Exciting times! Our latest preprint is now live 🤩!
After nearly 16 yrs of running my lab, I truly believe this is one of the most significant contributions we've made. It offers fresh hypotheses about how pandemic Vibrio cholerae spreads globally. Let’s dive in!🧵..1/n

Small RNAs are key players in how bacteria adapt to changing environments. Tools like RIL-seq uncover complex sRNA-RNA networks, paving the way for innovative approaches to fight bacterial infections. Check our review in Springer Nature Protocols:
