Our latest on the genetic content carried within different populations of DNA-containing particles in the oceans! Vesicles and viruses likely play distinct roles in microbial horizontal gene transfer networks. Grateful to all collaborators

Distinct horizontal gene transfer potential of extracellular vesicles versus viral-like particles in marine habitats - Nature Communications
Biller et al. use long-read sequencing of fractionated ocean nanoparticles, showing that extracellular vesicles and virus-like particles contain distinct pools of genetic information and thus may diff...

Latest from my lab: we show that extracellular vesicles and viral-like particles are distinct vehicles for horizontal gene transfer, differing in DNA capacity and functional content. EVs harbor an incredible diversity of mobile elements! #MicroSky #ViroSky

Distinct horizontal gene transfer potential of extracellular vesicles versus viral-like particles in marine habitats
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is enabled in part through the movement of DNA within two broad groups of small (<0.2 µm), diffusible nanoparticles: extracellular vesicles (EVs) and virus-like parti...
