Reuniting cell families through gene expression memory

Reuniting cell families through gene expression memory Assigning single cell transcriptomes to cellular lineage trees has transformed our understanding of differentiation during development, regeneration, and disease.…


New Players in the Molecular Arms Race Between Bacteria and Phages

New Players in the Molecular Arms Race Between Bacteria and Phages Bacteria and the viruses that infect them, bacteriophages, are locked in a fierce coevolutionary battle. The need to defend themselves against phages has…

Eco-evolutionary dynamics of phage-bacteria interactions

Eco-evolutionary dynamics of phage-bacteria interactions Microbial communities in all environments are shaped by viral predators. Yet, resolving which viruses (phages) and bacteria are interacting, and how strongly viruses…


Of predators, vampires, and ghosts: shedding light on the lifecycles of Bdellovibriobacteria

Of predators, vampires, and ghosts: shedding light on the lifecycles of Bdellovibriobacteria Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is an obligate predatory bacterium that exclusively feeds upon other bacteria after invading their…
