Happy to share the published work of my Inst. of Bioinformatics and Applied Biotechnology MSc dissertation student! Shruti (currently at Novartis) worked hard on this project, and now, it's finally published in Microbiology Spectrum ASM. Read the full article here: journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.11… Myxobacteria

Using sequence homology, synteny, and phylogenetic analysis, the Gaurav Sharma, Ph.D. from SharmaG_omics Lab IIT Hyderabad lab explores the putative emergence of the Myxococcus fulvus 124B02 plasmid pMF1. @IITHyderabad Department of Biotechnology, IIT Hyderabad journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

Here in Varansi/Banaras (for the first time, instead of being born and brought up in Uttar Pradesh) for #inbixadnat2024. What a beautiful campus BHU BHU Official has! Looking forward to interacting with several friends, new collaborators and researchers.

GauravSharma' speaking on evolutionary lineages of myxobacteria Gaurav Sharma, Ph.D. Bioclues Gyan Lab@BHU Gyaneshwer (ज्ञानेश्वर चौबे) Bioclues #inbixadnat2024

#day1 #session1 talk by Dr. Gauram Sharma, he presented his work on tracing the evolutionary threads of mycobacterial flagella, the old world and new world myxobacteria, it was enlightening to know the power of evolution through your talk. #inbixadnat2024 #forensicscience

Thrilled to have attended InBix Adnat held at BHU BHU Official with my supervisor Gaurav Sharma, Ph.D. for the first time! I presented my poster, and he delivered an awesome talk. Such a great experience sharing our work and connecting with new people from diverse fields!

Over the last few months it has become my favourite macromolecular protein complex.

Happy to accompany seven IIT Hyderabad BTech/MTech students under the Sakura Science Exchange Program 2024 to explore science and culture in the snow-capped beautiful Hokkaido University, Japan! Beautiful experience so far. Thanks to Dr. Siddabasave Gowda for inviting us. ❄️🇮🇳🇯🇵 #SakuraScience

And that’s a wrap for 2024!🎉 SharmaG_omics Lab @IITHyderabad folks gathered at our new home to celebrate a year of milestones—personal, professional, & everything in between. Here's to #Teamwork, growth, shared laughs, and unforgettable memories of fabulous 2024. Onward🆙to 2025! #YearEndCelebration

Last day of this year, 2024, and we have the last story from the lab out on bioRxiv for this year. Check out this wonderful work by Utkarsha Mahanta SharmaG_omics Lab @IITHyderabad. Let's see where this story will land after all the pilgrimage. Enjoy the last day! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Thank you IIT Hyderabad !

150 MJPTBCWR School (B), Thuniki kids visited IIT Hyderabad yesterday. A few of us Department of Biotechnology, IIT Hyderabad had a good time telling/teaching these curious-enthusiastic kids what we do daily. Moments like these remind me why we love science. Himanshu Joshi Savita Devi Indranil Malik Gunjan Mehta, Ph.D.

Looking forward to teaching phylogenetics and sharing some of our SharmaG_omics Lab @IITHyderabad work in this one-week course on evolution at IIT Bombay. Let me know if you are near IIT Bombay, I will be happy to meet over any beverage, lunch, dinner, or morning run! See you soon, Mumbai!

First day of our school on evolution IIT Bombay ! @supreetsaini13 & Gaurav Sharma, Ph.D. discussing fundamentals of evolution, and phylogenetics. See tomorrow's schedule at sites.google.com/view/esmlab/ev… All interested are welcome to attend!

Teaching is most rewarding when curiosity drives the room! I had a fantastic time delivering two pedagogy talks on phylogenetics & one research talk at the one-week school on Evolution. Loved the energy & thought-provoking questions from students! Thanks, Supreet, for inviting.

Such a pleasure attending IBSE meeting at IIT Madras with two SharmaG_omics Lab @IITHyderabad students! Fantastic talks, impeccable organization by Karthik Raman & Karthik Anantharaman, and the joy of reconnecting with old friends while making new. Shravani also won one of the Best Poster Awards!

Preprint of SharmaG_omics Lab @IITHyderabad’s recent web server & API toolkit is online now. #HOToffthePress Read it here: researchsquare.com/article/rs-658… ---------------- Try this tool using this link and let us know your suggestions: project.iith.ac.in/sharmaglab/alp…

Many congratulations, Rachna Chaba and Swati Singh, for leading this wonderful project and finally its publication in the JBacteriology Eds ASM. Great support by Richa Kakkar from my SharmaG_omics Lab @IITHyderabad.

Happy that Utkarsha Mahanta's paper is now accepted in NAR Genomics and Bioinformatics after two revisions! She resolved discrepancies from two Myxococcus xanthus DZ2 genomes & uncovered Mx-alpha prophage diversity across Myxococcota. bioRxiv here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Student: Data analysis is so much fun! I feel like a detective🕵️ while writing code to find better ways of analysis 🔎 Me: True; except that our ‘crime scenes’ are TSV (spreadsheet) & genome files, ‘suspects’ are outliers & ‘murder weapon’ is usually bad metadata with NA values.
