Day 3 is a favourite of ours! Not only has @emmabeansworth.bsky.social shown us genome rearrangements are another type of #variation to watch for in #bacterial #genomics & all the possible pathogenic phenotypes these rearrangements change
And... today is Em's gateway into Christmas jumper month+...
This year's new intake of @mmbdtp.bsky.social students are enjoying getting stuck into @gemma-langridge.bsky.social's #comparativegenomics for week 4 of their bioinformatics training, with a couple of the #OG students @nisbetalice.bsky.social & @eh-hayles.bsky.social assisting!🧵1/3

#IAmABiologist "All living things have DNA in their cells- a set of instructions that tells each cell what to do. Bacteria can shuffle these instructions to help them survive new stresses and environments. I study the order of these DNA instructions in disease- causing bacteria to understand whether it affects how long they can persist in humans and how well antibiotic treatments work." Emma Waters, Senior Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Bacterial niche adaption at the Quadram Institute.
Celebrating #IAmABiologist we hear from Emma Waters, Senior Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Bacterial niche adaptation at the Quadram Institute. #BiologyWeek
