With Eugene Koonin, we wrote a rather comprehensive review on the origin, evolution and organization of the #virosphere. We describe all 10 viral realms and the logic behind them, and so much more. Check it out! comptes-rendus.academie-sciences.fr/biologies/ar...
Initial genomes from May 2026 Bundibugyo Virus Disease Outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda
Great work from the teams here.

If you do any work with DNA sequencing at some point, you need to assemble the reads.
Usually, we just use the contigs, but that ignores important evidence from your data, so @vijinim.bsky.social wrote agtools to explore the assembly graph and learn more!

Excited to see our latest research featured in Canadian Poultry magazine! Our team is developing targeted #phage cocktail to help control #Salmonella in laying #hens to reduce bacterial colonization, #egg contamination & environmental shedding while preserving the natural gut #microbiota.
All predicted complex structures are publicly available here: linsalrob.github.io/PHROG_struct....
Huge shoutout to Natia Geliashvili and @bedutilh.bsky.social, @linsalrob.bsky.social, @gbouras13.bsky.social, @vijinim.bsky.social, @hellmichgroup.bsky.social and Marta Bogacz! (5/n)
Huge thanks to my co-authors, including @linsalrob.bsky.social, @beardymcjohnface.bsky.social , and my co-first author Abbey Hutton! 🙏 These time-consuming experiments wouldn't have been possible without such a massive team effort!
