The Microbe Directory

This work has been possible with the help of over 300 student volunteers who manually curated almost 18,000 microbial species! Check out our website themicrobedirectory.com 3/3

We used the TMD data to analyze microbiome samples from different projects such as @metasub , @TaraOceans_Sci , the Human Microbiome Project, and Sponge Microbiome Project, showcasing the utility of TMD to help interpret microbiome data and uncover biological associations. 2/3

Our latest publication is out! We provide a user-friendly interface to annotate microbial organisms, from large metagenomic studies, to single species curation. doi.org/10.1093/databa… 1/3

I'm elated to release four @metasub papers today, with new species, data interfaces, & online resources. The first is in @CellCellPress, "A global metagenomic map of urban microbiomes and antimicrobial resistance" led by @dcdanko @Daniela_Bezdan cell.com/cell/fulltext/…" a 🧵 /1

Hello, world. My first look at my forever home. #CountdownToMars

I'm looking forward to joining such a great group of speakers and leaders across so many different industries (including @DrAnthonyF @StationCDRKelly @davidasinclair @larrybrilliant @EvolvingJuan @drsanjaygupta @MarcHodosh ) at LIFE ITSELF next year!

@mason_lab @asierra93 @krista_ryon The Microbe Directory has the answer!

A question from lab today: “I have an organism that grew optimally under photoheterotrophic conditions but could grow photolithotrophically on thiolsulfate or chemo-organotrophically under micro-oxic conditions. Is the organism metabolism ... all!?” @asierra93 @krista_ryon :-)

Very honored and happy to have been selected by @psscra for an award to support our work! psscra.org/2020/07/07/pre…

Today more than 200 volunteers joined the project! They will help us to continue expanding The Microbe Directory Database during the summer! #Nonstop #WorkingFromHome #Summer2020
