First week as a visiting scholar in the @nizet.bsky.social lab at @ucsdhealthsci.bsky.social ! Excited to learn from everyone in the lab and very grateful for the warm welcome. Already in love with SoCal! ☀️ 🏄‍♀️

OUT NOW! We uncovered a coordinated regulation of CRISPR-Cas9 immunity and virulence in GBS. Could this enhance bacterial immune repertoires during infection? Have a read: 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 👏 congrats to all co-authors!

Cool paper by @mvmazzuoli.bsky.social from her time at the Firon lab @pasteur.fr The virulence regulator CovR boosts CRISPR-Cas9 immunity in Group B Streptococcus doi.org/10.1038/s414...

ONLINE now! 👇🏼 @narjournal.bsky.social Only an across-the-Alps collaboration could decipher pneumococcal chromosome biology! academic.oup.com/nar/article/... @jwveening.bsky.social and all the co-authors!👏🏻

OUT NOW! 👇🏼We built a make-or-break Prime editing tool—have a read to discover how it’s changing the way we do genomic engineering. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @JWVeening @AxelJans & all others authors! 👏🏻

1/ 🔬 Our work, "Dynamic transitions of initiator binding coordinate the replication of the two chromosomes in Vibrio cholerae", is now published in Nature Communications. Here's a thread on how we think Chr1 and Chr2 replication is coordinated in Vibrio. 🧵 Link : www.nature.com/articles/s41...
