My first PhD chapter is out on @GigaScience! We introduce Metaphor, a Snakemake workflow for annotation, assembly and binning of metagenomes. Do you wonder about what's the best way to analyse your metagenomic data?? Follow along for some pointers 🧵doi.org/10.1093/gigasc…

Here is the last from the lab of Comparative Genomics with @JordiPaps @meleonorarossi @_AlexBowles. A nice review of trees, genomes, and cells. @BristolPalaeo frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

I am struggling with writing, and I just posted this to our lab channel to vent. I thought I'd also send it here for the PhD students I do not advise. Just in case realizing that you're not alone in that struggle was the only thing you needed to start writing that paper :)

You have a degree in #Biology, #Biochemistry, Applied Computer Science (or related) & want to delve into Computational Biology & #Bioinformatics for your Master's? Apply for our program @uniGoettingen covering a broad range of topics uni-goettingen.de/de/657628.html

Second paper from my PhD is now published! We provide a comprehensive study of the bacterial microbiome of the coral skeleton algal symbiont Ostreobium and shed light on signatures of phylosymbiosis. @heroenv @Filledesalgues @kt_microbes Read here: rdcu.be/c8TGk

Beautiful review exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying coral-microbiome interactions at @FEMSmicro by @AMohamed85 @DiatomsBacteria et al. academic.oup.com/femsre/advance…

🚨 New Lab Pub 🚨 "Beyond the Symbiodiniaceae: diversity and role of microeukaryotic coral symbionts" (link.springer.com/article/10.100…). Here we describe the numerous protist symbionts of corals and their suspected roles in the holobiont! 🪸🦠

Reviewing for @MDPIOpenAccess is a waste of time and a corruption of the scientific peer review process. Yesterday I sent back a second major revision, frustrated that the authors had ignored many of my comments. Today, paper is accepted. What a farce.

First paper from my PhD is now published online🥳 We show the promise of 16S rRNA gene-based co-occurrence networks as a hypothesis-generating framework to study microalgal-bacterial interactions. Have a read here: nature.com/articles/s4159… @heroenv @kt_microbes @Filledesalgues

Do you want to recover MAGs from your metagenomic data? Check out our new pipeline, Metaphor! 🚀 Featuring multiple binning algorithms to optimise MAG recovery + flexible options for pooled assembly & binning: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Amazing group effort w/ @MDAP_Unimelb!

Tree plots summarizing GO term enrichment in #microalgae #omics analysis are now implemented in our web tool AlgaeFUN with MARACAS greennetwork.us.es/AlgaeFUN/ bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… @AnaBelenStyles @christina_arvan @PedrodelosReyes @ramosgonzmarc

More on #coralskeleton We provide a compendium of coral associated microbial MAGs, explore their functional and symbiosis forming capabilities. Great Collab with @MicroSensing @heroenv @momedinamunoz @Fra_Ricci_ Linda Blackall Joana Costa academic.oup.com/gigascience/ar…

Detecting contamination in eukaryotic genomes, a new tool from the lab. Stunned by the extent of bacterial and fungal contamination of genomes. We show that contamination strongly impacts ancestral genome content analysis in the eukaryotes. Thread 1/6 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our preprint is out! We provide a comprehensive study on the microbiome of the major coral skeleton algal symbiont Ostreobium and shed light on phylosymbiotic signatures. Have a read here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
