What have we learned over the past 30 years since the discovery of the first TIR-containing plant immune receptor? Cloning of the necrotic-type response gene (N gene) from Nicotiana glutinosa in the 1990s identified the first Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR)-domain-containing nucleotide-binding domain and leucine...

Systematic characterization of PBP2 as the primary siderophore recognizer in Actinomycetes and other Gram-positive bacteria Iron is a scarce yet essential nutrient for bacteria. Microbes often acquire iron by secreting siderophores, a diverse group of small molecules that form high-affinity complexes with iron for microbia...

One more piece towards the microbial "IronNet": In G+ bacteria, the PBP2 receptor is the siderophore-specificity determinant. But, it can be located half a genome away from the synthetase. The solution? Transcriptional co-regulation: doi.org/10.1099/mgen... #Genomics #Siderophore

One of the earliest mentions of bioinformaticians as a profession... from William Goad's 1978 proposal to create the Los Alamos DNA Data Bank. This was funded and the "data bank" was created in 1979 - and later became GenBank in 1982.

Training during your PhD: what my first year of my PhD studies taught me. PhD student Marine Folgoas reflects on the first year of her PhD and the important role training has played in developing her skills as a researcher.

💬 "From machine learning courses at Earlham Institute, to field training at @rothamsted.bsky.social, the summer school in Bologna and the #genomics workshop in Czechia, each experience has helped prepare me for the challenges of my project."

BLOG: What my first year of my #PhD studies taught me.

I manually annotated the every gene in the Heterodera glycines genome.
Has anyone else survived this?
Learned a ton—but wow, what a test of patience.
