Microbial Genomics Lab 🇺🇾

See our current work explained by @goyoiraola during an interview for the @sangerinstitute blog! "...whatever environment we study, we are well aware that what we know about already is just a small percentage of the diversity that actually exists..." sangerinstitute.blog/2021/06/28/bac…

Our last paper about the development of a fast and cost-effective method to identify #SARSCoV2 lineages using @nanopore sequencing of the #spike gene is just out in #MGen @MicrobioSoc! Congrats @csalazar_007 et al.! microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

Folks, we are looking for a post doctoral fellow with a strong microbiology background to join the Host Microbiota Interactions Lab at the Sanger Institute. Advert below. Please retweet. thank you. nature.com/naturecareers/…

Finally, the deployment of longer term sewage DNA surveillance represents a promising tool to improve our understanding of pathogen dynamics and other microbiome-related diseases, providing useful information for infection control, public health policies, and urban design💪

Our results evidence the need of urgent global actions to tackle the problem of #AMR dissemination from a #OneHealth perspective. Emphasis should be put on the role of urban human populations as a reservoir and vehicle for #AMR emergence and spread through wastewater systems!

Our last paper is just out in @MicrobiomeJ! We used @nanopore WGS and #metagenomics to uncover #AMR in the sewage! Congrats @csalazar_007 & lab mates, collaborators & thanks founders @HospitalMaciel @montevideoIM @metasub @pfizer @ISID_org @ANIIuy 🧵 microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Have a look at @Animals_MDPI special issue "Microbial Genomics in Animal Sciences" to which @goyoiraola is serving as Guest Editor! Main topics: #AMR; #microbiome; #zoonotic bacteria and viruses, etc. mdpi.com/journal/animal…

@sheppard_lab @MicrobioSoc ❤️

Launching a new @MicrobioSoc Microbial Genomics collection! Please submit Campylobacter and Helicobacter genomics papers - open to all: microbiologysociety.org/news/society-n…

Happy to share this great review just published in @TrendsMicrobiol about the spirochetal endoflagellum with colleagues from @IPMontevideo and @institutpasteur! We performed a comprehensive evaluation of flagellar genes across the spirochetal phylogeny! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

𝑼𝒏𝒂 𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊́𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒂 𝒅𝒆 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆👩‍🔬🥉 Florencia Peñalba, investigadora de @IraolaLab del @IPMontevideo, integra las Cimarronas🏑🇺🇾 y obtuvo el 3º puesto en @asu2022oficial. 🔎En el instituto, trabaja para su tesis de Ingeniería en Biotecnología de @UniversidadORT.

Hello Twitter friends, we are recruiting a post doc to the Lawley Lab (lawleylab.com) work on gut microbiome metabolism of early life bacteria and want to spread the word....link below...please retweet... nature.com/naturecareers/…

Bakta is a worthy successor to Prokka, which has been neglected in recent years. Bakta is being actively developed with new features that Prokka never had, so I encourage Prokka users to try it out!

New paper out from the lab! In collaboration with @HospitalMaciel, we characterized the first case in #SouthAmerica of the epidemic K. pneumoniae ST15 epidemic clone carrying the carbapenemase OXA-48, which had been previously circulating in Spain. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The Fifth edition of the book "Pathogenesis of Bacterial Infections in Animals" 🐄🐏🦠 is out with a new chapter written by @goyoiraola and John Boyce (@MonashUni): "Understanding Pathogenesis Through Pathogenomics and Bioinformatics" (shorturl.at/agxEW)

plaSquid, our new software to detect and classify plasmids from fragmented and closed genomic and metagenomic assemblies is out in @biorxivpreprint! Great work from @MGimenez720 and @iferres91! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
