#prophage — Public Fediverse posts

Catching up on some personal #prophage work. Couple of tooling changes worth noting.

1> Genomad is noticeably faster at bulk processing compared to other comparable pipelines. If you haven't already you should really try it out

2> Latest Phold gpu performance feels a LOT faster and lighter

How do #phages impact #Streptomyces physiology? @BuryMone &co show that induction of the #prophage 'Samy' enhances dispersal of #multicellular aggregates of S. ambofaciens #bacteria in response to stress, likely promoting lineage propagation #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3LDRNib

Decided to take a breather and immediately found an intact #prophage in one of our data sets. #phage

Phages... So many #phage and they are all #prophage integrated into a #bacteria #genome

A few million prophages from > million bacterial genomes

Are prophages good or bad for bacteria? The data shows they provide heaps of benefits

The paper is in #biorxiv and the data is on #figshare

Interesting! Could a similar relationship be present among #prophage or other #phage signatures of #rhodobacter and their GTA elements? That would pretty much cement the authors' suspicions #microbiology

DNA life preservers. #Caulobacter produces #prophage-like gene transfer agent that mediates survival in DNA damaging conditions by providing genomic DNA from donor cells for #recombination-based repair in recipients @Tung_BK_Le @michael_laub8 #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3E0EyVR

Great job from @[email protected] showing how #prophage vary across the human body. Those sneaky #phage affect you!
