Great work of authors Fultz, McKinlay and Enganti to fully sequence the Arabidopsis NORs (adding the final missing ~9.4 Mbp of the genome), and map the positions of active and silenced rRNA genes within them, is now published, open access !

Sequencing and activity mapping of Arabidopsis thaliana NORs reveals the epigenetic parameters of their alternative on/off states.

It is my pleasure to share our new research now out in @mbiojournal . Our analysis approach can be used to focus on phage-encoded auxiliary genes important for manipulation of many host traits. 🧵#phage #sporulation #AMG

Phages acquire bacterial genes and use them to alter host metabolism in ways that enhance phage fitness. To date, most auxiliary genes replace or modulate enzymes that are used by the host for...

My first postdoc paper is on bioRxiv! We demonstrate that sequence entanglement--in which two genes are encoded within different reading frames of the same DNA sequence--improves the evolutionary stability of high-cost genetic components. Read more here:
