Three days left to abstract submission! The Willie Phage-tail spends most of its time chasing phages, which it believes is a more worthwhile endeavour than chasing insects. We agree, and if you do too you’ll probably want to register an abstract at https://t.co/DrdDltytsg

7 days left to abstract submission close! Today (by its insistence) we are joined by the noisy data miner! Unlike most bioinformaticians, it’s a little bit more aggressive and will scold you until you register an abstract at https://t.co/DrdDltytsg

Daria Frolova's paper in plasmid relatedness now out in MGen! She uses rearrangement distances & shared seq content to build a relatedness network of plasmids, identifies hubs which are likely transposons, and then clusters related plasmids. https://t.co/fG0GCYqKZO

First paper from my student Daria Frolova's PhD now on biorxiv: https://t.co/Ex2tbOujgG The key question: plasmids change structurally ~as fast as they mutate, so how can we decide whether 2 plasmids are "the same plasmid" for epi purposes? 1/n
