The paper shows that CRISPR-mediated herd immunity in E. coli promotes frequent homologous recombination by maintaining genetic diversity and enabling gene flow, enhancing adaptation rates.

This study uses cryo-EM to show how the baseplate of phage 812 undergoes conformational changes that trigger tail contraction during infection of Gram-positive bacteria.

This paper introduces an automated workflow for cryo-volume EM that improves resolution and enables structural analysis of vitrified cells and tissues.

This study uses light sheet fluorescence microscopy to image biofilm development dynamics of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a microfluidic system.

This study characterizes the structure and replication cycle of EhV-201, a virus infecting the climate-modulating alga Emiliania huxleyi, revealing its unique mechanisms for bypassing host defenses and assembling progeny.
