Interesting, and sequencing-based.
"These findings definitively point to the ancestral origin of the Columbus lineage within the noble houses of Northern Spain, specifically the Zúñiga (Navarre) and Sotomayor (Galicia) families"
Do you reckon this will settle things?

Bacteria have been fighting off viruses using a huge arsenal of molecular weaponry that scientists did not know about — until now. Researchers have identified proteins that could lead to virus-fighting drugs and technologies.

A big advance in the field of bacterial immunity, from the Bernheim and Laub labs

Two research teams mined genomic data from bacteria to create databases containing thousands of antiviral defence proteins that could inspire powerful biotechnologies.
"Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are." It turns out, microbes follow the same rule!
Very proud to share our lab's new paper in @natmicrobiol.nature.com showing that bacteria don't just respond to their environment, they respond to each other.

New preprint alert!!! 🚀🤓 We are very happy to finally share this with the world — the result of seven years of work and a new tool to study integrons and discover new functions encoded in these bacterial platforms.

Biotic interactions modulate protein abundance, reducing functional redundancy and increasing productivity in complex bacterial communities.
Check out Snorre's latest preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... I love this story: our 4-species synthetic bacterial community coexists across many simple environments and conditions. We show why (spoiler in the title)
How diverse is bacterial immunity ?
We report in @science.org how language models allowed us to predict 2.4M antiphage proteins spanning >23K novel potential systems.
