Delighted to see that our Populus super-pangenome study is featured as the cover story in the latest issue of Molecular Plant!

Oh nice! nature publishes another amazing advertisement for an amazing product masquerading as a scientific publication with no code, no model & a webserver that allows 10 queries at a time from a billion dollar company. But it's "gold" open access folks! Rejoice!

How did these authors miss the opportunity to paraphrase Watson and Crick? “It has not escaped our notice that these findings have implications for the capabilities of large language models/AI”. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Open PhD position in computational microbiome research, covering population cohorts, microbial ecology, epidemiology & multi-omic integration. In HoloGen EU doctoral network / international applicants are eligible. Turku, Finland. PM for details.

Congratulations!!! This is the worst kept secret in all of ML.

In a perfect microbial world we would all work with genomes/MAGs/isolates…but we are not there yet, and the old workhorse 16S rDNA gene still has a role to play. If you missed 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 poster at #ISME19 check out the preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are seeking a PhD student within comparative evolutionary genomics. What happens with gene regulation after the genome is doubled? Help us find out using RNA-seq, ATAC-seq and Hi-C data! Supervisors: Torgeir R Hvidsten and @srsandve jobbnorge.no/ledige-stillin…

Are you interested in learning about microbes living in the salmon gut? Then check our new paper by @SabinaLLaRosa JacobAgerbo 🐟 🦠 @srsandve Morten T Limborg and Phil b. Pope nature.com/articles/s4156…

A fishy tale about the the Salmon Microbial Genome Atlas is now out in Nature Microbiology. We hope this culture and genome biobank provides a functional resource to the community and supports the next generation of salmon gut microbiome projects. nature.com/articles/s4156…

4 years of collaboration has poured into this resource! Massive thanks to @SabinaLLaRosa and Arturo Vera for driving this and of course all our partners coming from @UniNMBU and abroad @srsandve Torgeir R Hvidsten Morten T Limborg Molecular Systems Physiology Group Stefan Bertilsson
