Our efforts with the Piel Lab analyzing 35k population, single and isolate genomes reveal the remarkable biosynthetic potential of the global ocean microbiome, including in a new group of metabolically ‘talented’ bacteria. Have a look at the preview! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Genomic localization and quantification of inducible prophages in gut microbial strains - in vitro and ex vivo. Congrats Mirjam! microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

The latest chapter of our satellite DNA saga is now online! Yukiko M. Yamashita ETH Zurich D-BIOL @ ETH Zurich We think we've identified THE cellular phenotype of the hybrid genotype in Drosophila! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… But first, a little backstory...

Types of Microbial Bioinformatics Papers.

To put this mildly, this is not a good idea...

New version of mOTUs presented at #IHMC2021, which allows to profile more than 20,000 new species without reference genome. Work from Microbiome Research and Zeller Group.

Arabidopsis mutant analysis and synthetic community experiments show that the immunity-related NADPH oxydase ROBHD is essential for controlling leaf microbiome homeostasis: a new study by Sebastian Pfeilmeier, the Vorholt group and Microbiome Research Microbiology_ETH rdcu.be/cny1e

Happy to announce #mTAGs, a new tool for taxonomic profiling using degenerate consensus reference sequences of ribosomal RNA genes. The publication 📜: doi.org/10.1093/bioinf… The tool 🛠️: github.com/SushiLab/mTAGs

New NCCR Microbiomes publication! mTAGs: a taxonomic profiling tool that uses degenerate consensus reference sequences of ribosomal RNA genes. Congrats to @GuillemSalazar shinichi kudo Microbiome Research and all co-authors! academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…

Our paper with Yukiko M. Yamashita on satellite DNA divergence, hybrid incompatibility and speciation is now out in Molecular Biology and Evolution 🥳 academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar…

mOTUs enables the profiling of microbial community samples using shotgun sequencing data. Here, Microbiome Research et al describe protocols for main routines of mOTUs, namely metagenomic & metatranscriptomic community profiling and #metagenomic SNV profiling. bit.ly/3kaVXQq

ETH Researchers propose a new framework for how satellite #DNA, sometimes called “genomic junk,” is essential in the organization of #chromosomes in #cells. The DNA could be one reason why different #species are unable to successfully interbreed. ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

Excited to share our study on predicting base editing outcomes with attention-based machine learning published in Nature Communications. Huge thanks to our collaborators Krauthammer Lab and all Gerald Schwank members. Special thanks to Sharan Janjuha and Ahmed Allam nature.com/articles/s4146…

Super excited to finally release this handbook on writing good research code. Based on my experiences going from research to industry and research again. goodresearch.dev
