Haven't used this is in a while, but a new paper from the group is a good excuse. This is monster of a paper from Sebastian Kaiser about the evolution of non-ribosomal peptides. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New paper in Science Advances, led by Jacopo Marchi (UMD) & Chadiga Khalek (Exeter/Oxford), part of a collaborative effort w/Remy Chait at Exeter, where we show via theory, models, and experiments how phage can robustly propagate with migrating bacterial populations. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A visual take on our findings that phage infection of chemotactic bacteria can lead to robust, stable propagation of viruses over distances & speeds far beyond what is typical through conventional phage diffusion/replication alone. Marchi, Khalek et al., Sci Advances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
