So proud of Karen Miga Sergey Koren and our entire #T2T consortium for the first-ever "Telomere-to-telomere assembly of a complete human X chromosome"! Fills all reference gaps and reveals methylation patterns of satellite arrays nature.com/articles/s4158…

How does diet shape the #oralmicrobiome 🦷🦠? Here, we report a high level of variability in the microbiome composition of dental calculus across 40 healthy patients, and that such variation is primarly driven by dietary choices. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

An evergreen, #cortonaprocarioti group photo. Very nice to be back in presence and meet young (and old) very talented friends.

Great time in Cortona for #CortonaProcarioti 2022, finally meeting again in person. Very inspired by the impressive works presented by my colleagues and friends! 🧬 #microbiology #ScienceResearch #biotech

Happy to see this finally out. So proud of taking part to this thrilling study during my year in Università di Padova, on how Neolitical transition influenced human oral microbiome.

Seeing this out now is an awesome Christmas gift and a good way to end the year. 🎆 In this pilot study we explored the possible correlation between patients dental calculus microbiome and their diet.

MetaPhlAn 4 is published today OA in Nature Biotechnology Nature Biotechnology nature.com/articles/s4158… We added GTDB output, improved performance and comparative analyses w.r.t. the preprint version. Huge thanks to Aitor Blanco Miguez for the eroic effort and to all Nicola Segata and hutlab

Here's a new preprint from the lab presenting panfeed, a tool to improve interpretability of k-mer based microbial GWAS, led by HanNeb biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1/ Our latest work has been published in Immunity! Using PhIP-Seq, we characterized antibodies against 300K+ peptides in both a population and patients with IBD. Curious about what we found? Follow this thread for more! #immunology #NGS #microbiome authors.elsevier.com/a/1h2mY3qNrUu3…

After a long work our article on the origins and evolution of secondary replicons in Gammaproteobacteria has been published on #MicrobialGenomics Microbiology Society!!!

In 2022 I started my FEMS training experience in the lab of Marco Galardini at TWINCORE (inaktiv). This study, on the evolution of SARS-CoV2 and real-time epistatic effects identification, gathers the results of a very fruitful year. For an overview, give a look to this thread!
