Delighted to see our paper studying the evolution of plasmids over the last 100 years, now out! Years of work by Adrian Cazares, also Nick Thomson @sangerinstitute.bsky.social - this version much improved over the preprint. Final version should be open access, apols.

Working with @zaminiqbal.bsky.social is a highlight of my time at EMBL-EBI.

He's an excellent storyteller and can make even the most technical topics accessible!
