Cheap and easy method for nanopore sequencing phage DNA directly from plaques.
Proud of lab members Brenna and Patrick for doing this work *with absolutely no help from me* !!

This is extremely chilling - virologists being targeted for what appears to be minor (if any) "offenses".
We all know _why_ this is happening, so I'm not going to belabor that point - but I want to provide some context on the technical details.

On OMB's proposal to make all grants political:
"Speak up! Now’s the time! Standing by the side of the room, glancing around nervously and hoping that somebody else does something will lead us to disaster. These are not normal times, so stop acting as if they are."

Re-upping for morning phage phriends. Hope you will find Brenna & Patrick's method useful!
Here they are, with some other lab members, on a rock.
They are rock stars.
Excited to share this new paper from the lab:

Abstract. Phage therapy offers an alternative to antibiotics for treating multidrug-resistant infections. Plasmid-dependent phages (PDPs) are promising the
Why we’re concerned about “Getting Major Projects Built in Canada” 👀 and its impact on nature and a healthy environment. Have your voice heard - read the govt’t proposal www.canada.ca/en/one-canad... and email feedback to [email protected] by June 7, 2026 🙏@baumlab.bsky.social

Unified bacterial strain taxonomies are needed for coherent communication of findings in microbiological research. This Essay provides an overview of a novel bacterial strain taxonomy and describes ho...
🚨Our collaboration with the Bar Yaacov lab on A-to-I mRNA editing in #Vibrio is online🚨🦠
Exciting findings on what genes are edited and the physiological implications. Hint: It affects #T6SS activity and reveals a possible new role for CqsA.

Canada’s ‘major projects’ should not come at the cost of the environment
Impact assessments prevent harm before it occurs. Circumventing the process before we understand the risks is misguided and a gamble with our collective future.
