We wrote a short โBehind the Paperโ post about our HIDEN-SEQ journey together with @aharms485.bsky.social.
Check it out: go.nature.com/4yBHsdy
Special to share it with the @natmicrobiol.nature.com cover, featuring the amazing art of the great scientist and artist Sophia Zimmermann from our lab!
Cover image alert ๐จ๐จ๐๐ผ - check out the amazing drawing of Sophia Zimmermann from our group in Nature Microbiology @natmicrobiol.nature.com !
Fun fact: Sophia initially drew it as a present to Dorentina @humollidorentina.bsky.social when we celebrated her recent paper on TnSeq with phages ๐ฅ๐.
