🚨 What if the future of carbon capture is 3.5 BILLION YEARS OLD? 🦠 Microbialites turn carbon into STONE. 🪨 Nature's engineers could inspire NET-ZERO building materials. 🌍 We're searching for life on Mars while overlooking Earth's oldest ecosystems. 🔬 microbialite.org

microbialite.org: 3.5 billion years of microbialites, stromatolites and microbial mats

How microbes learned to build rock, and kept building it for three and a half billion years: the story of microbialites, stromatolites and microbial mats.

Well done Andra Buchan!!

We used multiomics and AI to decipher the genome of phage G, the only cultivated megaphage. It's a giant phage! This work couldn't have never happened without Andra Buchan! This is truly the beginning of this phage's story. Phage G is truly a marvel ! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Unlocking the genomic repertoire of a cultivated megaphage

Megaphages are bacteriophages (i.e., phages) with exceptionally large genomes that are ecosystem cosmopolitans, infect various bacterial hosts, and have been discovered across various metagenomic...

Skeleton crew for our BITE outreach project on Bat Immunology Training. Amazing job @andrabuchan @jahensley88, @sabrinapinard, and @AlexDellinger !! We had 1,428 visitors at our booths today. More than the last two months combined! @unccharlotte @clt_cci #BITE #teamraw #rawlab

Fifteen years ago, as a graduate student, I read about a giant bacterial virus (e.g., G phage) that was isolated from an Italian lab 40 years prior to that. I have always been in awe of these megaphage.

I have always been in awe of these megaphage, which are phages that have large genomes (~500 kbp) and tend to be large in size (>0.5 um).

I'm looking forward to playing with this new approach @GB13Faithless ! Check it out y'all.

It has been public for a while, but with #VoM2024 starting, today is as good as any to introduce our new tool phage genome annotation tool Phold. Phold uses structural homology to assign functions to phage proteins (1/n)
