Calling all OrthoFinder users!
We’ve just released GLADE, a tool to infer gene gains, losses, duplications, and ancestral genomes across a phylogeny.
GLADE runs directly on OrthoFinder results.

New preprint led by Ellie Tong! Using phages targeting the inner core of LPS in PAO1, we found that when bacteria evolved resistance to one phage via genomic deletions, they became vulnerable to another revealing a resistance trade-off. #Microbiology #PhageTherapy
