Our latest paper is out in mSystems! We sequenced the oral microbiomes of a large cohort of children and their caregivers from the ECHO Family Life Project. Check it out: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms… UCI IISBR Katrine Whiteson UCI Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences UCI Microbiome

Very excited and proud to see our manuscript out in Nature Communications! Wastewater sequencing reveals community and variant dynamics of the collective human virome nature.com/articles/s4146…

Want to see what 1,425 human metabolomes looks like? Our latest preprint is out! We ran LCMS metabolomics on saliva from children and their caregivers as part of the Family Life Project. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Katrine Whiteson UCI Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences UCI IISBR UCI Microbiome

It took me SEVEN years to figure out that you can save a ggplot as a vectorized .svg file ggsave("file.svg"). The svg file can be opened on powerpoint and it will be completely vectorized, even text are still recognized as text boxes! No more recreating plots on illustrator!!!!!

This is so cool. I’m pleased to share version 1.0 of our new dashboard for displaying data from our wastewater metagenomic project. This is a collaborative projected between MU, U. Wisc Dave O'Connor, and SecureBio; funded by Inkfish and Open Philanthropy. 1/ lungfish-science.github.io/wastewater-das…

I’m thrilled to announce the update of our water surveillance dashboard. Many improvements, and our first substantial move into ‘OneHealth’. Read to the end to find the Easter Egg. 1/ dholab.github.io/public_viz/001…

We have an epic line-up for the SoCal Microbiome Symposium at CalTech on Sept 19th, Sarah Allard, Ariane Briegel, Nandita Garud, Sarakis Mazmanian, Joel Sachs, Julia Schartzman, Emily Stein and David Underhill. Thanks to hosts Margaret McFall Ngai and Ned Ruby!
