My first postdoc paper is on bioRxiv! We demonstrate that sequence entanglement--in which two genes are encoded within different reading frames of the same DNA sequence--improves the evolutionary stability of high-cost genetic components. Read more here: doi.org/10.1101/2023.02.27.5…

My 2nd paper is out! We found that PilT primes the extension complex in MSHA pili. Yes- this retraction motor is required for extension!
We started out intrigued by an unusual control strain and ended up revealing interesting facets of pilus regulation.
