Check out our work on E. coli capsules! Including a 3x extended catalog of capsule loci from >37K genomes, a scalable tool to type them in silico (kTYPr) and new associations with ecology and disease!
A joint effort from @microbiomeresearch.bsky.social @mucosalimmunology.bsky.social at @ethz.ch.

Out Now! In silico typing maps the natural diversity of Escherichia coli transporter-dependent capsules #MicroSky
Nature Microbiology, Published online: 23 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-026-02323-5Escherichia coli ABC transporter-dependent capsule gene analysis alongside the development and application of the kTYPr in silico capsule typing tool uncovers E. coli capsule diversity across environments.
