systems but the selective causes of this variation are unexplained. How naturally virulent bacteriophages (phages) select for CRISPR immunity has...

Filamentous cheater phages drive bacterial and phage populations to lower fitness
Kubota et al. show that bacteria can use their filamentous phage to outcompete other bacteria, but increased phage production enables the evolution of cheater miniphages with truncated genomes. Miniph...

Sad news: Jane Goodall has died. She did more than any other human for our understanding and appreciation of our closest relatives, the chimpanzees.

That chimpanzees are Endangered tells you everything about our species and about what made her so exceptional.

Delighted to see our paper studying the evolution of plasmids over the last 100 years, now out! Years of work by Adrian Cazares, also Nick Thomson @sangerinstitute.bsky.social - this version much improved over the preprint. Final version should be open access, apols.

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue.

The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea.

Genomic diversity of non-typhoidal Salmonella found in patients suffering from gastroenteritis in Norfolk, UK. Published in MGen: doi.org/10.1099/mgen... #MGen
Fig. 1. Loss of AMR-carrying transposable element in the S. Typhimurium genome of Patient 4. Clinker [81] schematic comparing two isolates collected from the same faecal sample from an acute case (Patient 4), with no difference in time of collection. Isolate 3 represents the consensus sequence found in 19 of 20 colonies, while isolate 10 shows a loss of a region flanked by ISs (orange) that includes four AMR genes (red, dark blue, yellow and light blue). Genes are shown as directional arrows, with identical sequences coloured consistently. Homology between the isolates is indicated by black bars; regions lacking these links are absent in isolate 10.
