Strikingly, similar strategies might have evolved in DNA viruses infecting different kingdoms: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.02.19.706752v1 Spearheaded by @delphinem-p.bsky.social!20 Feb 2026 09:31 +0000at://did:plc:nc6ops4cdqsryks7nrhthrh5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfbsen2d322rhttps://bsky.app/profile/geminiteamlab.bsky.social/post/3mdflke2p7s22GT Lab (median) New Year dinner 🎉 + Clem’s farewell 😊🥲😔 at Chin-Thai Restaurant/天富楼 in Tübingen — amazing food and better company!

New work from Xueping Zhou’s lab reveals how this tissue tropism is determined in a geminivirus — and why phloem confinement can turn out to be an evolutionary advantage! https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-67827-w 🌱🦠🚷🅿️🛫🌱26 Dec 2025 11:39 +0000at://did:plc:nc6ops4cdqsryks7nrhthrh5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mav7gi2m2c23
