MGE-UK-4 We are thrilled to invite you to the fourth edition of the MGE UK Workshop, hosted this year in the historic City of York. Mobile Genetic Elements (MGEs) are the ultimate architects of biology. MGEs i...

It is a pleasure to announce the 4th UK MGE workshop will be in York on 23rd-24th June 2026! Registration is free and we are actively looking for contributors. Interested? If so, please register via the website and select the talk option

We look forward to seeing you in York!

Fascinating to hear about the unseen diversity in the viral world, the pros & cons of sequencing methods, and the massive biases in current databases - much work still to do!

Thanks also to the sponsors - Starlab, BIO-RAD & BMKGENE - whose support allows us to put together such a great programme!

Inspiring seminar by Andrew Millard this week for the York #Microbial_Life series. His lab's work with viruses in cow pats and slurry took me back to my PhD days sampling #phage from Cheshire farm puddles.

Still time to apply for an exciting #BBSRC #PhD opportunity I am offering @biologyatyork.bsky.social with @seanmeaden.bsky.social & Hong Gao (Tees). Join an interdisciplinary team to study how viruses shape bacterial evolution and the spread of antibiotic resistance. Apply by 7th Jan bit.ly/4jfv9wx

Still a couple of days left to apply for this postdoc #job. With access to world-class facilities, you will unravel the DNA-packaging mechanisms used by #phages and the unusual #GeneTransferAgents, and explore the impact of these tiny machines on evolution, resistance, and biotech. @ukri.org #bbsrc

Mark Dillingham facing the audience while presenting a talk at the University of York. Protein structures of the RecBCD complex are shown on the projector screen.

Fantastic @biologyatyork #Microbial_Life seminar yesterday by Mark Dillingham, @dillinghamlab.bsky.social 🧬🧪. An engaging talk and fascinating to hear about RecBCD, phage-host arms race, DNA mimics and the enigmatic retrons! Massive thanks to BIO-RAD, Starlab and BMKGENE for their sponsorship.

🚨Exciting #Postdoc opportunity in the Fogg & Antson labs: 3-year post based @biologyatyork.bsky.social to explore the #StructuralBiology & mechanism of viral DNA-packaging motors using cutting-edge #Cryo-EM, biophysical and molecular approaches. Apply by 9th Oct at bit.ly/3Iz3bOu #ScienceJobs
