Do plasmids evolve faster 🐇, slower 🐢, or just like chromosomes 🧬?
In our new paper, we tackled this question using theory, simulations, bioinformatics, and experiments!

While making data summaries - Do not listen to the League of legends and/or Arcane soundtrack. Taking a trip through memory lane for all the experiments, with such a beautiful set of songs will definitely make you cry.

Why we should have more lab cleaning days.
Experimental evolution in winter - Actually a good idea. You don't lose out on any summer fun, you get done with transfers and most importantly, you are motivated to get it done on the daily.
With EE, Linkin Park's new album and Barcelona doing well - it's actually a fun winter so far!

#Inktober 2023 Day 20, Frost. Keep your phages safe from freeze damage! Depending on the phage there are some different ways to store them, such as in 50% final concentration glycerol, or allow them to absorb to their host and freeze them in 25% final glycerol. #phage #SciArt
