Paper: Evading while invading: induction of CRISPR-Cas by mucin as a mean to escape phages adhered to mucus.

Pre-print: CRISPR-Cas effector specificity and target mismatches determine phage escape outcomes.

Research scientist/engineer to explore how bacterial CRISPR-Cas systems provide anti-viral immunity to bacteria, to ultimately aid in the understanding of the relationship between CRISPR-Cas systems and phages.

Paper: RNA targeting with CRISPR-Cas13a facilitates bacteriophage genome engineering

Sean Meaden (University of Exeter, UK) and colleagues published a new paper in Current Biology showing high viral abundance and low diversity are associated with increased CRISPR-Cas prevalence across microbial ecosystems.
