If your are at #FEMS2025 conference in Milan, and are interested on dog microbiome, long-read metagenomics or both, come tomorrow to my poster (113.16P in Area B) and let's chat!

Out in Nature Biotechnology: Metagenome taxonomy profilers usually ignore unknown species. SingleM is an accurate profiler which doesn't, even detecting phyla with no MAGs. Profiles of 700,000 metagenomes at sandpiper.qut.edu.au. doi.org/10.1038/s41587… A 🧵

A comment I wrote for you is now online at Nature Communications: nature.com/articles/s4146… Oh, oh, it says "time travel will likely remain forever off the table in our universe" with a citation (poor scientist's click-bait 🥲).

If you are at #ISMBECCB2025 come listen to me present at 14:40! ismb-schedule.luispedro.org/?speaker=Luis%…

Full thread later, but Anna Cuscó 's preprint on the pet dog gut microbiome is now up at bioRxiv Microbiology doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

If you made it this far, thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed it. I am currently looking for my next research adventure. If you have insights on the microbiome/microbial genomics job market in Europe (academia & industry), or want to chat about this work, please reach out.

September 2025 updates! A focus on Anna's preprint, but several other updates too, including Faith Adegoke joining us to work on AMR and several other preprints bigdatabiology.substack.com/p/bdb-lab-sept…

New #MicrobiomeDigest is OUT  microbiomedigest.com/2025/10/02/oct… • Shanghai dog microbiome / Anna Cuscó • microbetag / Haris Zafeiropoulos • invitation for the #MVIF 42 / Microbiome Virtual International Forum   & more.   Happy Friday!
