Today was our last day sampling in the beautiful Puna of Argentina for the #MICROSIC project. It was an amazing trip, and I can't wait to see all of the results to come!

Zombie cells are now published in @NatureComms : rdcu.be/dGywc Enjoy the read and shoot me a message, if you have any questions ;)

How many SAR11 cells are phage-infected in the environment? And what are zombies🧟‍♂️? We studied phage infection in SAR11 using the🔬. Up to 19% of SAR11 cells were phage infected and many host cells were devoid of ribosomes🧟‍♂️! What else did we find? A 🧵 researchsquare.com/article/r…

Increadible story about the discovery of a protein fractal!👇🏻👇🏻🥳
Happy and super excited to share our discovery of a protein fractal! We unravel the surprisingly simple emergence of these marvellous structures and show it might have even been an accident of evolution. Read the full story here nature.com/articles/s41586-0… Or just stick around 🧵

In our article published today @Nature , we report complete all-atom structural models of a fully packaged bacteriophage particle. Congratulations to Kush Coshic on his first publication! Many thanks to Chris Maffeo and David Winogradoff for pushing this 6-year project forward.

Take a look! The gut virome is altered in a mouse model of chronic stress and is associated with changes in behavioural and immune response, which can be restored using fecal virome transfer. New paper by @jfcryan @UCC nature.com/articles/s41564-0…
