Caught fan of the show @StarlCone between talks rocking some exquisite face foliage. If you're a fan of E. Coli be sure to catch his talk Monday at 1030 in 516B. Great work sir!

Behringer lab is on our way to Montreal with an exciting lineup of talks and posters for #Evol2024!
We are also recruiting Postdocs who are interested in bacterial mutation rates, experimental evolution, transcriptional regulation, and/or adaptation to resource limitation!
23 Jul 2024
We're so excited for #Evol2024! Folks from the @RokasLab, @Ann_T_Tate lab, @megbehri lab, @CreanzaLab, @DeSantisLab, and @giannicast lab will all be in attendance! Don't forget to stop by our booth - hopefully our swag will make it over the border🤞😁

5 years ago I attended my 1st #ASMicrobe meeting in San Fran as a grad student poster presenter where I met my future post-doc advisor, @megbehri. Now, I’m back at #ASMicrobe in my home state and speaking in a great session! Come check out my talk! #fullcircle #growth #5yearplan

Hot off the presses! 📰📰
E. coli evolution in repeated 100-day Feast/Famine cycles is out in @CurrentBiology!
We see high mutational order, extreme parallelism (nucleotide level!), & early mutations can ⬆️ fitness simultaneously for growth & survival!

Preprint Alert! 🚨🚨🚨
Exciting collaboration between my group, @MarcBoudvillain’s group and @bpbratton!
From populations experimentally evolved to extreme feast/famine cycles, we find pH-sensing rho alleles that confer pH-dependent plasticity in transcription termination!

Honored that our work was awarded the Zuckerkandl Prize by @JMolEvo. This was a terrific effort by Postdoc @sb_worthan and former undergraduate Robby McCarthy! A must read for anyone who performs lab cell culture, is interested in plasticity, or collects fitness measurements!
22 Jan 2024
We're excited to announce the winner of the 2023 Zuckerkandl prize, given to the top paper in JME in the calendar year:
“Case Studies in Microbial Fitness: Seemingly Subtle Changes Can Have Major Effects on Phenotypic Outcomes”, by @sb_worthan, Robert McCarthy, and @megbehri!

Good Morning!
I’m excited to share our study in #mbio led by PhD candidate @StarlCone investigating 6mA evolution in E. coli! 🥳🧫🧬
Carl developed an R package (CoMMA) for differential methylation analysis of 6mA, so you can analyze differential 6mA too! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

August is already off to a strong start for the lab!
Great presentations by postdoc @sb_worthan and Ph.D student @owenmicro at their respective GRCs! 🙌
Awesome poster by summer undergrad Briana Harness! 👏🧫🩺
Now, a ESI-MIRA NOA to start the fall semester!! 💪🥳🥳

Excited to share our most recent paper led by postdoc @sb_worthan discussing case studies from assessing outcomes of exp. evolution. link.springer.com/article/10…
One of most interesting findings: plastic & glass tubes are not interchangeable, E. coli acidifies LB in plastic tubes 🤯

New #preprint from our lab! Here, PhD student @StarlCone has developed an R package (CoMMA) to annotate and identify differential 6mA methylation in microbes from Nanopore data. With CoMMA he observes relaxed selection on 6mA in Exp. evolved E.coli clones without mismatch repair.

Happy to share that a preprint is up for my 1st 1st-author publication! I wrote an R package for analyzing 6mA methylation in bacteria with Nanopore data. 6mA is dynamic! Less methylation around promoters, breakdown in 6mA over time w/o MMR. All the hits inside the paper!
