With @jrpenades.bsky.social, we challenged Google AI co-scientist to generate hypotheses. In just 2 days, it recapitulated our unpublished, experimentally confirmed mechanism for how cf-PICIs spread between bacterial species! @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social tinyurl.com/3byyaeh2

With @CostaT_Lab, we challenged AI co-scientist to generate scientific hypotheses. It correctly predicted how cf-PICIs spread between bacterial species, matching our unpublished, experimentally confirmed mechanism! 🤯 @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The great joy of writing a review paper is finding good quality papers in society journals from 20-40 years ago that show the same basic result as papers being published in high profile journals today.

New mechanism of gene transfer! With @tcostalab.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social, we discovered that cf-PICIs form tail-less elements that, once released, spread among different bacterial species by hijacking tails from various phages. More exciting news soon! shorturl.at/kRJqE

New work from the lab with @jrpenades.bsky.social! We discovered a biological entity that spreads among different bacterial species by hijacking tails from various phages. This finding has major translational applications due to its broad host range. More news soon! shorturl.at/kRJqE
