Prophages are phages hidden in bacterial genomes, and they affect our health! We explored where they hang out in the human microbiome biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What would it take to add a #mastadon toot box to the #biorxiv website where the bird site one is? can you add that to metrics? @[email protected] @[email protected]

Not all proteins arise from consecutive codons. We developed a new tool - PRFect - to identify programmed ribosomal frameshifts. Designed, built, trained, and tested with #phage genomes, it also works on #bacteria and #eukaryotes too. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@linsalrob (I have no expertise but) maybe one that relies on plasmid encoded genes to get in? Eg biorxiv.org/content/10.110… From @baym and Natalia QO , whose twitter is I can't find oddly

@linsalrob One idea: you may have a look at the tremendous EOP assays (S1 data) performed for the BASEL E.coli phage collection by @AHarms485 & colleagues @PLOSBiology journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

@linsalrob That depends a bit on your definition of host range. Just recognition / lysis or also plaque formation? Phages targeting the highly conserved NGR glycan of enterobacteria are quite broad or those targeting conjugative pili of broad host-range plasmids (even cross-genus for PRD1).
