Congrats @callumverdonk.bsky.social on your 1st-Author NAR paper doi.org/10.1093/nar/... together with @charliebondxray.bsky.social, characterising RdfS, the multifunctional recombination directionality factor ‘excisionase’ of the symbiosis islands (Integrative & Conjugative Elements).

The International Society for Plasmid Biology and other Mobile Genetic Elements are finally in Bluesky!! 😎😎😎

Susan Gottesman and Gisela Storz, pioneers in regulatory RNA research, reflect on their personal scientific journeys and the evolution of their groundbreaking group research in two compelling articles. Gigi: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Susan: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #RNA

Given hyperbole about this paper www.nature.com/articles/s41... in the news today (eg www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...) it is a good day to post this classic from >20 years ago: www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

I can't believe it's almost time for our MGE meeting. I'm so excited to spend time chatting about mobile elements with such a great line up of speakers and topics. www.mgeaus.org/full-program
