Our paper on benchmarking classification methods and sequencing platforms for 16S-ITS-23S rRNA sequencing is now out Scientific Reports. A big thanks to John Kenny and Calum Walsh 🇮🇪🇦🇺 for their help and support throughout. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Congratulations Meghana Srinivas This should be of use to anyone interested in long read amplicon #microbiome research.

🚨 🧬 Updated preprint on the completed BASEL collection - what's new? Some fun with bacterial immunity and a new P22 relative infecting E. coli K-12. A thread 🧵

New work from Ed and Anna from the phage centre nature.com/articles/s4159…

Celebrating Teagasc’s Food Programme. Highlighting the Food Programme’s lasting impact on the evolution of the agri-food sector. Read the full article in the latest issue of #TResearch here bit.ly/3DreXYB. Kevin Heanue

we Ryan Cook updated genomes in INPHARED millardlab.org/phage-genomes-… insightful insights into the genomes are, there are more than last month ! (its late and we havent had chance to look in detail)

Fantastic to see this comprehensive study of water kefir pangenomes, led by Samuel Breselge, now published “The core microbiomes and associated metabolic potential of water kefir as revealed by pan multi-omics". rdcu.be/ec7GT

Today we celebrated #StPatricksDay with our work colleagues - sharing some Irish food and culture with our international colleagues. Thanks to our EDIW committee for organising the event

Excited to share that one of my PhD thesis chapters has now been published! In this study, we explored strain-level variation among vaginal Lactobacillus using shotgun metagenomics, focusing on colonisation and host-microbe interactions.

Delighted to share the latest paper by the brilliant J.O.K.Emmanuel🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️...second publication from his PhD thesis...watch this space. If you're interested in Streptcoccus suis phages, you'll enjoy this! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39829746/ John Kenny Teagasc Microbiology UCC APC Microbiome Ireland

I am biased, but I second this sentiment. Lovely work by J.O.K.Emmanuel🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ where he has significantly increased the knowledge on #phage infecting the pig pathogen Streptococcus suis Teagasc Food Research Programme EGManzanilla sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Exciting phage research from J.O.K.Emmanuel🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ & John Kenny from Teagasc Food Programme! 🦠🔬 Reporting two novel phages, Bonnie & Clyde, that target pathogen Streptococcus suis which causes infections in pigs and humans. A big step in #OneHealth context. #FoodMicrobiology

Day 1 of #Microbio25 in Liverpool✅ It was great to reconnect with old friends and delegates from Ireland. Pass by poster A271 to chat w/me & John Kenny about Strep suis epidemiology and then join us on Wednesday AM in the Virus symposium to hear about phages that infect S suis :D

Great talk today by ⁦J.O.K.Emmanuel🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⁩ at #Microbio25 on his phage targeting of the pig pathogen Strep suis. ⁦Mahony Lab⁩ ⁦APC Microbiome Ireland⁩ ⁦Teagasc Food Research Programme⁩ ⁦EGManzanilla⁩

Great session at the Virology Symposium at #Microbio25 today. Huge thanks Microbiology Society for the opportunity to present some of our work on phages of S suis.

And here it is, the completed BASEL collection finally published as early access in PLOS Biology - see the thread for more details. 🤗🧬🎣

Delighted to share the latest paper from my PhD project, “Lactococcal phage–host profiling through binding studies between cell wall polysaccharide types and Skunavirus receptor binding proteins” published in Microbiology Society #MGen microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

Want to find new lytic phages .... then obviously look in bacterial genomes !!! Led by Thomas Sicheritz-Pontén , with Martha Clokie Panos G. Kalatzis , Bent Petersen and many many others... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Come work with me, Martha Clokie ,Spyridon Megremis, PhD (he/him)🇬🇷🏀☘️🎧 in the Becky Mayer Centre for phage research on the isolation and genomes sequencing of 1000s of phages for a biobank. jobs.le.ac.uk/vacancies/vaca…

🧬🐄 NEW PREPRINT: Really happy to finally share the last big piece of work from my PhD! Spoiler: Cows are great and so are their viromes 🧵1/13 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
