Love staying at the Royal Society for the views! Here for the Hooke meeting tomorrow on the ecology and evolution of microbial immune systems along with all the @multidefence.bsky.social crew. Looking forward to some brilliant science.
We have another position advertised 😃 with @taylorlabgroup.bsky.socialwww.bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy... Applications close on 9th September.
New paper looking at the spread of CRISPR-Cas in bacterial populations. Congratulations to @josie-e.bsky.social on her first, first author paper 🎉! Check out her brilliant thread below. Happy to see this work out in the wild.
Excited to share my 1st paper with @bridgetwatson.bsky.social @taylorlabgroup.bsky.social Edze Westra Sylvain Gandon & David McLeod academic.oup.com/ismej/articl... where we ask “when would using a defence system (CRISPR-Cas) be selectively advantageous over mutations that block phage binding?”1/10
Abstract. Bacteria contain a wide variety of innate and adaptive immune systems which provide protection to the host against invading genetic material, inc
