An excellent presentation from CMR PhD student, Camila Ayala Pintos, at this year's ASM AusME conference 👏 Camila highlighted the need for a better understanding of mucosal microbial communities, and how she's addressing this important knowledge gap.

CMR Director Prof Gene Tyson recently sat down with journalist Elissa Lawrence to discuss one of his favourite topics: the human microbiome. Read more about Prof Tyson’s career as a microbial ecologist and his hopes for the future of microbiome science. qut.edu.au/news/realfocus…

A huge congrats to the CMR team for taking home the Research Australia 2024 Frontiers Award! This award recognises transformative research that could improve health outcomes in Australia and globally. We are so proud of our team and look forward to more exciting research to come🎉

Congrats to the TRI-based team from the Centre for Microbiome Research, winning a Research Australia Frontiers Award, sponsored by ourANU. Under QUT Prof Gene Tyson, the team is answering vital questions about the role of microbial communities in human and environmental health. bit.ly/3YNMIu2

We are proud to share that CMR's Prof Gene Tyson, A/Prof Luis Pedro Coelho and A/Prof Ben WoOdcroft have been named 2024 Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers! A well-deserved recognition of your dedication to advancing scientific knowledge 👏👏 See the full list: shorturl.at/d6WxE

Happy to be involved in a community spirited effort on river microbiomes from by Mikayla A. Borton Kelly Wrighton out in Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…. Gratifying to see SingleM / Sandpiper sandpiper.qut.edu.au used to establish the biogeography of novel species in public metagenomes

Excited to share “Bin Chicken”, substantially improving genome recovery through rational metagenomic assembly. Applied to public 🌍 metagenomes, it recovered 24,000 novel species 🦠, including 6 novel phyla. doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… Ben WoOdcroft Rhys Newell Centre for Microbiome Research 🧵1/6

Check out our team's latest preprint, which introduces GenomeFISH—an innovative, genome-based FISH technique that enables strain-level visualisation of microbial communities🔬 Read the full study here: shorturl.at/QmdWw

Will always be our first Rust for Bioinformatics project, a special place.

We're proud to share CoverM, a powerful open-source tool for calculating read coverage for metagenomic analyses. You can find the full article in the link below!

Congrats to CMR PhD student Georgina Joyce for an excellent final seminar today! 🦠👩‍🔬 we're so proud of all you've accomplished in the past four years.

Happy #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience! 👩‍🔬🦠 We’re proud of the incredible female researchers at CMR who are breaking barriers and driving innovation in microbiome science. Together, let's continue to empower the next generation of women and girls in STEM.

CMR is now engaging with our community on Bluesky! We look forward to using the platform to have meaningful conversations and build stronger connections with researchers and community members around the world. Join us at @cmrqut.bsky.social to hear about the latest CMR research.

Congrats to CMR PhD student Brett Babec for taking home the best student speaker prize at this year's MGE Aus meeting 🥳 And another congrats to Lara Carrington on securing the ASM QLD Branch Mobile Genetic Elements Award. Excellent work both 👏👏

Congrats to CMR's Camila Ayala Pintos on submitting her PhD thesis! It has been a pleasure to watch your hard work and dedication over the past few years, and we are so proud of everything you've accomplished. And, as always, thank you to Pam Engelberts for an incredible cake🎉

Don't miss the 2025 Science Festival Brisbane! CMR's Prof Gene Tyson will take part in a panel discussion at the session "Love Your Guts: Health and the Microbiome"—an exploration of how microbes in our gut shape our health. Find the full program here: worldsciencefestival.com.au

New Postdoctoral Research Fellow opportunity at CMR! We are looking for a Gut Microbiome Specialist and Microbial Ecologist to join our team as we unravel the complex mechanisms of methanogenesis in the cow rumen. Learn more and apply here: lnkd.in/gs83q68J

A fantastic talk from CMR's Phil b. Pope at today’s QUT School of Biomedical Sciences Seminar series. Phil shared how his team has used meta-omic technologies to interrogate the complex microbial communities that are integral to gut function, health and nutrition of animals.

We used Great Oxidation Event as a planet-sized "fossil" to add ancient dates to the Bacterial tree of life. The Conversation and Science Magazine articles show oxygen was used by non-cyanos before that cataclysm, surprisingly. theconversation.com/1-trillion-spe… science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our newest tool, CoverM, a unified software package which calculates several coverage statistics for contigs and genomes in an ergonomic and flexible manner has been published in Bioinformatics. You can find the full article at the link below! rb.gy/17w2df
