New preprint. Large genomes vibriophages have it all: multiple functions, autonomy (full set of tRNA genes!), anti-defenses, broad host range. Yet, they remain rare, pinpointing the limits of generalists. Great collaboration with @fredoleroux.bsky.social led by Charles Bernard in our lab.

Excited to share our latest preprint on the genetic and evolutionary mechanisms behind the generalism of the Schizotequatrovirus (T4 giant vibriophage). Another great collaboration with @epcrocha.bsky.social and a relay effort from my lab in Roscoff to Montreal University
