Really excited to share my first paper from the @JohnWhitneyIIDR lab, alongside an amazing grad student, Polina. We identify a chaperone family required for the folding of a domain of T7SS toxins, and solve the structure of the chaperone-toxin complex. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…

Excited to share our latest work with @AlbertoMarina14 and @AvigdorEldar labs, where we decipher the mechanism by which SPβ-like phages sense the SOS response to control the lysis–lysogeny switch. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Exciting to see a plethora of toxin/antitoxin systems (e.g., retrons, type II) identified in P. aeruginosa genomic islands with limited representation in DefenseFinder, etc.

.@jrpenades (@imperialcollege) and colleagues published a new review on #phage satellite genetics, ecology and #evolution, diving into how these elements impact bacterial evolution and virulence.
