Super fun project working with the Zorya team. Lots of interesting discussions and crazy biology, still lots to explore!
Very happy our paper on Zorya anti-phage defense system is now published in
@Nature! 🥳 Big congrats to first authors
@HaidaiHu and @__jphilipp and all other authors! Wonderful collab with @Salmo_Lab

Fantastic summary 🧵of our most recent #phagedefence work at @microtago a bonanza of new systems to study. Congrats @leighton_payne for another stella effort. The new systems are public on the PADLOC webserver PADLOC.otago.ac.nz

>150 predicted new #phage defense systems! We validated some examples but there are too many to test them all, so we've released the Phage Defence Candidate (Pdc) systems publicly for others to explore.... PADLOC 2.0 brings an updated system definition format and new features.

Hard to believe it's been 2 years since we released PADLOC v1.0.0 😱. To celebrate, here's a new major release – 📦 PADLOC v2.0.0, with lots of new systems! 🔥 (available from GitHub/Conda and the PADLOC web server: padloc.otago.ac.nz) 🧵 1/n

A fantastic opportunity to work with great people and lots of support from MWC to have a positive impact across the motu.
We are inviting MWC ECRs to join their MWC Early Career Steering Committee, where you will generate ideas & help coordinate MWC initiatives to support NZ ECRs & drive the future direction of the committee. Submit your application to join by 20th May 5pm forms.office.com/r/FbQf3wNTAU 🤩

Fantastic example of curiosity driven research. What a journey from the first 'weird' result through to the RNAseq jackpot revealing the cryptic system. Great to see Nils' hard work and determination now out, plus a bonus thread featuring @britneyspears

Very pleased to share our ✨New Paper✨ about an epigenetic conflict between a restriction–modification system and a methylation-dependent nuclease.
