we’re excited to announce that QIIME 2 was funded in the @CZIScience Essential Open Source Software for Science program! brief details on our plans below, with more info coming soon. thanks to our community and @CZIScience for the support! @NAUResearch nau.edu/nau-research/a…

Thank you 2011 Mark Gerstein - I needed to say exactly this in my slide deck and this figure is quite prescient, especially thinking about commercial cloud. genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Looks like a very useful tool! Congratulations Lozupone Lab Catherine Lozupone

So happy to see this paper led by @JenniferRocca1 out in Ecology! We show that rare microbial taxa emerge during community coalescence and drive the maintenance of microbial functions and diversity.

Oh, wow! Check this out.⠀ ⠀ A farmer stumbled upon FOUR giant armadillo relatives, called glyptodonts, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Presumably, the close association suggests they were a social group. They're about 20,000 years old. ⠀ Images: CEN/Incuapa-Conicet.

When data & science are moving this fast, it's hard to keep up. After a short pause, we are very happy to have a new #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 Situation Report Narrative online at nextstrain.org/narratives/nco…. Translations will follow. Here, we cover what the latest sequences tell us. (1/2)

This study recommends truncating reads with q=18 before DADA2. Please don't do this! You will lose lots of your useful reads. My first twitterant. 1/18 doi.org/10.1186/s12859…

Our QIIME 2 protocols paper is finally online at Follow @Curr_Protocols! Long time in the making. Endless thanks to the amazing team I got to work with on this, especially Serene Jiang, the other co-1st. A summary of what makes this tutorial useful: dx.doi.org/10.1002/cpbi.1… 1/10

Our PICRUSt2 manuscript is out in Nat. Biotech. rdcu.be/b4yta Absolutely phenomenal work by Gavin Douglas #16S #microbiome #metagenomics #bioinformatics

Want to learn about microbiome bioinformatics from members of the QIIME 2 team? Mark your calendars for October 5-9, 2020 for a five-day **online** course! Details at forum.qiime2.org/t/microbiome-b…

From today, code can be an integral part of a paper published in eLife. Announcing the Executable Research Article, a new open format for research papers where code can be run directly in the browser elifesciences.org/labs/dc5acbde/…

Good new work leveraging accurate long-read amplicon sequencing to generate far more comprehensive references for specific environments. Makes standard amplicon profiling more informative and comparable across studies: mbio.asm.org/content/11/5/e… @msdueholm Mads Albertsen

My new review on bias in microbiome studies is out in the journal Microbiome! microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… I originally wrote this as part of my comprehensive exam for Dal_Micro&Imm ! I'm glad that it is now being shared with the rest of the field #microbiome
