#MobileGeneticElements
Been a bit behind in our posts off late! So thrilled to host Dr Catherine Mageeney from the @sandialabs.bsky.social for a guest seminar in our gigantic general #microbiology class and for our #Phage #Pathways cohort earlier last week! 🙏 we loved learning about #mobilegeneticelements and #waxworms!

Our results suggest IS110s are dynamic genetic elements that can grow, acquire adaptive cargo, and help spread antimicrobial resistance between bacteria. 🧬🦠

Canonically minimal RNA-guided insertion sequences expand into large elements that disseminate antimicrobial resistance
IS110 has emerged as a powerful genome-editing tool because it is the smallest RNA-guided system capable of diverse programmable insertions. Naturally existing elements are conventionally modeled as c...

Our work expanding the Large Serine Integrase toolkit is finally out! We used alphafold-multimer to identify likely recombination directionality factors and tested them experimentally. Much credit to fantastic postdoc Heewhan Shin.
