🚀 Follow-up on my recent MANIAC tweet: our new MMseqs2-blased tool is optimised for ANI and alignment fraction (AF) calculation in viral genomes. Unlike many other tools, it excels at ANI ~70%, an important range for viral taxonomy & evolution. Here’s why that matters ➡️ a thread! 🧵

We found that many bacterial species use exogenous peptidoglycan fragments - released by lysis of neighboring cells - as a general danger signal, triggering a danger response that protects bacteria against many dangers: biofilm formation. Details here 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We used multiomics and AI to decipher the genome of phage G, the only cultivated megaphage. Its 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 of biology www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
