New from our group - SynTracker uses synteny to understand microbial evolution. Unlike other approaches, SynTracker can account for recombination or other structural changes!

🦠🍦Delighted, with @ClaraDelaroque, to share our new preprint on an exciting story reporting the impact of maternal additives intake on offspring’s #microbiota and health, with a crucial role played by #Goblet cells ! A thread 🧶

Gut metagenomes of Asian octogenarians reveal metabolic potential expansion and distinct microbial species associated with aging ... biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_genomic

Shotgun metagenomics data for >200 healthy Asian octogenerians helped us identify key gut microbial hallmarks of healthy aging, including some that are only consistently seen in Asian cohorts! 4 Major results in thread #aging #microbiome biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The Floria paper is now out in Bioinformatics! Fast and accurate strain haplotyping in metagenomes by the amazing Jim Shaw & jsgounot. Check it out: github.com/bluenote-1577/… It was great to collaborate with Yun William Yu academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…

Thank you Tanja Weil and Seah Ling Kuan for inviting me to this very special A*STAR Max-Planck-Institut für Polymerforschung symposium in Mainz! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and it was so lovely to speak to scientists at the MPIP and my fellow singaporean scientists! Here’s to more collaborations between 🇩🇪🇸🇬

Excited to share our work on city-wide metagenomic surveillance of hawker centres in Singapore! w/Macadology Several surprising findings here ... see thread medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
