Happy to announce my first, first author paper has been published in @OUPBioinfo. Our software, ChemGAPP, is a comprehensive analytic package for chemical genomics datasets. Check it out! Thanks to Manuel Banzhaf, Danesh MoradiGaravand and Marco Galardini. academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…

Plasmid permissiveness of wastewater microbiomes can be predicted from 16S rRNA sequences by machine learning academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…

We used high-throughput genetics and phenotypic screening to probe the specialised functions of Bam complex associated proteins in E. coli. We reveal links to PG, ECA and LPS biosynthesis and a surprising link with DNA replication! Feedback/ideas welcome! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Out in final form: "Plasmid permissiveness of wastewater microbiomes can be predicted from 16S rRNA sequences by machine learning" in ISCB News journal Bioinformatics academic.oup.com/bioinformatics… (now fully open access)
