New Preprint 🥳 Here we wondered how phages that have been extensively studied in laboratory E. coli strains actually behave when they encounter a real pathogen such as O157:H7 strain...one with a far more complex cell surface & one of the most consequential foodborne pathogens

🔔 New Preprint 🎉 from phagefoundry.org/ 🥳 Super excited to share our work on generating systematic 95 phage-99 MDR P. aeruginosa strain interaction dataset & use of ML to predict phage susceptibility & phage cocktails from target genome sequences alone, w validations.

🥳 Huge preprint 🔔 Today we share something our group has been working toward for a long time, led by @LucasMoriniere We asked can we predict which receptor a phage targets from its genome sequence alone? For most phages, we couldn’t. So Lucas set out to do something crazy!

This is the first of a powerful set of work from this amazing team! I am extremely grateful to work with these amazing young scientists-@AveryNoonan and @LucasMoriniere, my long time colleague and friend @vivek_mutalik and the EDGE and Phage Foundry teams. This group is on fire.
Posting here after a year to share: 📣 New preprint from phagefoundry.org team 📣🎊🎉 We developed a solid machine learning framework & to predict strain-level phage-host interactions across diverse bacterial genera from genome sequences alone. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

#Phages are key drivers of #MicrobialEvolution, but many #phage genes are poorly understood. @denish_piya @AdamArkinLab @vivek_mutalik &co use arrayed genome-wide #CRISPRi to map gene the essentiality landscape in the iconic coliphages λ & P1. #PLOSBiology plos.io/3uLtzgU

In this work, we bring OrthoRep’s mutation rate up to 10^-4 substitutions per base, allowing us to durably hypermutate and evolve chosen genes in vivo at 1-million times the genomic mutation rate of the host yeast cell. What does this afford? biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Thanks to Rob Ferl and Krysyn van Vliet for leading us! The NAS staff, the folk who briefed us and helped with the analysis of the large scale proposed studies, and the panel members were all an honor to work with-- and more importantly--fun!
