Scientists at Adam Mickiewicz University turned to poop to learn about how bacteria-killing viruses found in the human gut have changed over time, including 1 from 5,300 yr old Ötzi the Iceman! Learn more in our new adapted article: www.sciencejournalforkids.org/articles/how...@bedutilh.bsky.social
Is there a link between the microbes in your food and your gut microbiome? and how about the soil that your food grew on? join us for a postdoc to find out: vacatures.uva.nl/UvA/job/Post...

Tunturi virus isolates and metagenome-assembled viral genomes provide insights into the virome of Acidobacteriota in Arctic tundra soils www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.08.08.607240v1
Acidobacteriota are phylogenetically and physiologically diverse soil bacteria that play important r

The RAT is out! 🐀 Our new Read Annotation Tool integrates taxonomic signals from MAGs, contigs, and reads from #metagenomicswww.nature.com/articles/s41.... 🧵 (1/5)
Metagenomic taxonomic profiling usually relies either on reads or assembled contigs/MAGs. Here, authors present RAT, a tool that integrates taxonomic signals from reads, contigs, and MAGs into one pro...
We finally put it together! The first ICTV #Virus#Taxonomyictv-vbeg.github.io/ICTV-Taxonom... - tell your bioinformaticians and colleagues!
If you want more reliable annotation of your reads, try RAT. I have very good experiences with RAT, and it performs very well in the benchmarks! Also, can we all just appreciate that @bedutilh.bsky.social now published a bin-, contig-, and a read annotation tool. Bat. 🦇 Cat. 🐈⬛ Rat. 🐀
I've got a fully funded, 4-year PhD position available to work on virus-bacteria interactions in soils. Part of the GenerationResearch scheme at York aimed at widening access to postgrad research. Please share! generationresearch.ac.uk/phd_proposal...
Do you want to know which virus discovery tool to use? Check out @lingyi.bsky.social 's new paper:
#Viromics #VirusDiscovery 🦠 by #Metagenomics 🧬! We used real metagenomic data from diverse biomes to #benchmark state-of-the-art #bioinformatics virus identification tools: genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... @goncalopiedade.bsky.social @bedutilh.bsky.social 🧵 (1/4)
Background As most viruses remain uncultivated, metagenomics is currently the main method for virus discovery. Detecting viruses in metagenomic data is not trivial. In the past few years, many bioinfo...
