Beautiful new work from our colleagues down the hall 🔬🥂
I am thrilled to share the first manuscript from the Wiles lab! We present "Phollow", an in vivo phage-tagging approach that enables direct observation of phage outbreaks with single-virion resolution by live imaging. Here some highlights 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Phollow reveals in situ phage transmission dynamics in the zebrafish gut microbiome at single-virion resolution
Nature Microbiology - ‘Phollow’ is a live imaging-based fluorescence tagging approach that can track phage replication and spread in situ with single-virion resolution.

Ok, trying to bring my community back together... I created a starter pack for lipids and membrane protein aficionados!

Feel free to share, add and distribute, so we can come together again! 😍
