Synopsis: The Seed lab works with V. cholerae and ICP1 (phages found with V. cholerae in cholera patients in Bangladesh) to understand bacterial immunity and phage invasion strategies. The focus of the lab is to understand the mechanisms of phage interference by V. cholerae PLE (phage inducible chromosomal island-like element) to mediate the CRISPR-Cas system found in some ICP1 cells.
