Very proud to have our lab’s first work published in
@cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social
! In this work, we use functional metagenomics to find phage defenses from human and soil microbiomes! Congrats to first author

My lab’s first preprint! We used functional metagenomics to identify phage defenses in human and soil microbiomes. We scaled these selections while maintaining accuracy, enabling us to examine 9 habitats for defense elements against 7 phages.

This Saturday on the Yale campus Nobel laureate Charlie Rice will lecture in honor of Dr. Brett Lindenbach. A link for seeing the event remotely is below. A chance to celebrate all the wonderful professional and personal connections many of us have with Brett.
