🚨 New paper led by @Jameshearsawho (feat. J Cherry & G Waugh) reveals GnT DNA motif can boost T→G mutation rates up to 1000×, & how tweaking nearby bases can fine-tune its potency. General across bacteria + potential in synbio. 📄 https://t.co/SyWK2s3wNu… 🔗 James’s thread ⬇️
Our latest paper is now out in @MolBioEvol! In this work we show that T:A→G:C mutational hotspots in bacteria are created by short nucleotide sequences (≥8bp), which we call GnT motifs. [ https://t.co/o2mrL9DodZ]. A short 🧵 below:

Evolution Fact Friday! Did you know that you can see evolution happening in real time? Our fab PhD student @MorilloHall & fab @TaylorLabGroup have developed #Evoscope, an education package for teachers to bring the process of evolution to life in real time https://t.co/2DnEe4DSxO

Evoscope is a free educational resource pack that helps you bring evolution to life and assess understanding and acceptance of evolutionary concepts.

The most important things to consider with biotech companies are 1. Do they have stickers? and 2. Are the stickers laptop-worthy? Luckily I'm here to help, and have collaborated with Forge Genetics to ensure your laptops are receiving the best stickers possible

Love phage-bacteria interactions, anti-phage systems, and a sprinkle of evolutionary biology? There’s still time to apply and join our team in Glasgow at @UofGSii !
🚨We are hiring! A MRC-funded PDRA position to study novel anti-phage systems & their evolutionary dynamics in P. aeruginosa, in collaboration with @friendlymicrobe. If you are passionate about phage-bacteria interactions & evolution, apply now !
