The overlooked biodiversity loss! In a team of bright minds (Naia Morueta-Holme, Caroline Winther-Have, JacobAgerbo 🐟 🦠 & Tom Gilbert), we talk about the importance and consequences of also considering the invisible components of what we are losing.

Check out our new perspective in The ISME Journal, Diversity alone does not reliably indicate the healthiness of an animal microbiome. Claire Williams Toby Hammer [1/7] doi.org/10.1093/ismejo…

A couple new papers from the group, largely showing so-called "negative results", but with important connotations for the care of preterm infants. Both papers are open-access so I will provide only key bits here. A small thread 🧵:

New #archaeome paper alert! Growing human #archaea is sometimes really a pain, but we found a way to cultivate Methanobrevibacter species in a very targeted way: nature.com/articles/s4146…

PhD position in my lab! Exciting structural biology, cool viruses, and of course nanobodies. Excellent supervisor team, and Stockholm is also not too bad. Apply here: kidoktorand.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo…

Join my group in beautiful Copenhagen NNF Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR). A 3-year international postdoc position is available in my group. Topic is developing multi-omics foundation models bit.ly/3T98er5 #jobalert #postdoc #bioinformatics #deeplearning #multimodal #integration

📢Join us at the #NFM annual meeting October 22, 2024 @NMBU. Abstracts and registrations are now open. Dive into the latest research on fundamental and applied #microbiology #infection & gut #microbiome 👇(🧵1/2)

Very excited to share our latest preprint! Led by a great student Charlotte A. Clayton, we show how bowel prep increases vulnerability to Salmonella as well as IBD pathobiont infection. We delve into mechanisms and the many facets of this common gut perturbation. shorturl.at/lOoe4

Happy to share our new paper on the characterization of MSTV1, an archaeal virus infecting Methanobrevibacter smithii, the dominant archaeon in the human gut. This was a beautiful collaboration between Mart Krupovic and Simonetta Gribaldo labs. 👇🧵nature.com/articles/s4146…

🚨New Paper Alert! Over 8 years in the making (including 2 in peer review 😬) - I could not be happier to share our genome-wide association study of #HumanMilk Oligosaccharides in the CHILD Cohort Study - published today in Nature Communications. 🧬🤱🏻🫁 #Tweetorial 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Throwback_Thursday: 2005. This beautiful study came out that demonstrated the flexibility of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron to switch between utilizing dietary and mucin glycans depending on the dietary fiber load. Fascinating to think about what is going on inside B. theta as it

Listening to a talk by Jeff Gordon is not only about incredible science, but a true inspirational experience. His curiosity, modesty & sense of justice has clearly propelled the field of #microbiome for the benefit of humanity. A real trailblazer. Thanks for visiting us NMBU

Our discovery is now on bioRxiv! Functional Insights into Novel Extremophilic Bacteria Isolated from the NASA Phoenix Mission Spacecraft Assembly Cleanrooms (Preprint). Read more: doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.…

ICYMI, out now in nature: Global marine microbial diversity and its potential in bioprospecting Thomas Mock UEA School of Environmental Sciences UEA Research #microbiome #biodiversity nature.com/articles/s4158…

Interested in the absolute quantification of bacterial strains in fecal samples? My group has used qPCR for more than 10 years with good success, and we now published a step-by-step protocol for the design of strain-specific qPCR assays in Microbiome. doi.org/10.1186/s40168…

Birmingham will host doctoral students as part of a new international multidisciplinary training network (@hologen_MSCA) that will advance understanding of the novel field of hologenomics - how microorganism and host genetics interact - with Hall Lab birmingham.ac.uk/news/2024/new-…

A convenient nail for the SingleM hammer. See Raphael Eisenhofer's 🧵x.com/R_Eisenhofer/s… Thanks also Antton Alberdi Centre for Microbiome Research and efficient reviewers/editor.

📢Our new paper is out! We show that gene regulation in breastmilk is controlled by maternal genetics, and impacts the composition of the infant gut microbiome cell.com/cell-genomics/… Work by Kelsey Johnson, in collab w/Frank Albert Ellen Demerath and many others

A new nanopore sequencing method can translocate long proteins, enabling detection of single amino acid substitutions and PTMs across protein strands up hundreds of amino acids. #NBThighlight go.nature.com/3MJK1UC
