#Phages are key drivers of #MicrobialEvolution, but many #phage genes are poorly understood. @denish_piya @AdamArkinLab @vivek_mutalik &co use arrayed genome-wide #CRISPRi to map gene the essentiality landscape in the iconic coliphages λ & P1. #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3uLtzgU

Happy to see the first experimental project I led finally out in the world! With Jeremy Moore, Sydney Olsen, and Mike Travisano

We combined experimental evolution and mathematical modeling to ask: do bacteria evolve to swim away from phages?

I just released gcplyr v1.5.0 on github.

gcplyr is an #RStats package that makes it easy to wrangle and do model-free analyses of #microbial growth curve data

https://mikeblazanin.github.io/gcplyr/

v1.5.0 includes:
- fixes for critical bugs in derivative calculation
- improved handling of NA values, including several new functions
- new function for linear interpolation
- new args when calculating area under the curve

I *should* be writing my dissertation...

Instead I just released gcplyr v1.3.0 on github

gcplyr is an #RStats package that makes it easy to wrangle and do model-free analyses of #microbial growth curve data

v1.3.0 includes:
- new methods to calculate lag time and doubling time
- improved warnings for common situations
- improved documentation

Hey Science Mastodon: can anyone point me towards work on logistic-like growth of a population modeled as one growing subpopulation whose individuals sometimes transition into a nongrowing subpopulation?

gcplyr is currently in an Open #Beta release and under active development, so please DM or email me with any questions, comments, concerns, or bugs you find! I would love to make this tool as useful to the #microbialecology #microbialevolution #microbiology communities as it has been in my own research
