🎉 Exciting news! We've just published MVP: a Modular Viromics Pipeline 🦠✨ journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10.11…

If you work with metagenomes (or metatranscriptomes), would like to explore what viruses/phages are in your datasets, but don't know where to start, we have (an) MVP for you now \o/ Really happy to see this one published, and also welcoming feedback/suggestion of improvement!

I'm looking for a 3-year postdoc to reconstruct food webs from environmental DNA and traditional approaches with fieldwork in Icelandic streams, Italian coastal lagoons, and the Celtic Sea. Part of a The Leverhulme Trust project with @stefanako71. Apply here: vacancies.essex.ac.uk/tlive_webrecru…

We will be at the open house on Oct 13! Come chat with graduate students Ben Mingoa, LuzMaria Soto, Ariel Cheng, Postbac scholar Morgan Hernandez and PI Archana Anand about their interests and research in #microplastics and #microorganisms! Estuary&OceanScienceCtr SF State @SFStateBIO

New episode out! We talked with @EvelienAdri group leader at the Quadram Institute. What are the must-have bioinformatics skills every phage researcher should have? And what tools can help you get there? If you want to know just listen to this episode. open.spotify.com/episode/34BsVu…

New preprint from our lab. Supported by DOE BRaVE phagefoundry.org. We introduce a resistance persistence framework to look at #amr in environmental reservoirs such as #waste streams; This work is graduate student led, >50% of authors are URM and/or 1st gen. More here:

We just had our quarterly Champions call! We presented our Champions with a range of upcoming opportunities for them to help shape the NMDC products, network at events, and share their own work with peers and potential collaborators. Learn more and apply: microbiomedata.org/community/cham…

🙌 we made it!! check out our project phagepathways.com So grateful to DOE Office of Science Exciting times ahead for SF State San Diego State University UC Davis students!
