We all know what chaos looks like in our daily lives. Who would have known that microbes can behave chaotically? And it may have benefits... I'm thrilled to share our paper "Chaos in a bacterial stress response" by @Divya_ch_ in @CurrentBiology. doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

Thrilled to share our latest preprint! Most of the Rickettsia secretome is a mystery, and 1st author Allen Sanderlin pioneered the use of BONCAT in this obligate intracellular pathogen to solve this problem, uncovering many new effectors largely unique to this pathogen.

Can random genes do good? How are genes born? A ground breaking work by Idan Frumkin and @michael_laub8 provide an amazing insight and detailed experimental dissection - random gene birth, whose encoded protein work with cell machineries, is very feasible nature.com/articles/s4155…

Happy to share our new paper out today on WalKR; the only essential two-component system in S. aureus. We found that WalKR is at the heart of cell growth, linking cell wall turnover to initiation of DNA replication and other essential processes. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb… (1/5)
