Editors and staff at Nature journals in the UK are on strike protesting their low pay. Their employer Springer Nature has huge profits but not paying a living wage. Look at their letter and sign if you agree! docs.google.com/document/d/1Th…

We're hiring! Our interdisciplinary group at the Centre for Bacterial Resistance Biology (CBRB), Imperial College London, has an opening for a position. If you’re passionate about science and eager to contribute to groundbreaking research, apply now and join our team!

OK, this is a big deal. Seems relevant not just to phage biologists but to most people working on metagenomes too.

Are computational biologists the drivers of research? 7 years ago I co-wrote an editorial about how computational biologists are no longer just supportive, but are now running the show. Today I would write how every biologist should also be computational. genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Badically, Poland is the place to be.

Organising data directories is EVERYTHING in data science! It's key for reproducibility, collaboration and quality. Yet I, like many, struggle with it since there's no one-size-fits-all solution. I'm keen to see tips & tricks on how people manage their projects. #AcademicTwitter

Check out our new paper at Nature rdcu.be/dMEcv We found an anti-CRISPR that pulls apart a type I-F CRISPR-Cas complex by binding to the Cas7 subunits and extracting them one at a time. Big Congrats!! to my pdf Chantel Trost who did most of the work.

Our review article about phylogenetic (gene tree-species tree) reconciliation is out. We make the case that reconciliation methods provide a natural framework for modelling/studying microbial evolution, summarise some previous work... academic.oup.com/ismej/advance-…

Punktoza w nauce prowadzi do takich właśnie absurdów.

Today we’re excited to freely share an early-version of, perhaps, the world’s most expansive genetics dataset: Logan. #bioinformatics #petabase #genetics #genomics #openscience biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Evergreen 2025 is happening, and for the first time in its 50-year history, we're taking it on the road!🎉🎉 Save the date for the 26th Biennial Evergreen International Phage Meeting, which will be held August 3-8, 2025, at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville!

Foldmason, our fast and accurate protein structure-base multiple sequence alignment method, has a logo thanks to HBKgenomics. Also, we updated the preprint, including a multi-domain protein benchmark. 📄biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 💾foldmason.steineggerlab.com 🌐search.foldseek.com/foldmason
