What does it take for a mycobacteriophage to infect M. smegmatis mc² 155? 🦠🗺️ We mapped it for 70 phages using genome-wide CRISPRi. Our new preprint from the Phage Foundry is out! (phagefoundry.org) 🥳🧵 Read the preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A new preprint 🎉 from phagefoundry.org Mycobacteriophages are candidate therapies for drug-resistant mycobacterial infections, but we still don't know how most of them get into their hosts. Our new preprint tackles this challenge 👉🏽 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I'm happy to share one of my favorite projects from the past 4 years. 'Piercing mechanism in the minimal contractile tail of bacteriophage P2'. In this preprint, we applied #cryo-EM, #cryo-ET, TEM, and #computationalbiology to study the #phage P2 virion structure and its contraction mechanism.
