Smart use of globalization and machine learning to help advance preterm birth prediction. Love it Crowdsourcing assessment of maternal blood multi-omics for predicting gestational age and preterm birth cell.com/cell-reports-m…

Thank you @PatSchloss this issue certainly impacts all working with short read tech and genes containing multiple copies+sequence variations. Personally site specific databases help me limit what specie an ASV can be. We need to find a way to report this in resulting taxa tables

So incredible to see how different diseases create different microbiome “fingerprints” in Plenary speaker,Paraic O’Cuiv’s talk! #Global Microbiome

Some great slides and personal touches from Alishum Ali in his talk about Low mass Shallow shotgun metagenomics in relation to preterm births

Thank you Kristen Fernandes for sharing😊

🎉 nice way to end the academic year

New Version: I finally found the time to update the DADA2-GTDB SSU (16s rRNA sequences) resource to the 207 release. The number of species is less than the ~65k on the release. Not all MAGs will have a well-constructed SSU. enjoy zenodo.org/record/6655692…

New Version of the DADA2-GTDB SSU (16s rRNA sequences for both Archaea and Bacteria) following the 214 release. Not all MAGs will have a well-constructed SSU. Happy holiday research zenodo.org/records/104036…
