Here’s my spreadsheet of starter packs (>80!) related to broadly ‘mechanistic biology’ plus some intriguing extras

Complete with collective nouns

I’ve been tracking these but now can’t keep up

Hope it’s helpful

Large scale capsid-mediated mobilisation of bacterial genomic DNA in the gut microbiome
Here, we present a novel approach to study packaging and mobilisation of bacterial DNA in complex microbial communities, such as the human gut microbiome, by viral or virus-like capsids. Transducing b...
