Phages and other mobile genetic elements of bacteria | Microbiome and pathobionts | Associate Professor CU-Anschutz | https://www.duerkoplab.org/https://bsky.app/profile/duerkoplab.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/duerkoplab.bsky.social/post/3mw72yqjje22bBetter late than never. Congrats to former PhD trainee Shelby Andersen on the publication of RADS. RADS identifies antiphage defense systems connected to small serine recombinases. The question remains, why are defense systems often placed in this context? 🤔 https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.300399123 Sep 2026 15:35 +0000at://did:plc:5acdds65cqhsb6r2wxmrixpu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mw72yqjje22bhttps://bsky.app/profile/duerkoplab.bsky.social/post/3mvnpcbxmy22qSAVE THE DATE! We are excited to announce that the 7th International Conference on Enterococci will be held 25-28 August, 2027 in Munich!! Registration and other details to come soon.16 Sep 2026 17:51 +0000at://did:plc:5acdds65cqhsb6r2wxmrixpu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvnpcbxmy22qhttps://bsky.app/profile/duerkoplab.bsky.social/post/3m3nev47t6c2dExcited to share some new work from the lab, led by @shelbyeandersen.bsky.social where we developed a method and computational pipeline to identify antiphage defenses across diverse bacterial phyla.
