Nice new paper from Lucas van Dijk & bacterial genomics group Broad Institute on StrainGE, a tool to track & characterize strains in complex metagenomes - untangles highly related strains at low abundance. Incredibly useful in many ongoing projects genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Does drinking chlorinated water affect the gut microbiome? Together with icddr,b we were able to investigate this question in urban Bangladesh. Our results provide reassurance that chlorination is a safe and effective strategy for increasing access to safe water globally. 1/n
