@romihadary.bsky.social and @soreklab.bsky.social 's discovery that sponge proteins constitute enormous families of viral immune evasion factors is now out in @natmicrobiol.nature.com
@reneechang.bsky.social and our lab were happy to help with this story!

Excited to see our work out in @natmicrobiol.nature.com! We uncovered broad functional diversity within phage sponge families🧽.
Huge thanks to all coauthors and brilliant collaborators @kranzuschlab.bsky.social @reneechang.bsky.social !

Folddisco is now published @natbiotech.nature.com. It’s a fast motif search for similar 3D DISCOntinuous residues like catalytic sites or zinc fingers across the entire protein universe.

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* !!

A new function for RyR domains in nucleotide signaling!
Excited to share @riveralopz.bsky.social's story at SISB2026 and the pre-print now. Thanks to @reneechang.bsky.social collaborators in Graham Hatfull's and @soreklab.bsky.social groups @kfreeman.bsky.social @romihadary.bsky.social and Jim Sun
Our paper "Gene ancestries reveal diverse microbial associations during eukaryogenesis.” is finally out in Nature.
Eukaryogenesis was likely a gradual process shaped by multiple microbial partners and virus-mediated gene transfer, rather than a single binary symbiosis.

Romi, thank you so much for all your help with this project—it was great to finally meet you in person at SISB! 😊
Esta nos la sabemos solo los sabineros de verdad! Jajaja

Thank you, Ilya! The NARP1 discovery is one of the coolest phage anti-defense stories out there, so it was exciting to see RyDEP synergize with it. Looking forward to seeing all the metabolism-related immune stories your new lab will put forward!
