Today David Barnett from Maastricht University is giving us a workshop on his #rstats package #microViz for #microbiome analysis. Got curious? 🔎david-barnett.github.io/microViz/index…

1/5. Make collider bias make sense. (I'll try) Conditioning on a collider (variable caused by outcome and predictor) induces a noncausal association between the predictor and outcome. But why?

First paper of 2023 is out in #GutMicrobes! HMO's, antimicrobials and the neonatal gut microbiota👇 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… Big congrats to 1st authors David Barnett Martha Florencia Endika and thx to great collab with MaCSBio Wageningen U&R Food Chemistry Laboratory of Microbiology at WUR Maastricht UMC+ and many others

"The person-to-person transmission landscape of the gut and oral microbiomes". Our work on microbiome stransmission published today open-access in nature! Fantastic work Mireia Valles-Colomer, the whole Segata Lab group CIBIO - UniTrento and all the collaborators! nature.com/articles/s4158…

I am excited to share the preprint of my first postdoc paper (with Ran Blekhman Frank Albert @DemerathE), “Human milk variation is shaped by maternal genetics and impacts the infant gut microbiome” !!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… This project began…

👉Important message: a striking lack of correlation between #pathway abundance🦠and plasma #metabolite levels🩸(cohort, n=1055), emphasising that gene abundances in gut metagenomes are not (on their own) a useful predictor of plasma metabolic outputs. nature.com/articles/s4158…

We’re “pivoting” Elicit with GPT-4 😉 Elicit in 2022 took unstructured text in papers and structured it into a table. Elicit in 2023 will take this structured text and enable you to “pivot” it, grouping it by concepts. Sign up here: elicit.org/gpt4-waitlist

⏰In less than 16 hours for Pacific time zones! Check your local time & date ⬇️ Yesterday we had a great Atlantic event, join our speakers to discuss their works! 🤩

Hooray! 😁Thanks to collaborators on this work especially Martha Florencia Endika Wageningen U&R and my supervisors @artsilja & John Penders at MaCSBio & MUMC-MMI 🙏 And thanks to the organisers of MVIF! I highly recommend attending the next editions of these free online microbiome events!

Human milk oligosaccharides, antimicrobial drugs, and the gut microbiota of term neonates: observations from the KOALA birth cohort study Speaker: David Barnett youtube.com/watch?v=KUe_ye…

Great experience last week, being part of the evomics workshops again! 🤩 I highly recommend joining the next edition in Jan 2024 ❄️ evomics.org/workshops/work… Gain a broad practical foundation in genomic bioinformatics 👩‍💻🧬 and also have fun in an inspirational environment! 🥳🏞️

What effect do #prebiotics have on infant gut #microbiota resilience after antibiotic exposure? Martha Florencia Endika David Barnett Hauke Smidt et al. use a cool in vitro colon model in frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
