Any good mobile genetic elements meetings happening in the next few months?

Next outreach goal, create the citizen science version of Gwent

In an Open Access journal like Nature Comms you actually cannot use BioRender figures since Biorender doesn't allow you to publish the figures you created under CC BY even if you pay for them. help.biorender.com/en/articles/86…

Our study evaluating the challenges of pan-genome analysis is now live on BioRxiv! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… (1/17)

New preprint alert!! 💥An update on the #integron model! From the Jose A Escudero lab!

We found that 'The expression of integron arrays is shaped by the translation rate of cassettes'!
Here's a thread 🧵

You can read the full paper here: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

I kind of want to buy a copy of one of these, just so that I have the possible chance of having a copy of the real one, but more likely the copy of a copy.

A wee 2024 reminder that I'm looking for a job. Ideally it would be in the UK or Ireland (Scotland would be the dream). Please give me a heads-up if you have an opening coming up or know someone who has. You can check out my interests & CV at rosssmcinnes.github.io Cheers! 😃

What we report in this new article is 2 major discoveries for the price of one:
- 10 % of bacterial genomes carry isolated cassettes!, even archaeal ones!
- They integrate through the sites that differs from the canonical attC end attI, unmasking what we have called attG.

Finally - hit me up if you see a job opening that you think could be a good fit for a (micro)biologist with a knack for science communication, data visualization, open science, and writing! Targeting Germany/Switzerland especially 🙌 8/8

Fancy getting outta this place? I got a couple of codes for the better, bluer, side. DM's open!

New in Science Magazine with Jose A Escudero. A combinatorially complete fitness landscape with >260.000 E.coli genotypes shows unexpected 🤯 properties. Despite ~500 fitness peaks in this landscape, adaptive evolution can easily navigate to highest fitness peaks science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Check out our last work with Loot Céline, Didier Mazel, Alvaro San Millan and Ole Skovgaard We have deleted the Superintegron from V. cholerae! A long-awaited feat in the field!! Despite losing 3% of the genome, the strain remains identical!! 😵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I have a few codes for the blue place if anyone hasn't made the jump yet 😊

New preprint: we resolved the E. coli plasmidome from 2-decade longitudinal survey (>2000 isolates) using long read tech: with Sergi Arredondo J_Gamma Ørjan Samuelsen ++: Escherichia coli plasmidome maps the game of clones biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
