Experimental evolution of viruses for basic science and evolutionary medicine @yale_eeb. Tweeting papers & news from our group. Acct managed by lab members.
For those who don't know, the GRS is a mmini-meeting for graduate students and postdocs working in microbial population biology.
At this meeting we will build our professional networks, share our research, and hear from our amazing keynote speaker, @bkoskella!
*PLEASE RE-POST*
Applications for the trainee-focussed GRS immediately preceding this meeting are also now open!
We will begin accepting applicants on *Jan 15th, 2027*.
We will expedite our review for applicants requiring Visas, so please submit ASAP.

Interested in eco-evolutionary feedbacks? Microbial experimental evolution? Pleiotropy? Filamentous phages??
Check out our latest preprint, now up on BioRxiv!

For a quick summary, peep the thread below...🧵 (1/10)
Happy to share the preprint of our upcoming paper in the 13th edition of the Annual Review of Virology. In this paper, we take an interdisciplinary approach to explore how #phage therapy can increase healthcare equity around the globe. 🌏🏥 preprints.org/manuscript/202…
And finally, postdoc @_cathyhernandez is presenting an EEB poster AND rapid fire talk on her work exploring how prophage shape thermal sensitivity in ocean-derived isolates of Pseudoalteromonas sp. #ASMicrobe 🔥
This preprint is now an official, peer-reviewed paper 🥳

Is it “winner-takes all” when the simplest living things compete? Check out my fresh publication on phage coexistence in Science and a thread below🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
.@AntaniJo (@Yale) etal developed a microscopy-based technique to measure #phage attachment to bacterial cells. This method provides an alternative to the century-old Phage Adsorption Assay. Feel free to reach out with any questions: jyot.antani@yale.edu.
