@albobson.bsky.social@albobson.bsky.social → @alexrob.bsky.socialLooking forward to all of these Crow Early Career Research Award talks at #PEQG26 starting now.
Show PostPhage receptor-binding proteins are known for their LEGO-like modularity, but we still do not fully understand their evolutionary potential and how it shapes phage host range. Our new preprint examines this systematically in Klebsiella phages. 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Thread 🧵
Show PostVery excited that @alexrob.bsky.social will have an opportunity to share some of his cool work on measles brain adaptation (joint with Ben Kerr) in this session!
Show PostJust for fun, I built a small spatially explicit model to explore a cubic cross-section of cells growing in a biofilm, based on the three main interaction types (from a 10 yr. old review). Have a look, feedback is very welcome! github.com/davideciccar...
