If you're interested in chromosome biology (DNA folding, gene regulation, replication, polymer modelling and more) we're organising the below this autumn. It'd be great to see you there. Please share if you can. :-)

Giving these another airing... projects on bacterial pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, and basic mechanisms... all with a hint of gene regulation #PhD #opportunities
PhD projects available in our lab all listed in the below link. All focus on bacterial gene regulation, in the context of basic understanding, disease, or anitbiotic resistance. Deadlines in January... https://t.co/G5sWOdIohF

I can highly recommend Paul's lab's stuff... and I bet a lot of you didn't know GTAs existed (I didn't).
We have a fascinating preprint just out, revealing the widespread packaging of bacterial genomic DNA into capsids in the human gut: https://t.co/nuo0wLYRjh. Major denizens of the #microbiome implicated with broad potential impact on bacterial evolution and horizontal gene transfer

Well done Ksenia, it's been a pleasure, let's get your paper written now 🙂
Today I became Dr. Ksenia! 🥳 Thanks a lot to my PI Dave Grainger, Steve Busby and all Grainger group @GraingerLab It was awesome experience, best 4 years of PhD I could ever imagine 💫 And thanks to @JessicaMABlair and Yulia Yuzenkova for a wonderful viva 🙌🏻 @IMIBirmingham

Well done @mulecc - your PhD work just published 😀 https://t.co/8FF3Q00YGu I think we've only scratched the surface with this... H-NS allowing bacteria to direct their own evolution. Exciting times ahead...

Nature Communications - H-NS is a DNA-binding protein that silences transcription of horizontally acquired genes in bacteria. Here, Cooper et al. show that, in addition, H-NS acts as a transposon...
