📣 The Journal of Medical Microbiology is looking for Editors for the Antimicrobial Resistance section! No prior editor experience required, so it's a great first gig for an ECR. And you get subsidised attendance at the annual meeting. Open to applicants worldwide 🌍 @microbiologysociety.org

We would love feedback on a new NCBI-BLAST service we are launching today: sky-blast.com Under the hood it's the same BLAST executable and databases provided by NCBI, with a replica of the NIH's interface - providing an alternative to the US gov service that's less congested, faster & more reliable

New mechanism of gene transfer! With @tcostalab.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social, we discovered that cf-PICIs form tail-less elements that, once released, spread among different bacterial species by hijacking tails from various phages. More exciting news soon! shorturl.at/kRJqE

With @CostaT_Lab, we challenged AI co-scientist to generate scientific hypotheses. It correctly predicted how cf-PICIs spread between bacterial species, matching our unpublished, experimentally confirmed mechanism! 🤯 @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

With @jrpenades.bsky.social, we challenged Google AI co-scientist to generate hypotheses. In just 2 days, it recapitulated our unpublished, experimentally confirmed mechanism for how cf-PICIs spread between bacterial species! @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social tinyurl.com/3byyaeh2
