I am very excited to finally share what has been the main focus of my PhD for the past almost 3 years! It is about viral dark matter and a powerful tool we built to shed light on it. 🧬💡

In oysters, some stay identical for years.
With >1,200 phages & 600 Vibrio genomes, we reveal long-term stability and new mobile elements.
Proud of this collaborative work across our teams (Roscoff-UdeM and @epcrocha.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

lab! In the first, we uncover a new mechanism of satellite transfer: cf-PICIs hijack tails from diverse phages to spread across species.

I am looking for phages infecting Streptococcus pneumoniae to test a phenotype - does anyone have some and willing to share ?
Repost appreciated :)

We present RBPseg, a method for structural prediction of #phage receptor-binding proteins.
We applied it to diverse tail fibers and validated the predicted structures using #cryoEM.
