It has been public for a while, but with #VoM2024 starting, today is as good as any to introduce our new tool phage genome annotation tool Phold. Phold uses structural homology to assign functions to phage proteins (1/n)

Reminder also to #VoM2024 attendees - The ICTV Taxonomy Challenge is open to all tools built to taxonomically classify new viral genomes. More info at ictv-vbeg.github.io/ICTV-TaxonomyC…

Liking the new Oxford Nanopore booth design at ⁦Viruses of Microbes 2024⁩. Come by for a chat about complete phage sequencing in a single, high accuracy read.

Have you been wondering what these cool capsids are at #VoM2024? Go and have a chat with artist Eveline Kolijin and hear the story behind this reef viral ecology inspired work. I loved the kirigami techniques used to make these literally pop out at you - so cool! #sciart

What an awesome experience of witnessing a live #TWiV! 😍 Absolutely captivated by Vincent Racaniello, Jolene Ramsey and special guests Rob Lavigne and Prof Dabrowska 🙌 I'll be listening out for the #VoM2024 crowd woooo in the recording 🤣

“GMP is like a pair of underpants… you don’t realize you need it until you have an accident” Great (paraphrased) quote from Anthea Bates at the Viruses of Microbes 2024 phage therapy panel. But should it be a million dollar set of golden silk undies or some dollar store briefs? #VoM2024

Carola Venturini will close this #VoM2024 session, talking about ESBL-phage interactions ... "No misbehaving phages allowed"

SEE YOU IN PRAGUE! 😍 #VoM2026
