Nice work from @sharonhuws @CreeveyLab Phylogenetic systematics of Butyrivibrio & Pseudobutyrivibrio genomes illustrate vast taxonomic diversity,open genomes and an abundance of carbohydrate-active enzyme family isoforms microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa… #MGen #PublishingForTheCommunity

Late breaking PhD opportunity in @CreeveyLab on metagenomic analysis of microbial ecology and evolution in early life of ruminants. w. @sharonhuws @kattheodoridou Please share! Sept 18 deadline! @QUBIGFS @QUBbioscience @RMG_network findaphd.com/phds/project/i…

Suddenly interested in viruses? Well how about rumen viruses? Just out, a really nice review paper I had the privilege to be involved in, with @LifeIsDifficile @tcahitch @ThePopeLab and others on this topic frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… @QUBIGFS @QUBbioscience @QUBelfast @RMG_network

Seeing as how viruses are all the rage right now, how about reading about the different ways to study these tiny yet significant things in cows and sheep? #virus #notatweetaboutcovid frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Calling Bioinformaticians/Computational Biologists! We will host the annual VIBE meeting here @QUBelfast April 3rd with a mix of PI, postdoc & PhD student talks & posters. A great way to meet your community. Free reg. here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/vibe2020-tic… Abstract deadline Mar 16th.

amply.systems are working to reduce #antibioticresistance by finding novel #antibiotics in ANY biological data. They want to speak to contacts in #animalhealth as part of their customer discovery @flwrs4algrnon @Hairy_Llama @CreeveyLab #leanlaunch #icurenxnw #startups

Two #microbiome #PhD positions open in my group, one guaranteed funded (findaphd.com/phds/project/w…) and one competitively funded (findaphd.com/phds/project/f…) Please share with any students who might be interested in this area! @CreeveyLab #jobfairy

Very pleased that amply.systems has been chosen to be part of this programme led by @flwrs4algrnon . Watch this space!

On the ferry on our way to #SMBE2019 Manchester! Thanks to @OfficialSMBE for supporting me to come to this meeting with my little one! I’ll be showing my work on poison frog gut microbiome, look me up! See you soon! #WomenInSTEM

Plants have been elements in games throughout history. How are they represented in modern #boardgames? #PlantBlindness Find out with @flwrs4algrnon, @LifeIsDifficile, @Hairy_Llama et al.: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pp… @ibers_aber @QUBIGFS @CreeveyLab

Great talk by @LifeIsDifficile today about her work on Hyper ammonia producers (HAPs) from the rumen. She even got an appreciative groan from the audience for her “HAPpy” puns! :) @CreeveyLab @ibers_aber @QUBIGFS

@CreeveyLab is well represented at #Microbio19 in Belfast. @nickdimonaco and @telmatobita with posters (A043 & A176 respectively in tomorrows poster session) & @LifeIsDifficile & @flwrs4algrnon with talks (Tuesday and Thursday). Come along and say Hi! 👋 @MicrobioSoc

Latest paper from the group.

Funded PhD project available in my group @QUBIGFS @QUBelfast on the microbial ecology of vertebrate gut microbiomes. Open to students with biology/computer/bioinformatic backgrounds. Deadline Nov 5th for January Start. Please share! findaphd.com/search/Project… @creeveylab #PhDfunding

Wonderful paper by Wang et al. (biorxiv.org/content/early/…) showing how divergence of anaerobic gut fungi coincided with radiation of grasses and evolution of mammalian herbivory. Some intriguing horizontal gene transfer events also identified @AnaerobicFungi

This VERY well funded scheme is near closing and if you want to apply, you will need to have been in contact with the school long before the deadline. Please RT.

Congratulations to @ibers_aber and @CreeveyLab PhD student @flwrs4algrnon on winning first prize for his Presentation on his project on novel Antimicrobial peptide discovery @LSRNW NRN conference!

Roasting marshmallows on the beach, a nice way to spend the summer solstice with @CreeveyLab members and friends. #LoveAber
