A single amplified genome catalog reveals the dynamics of mobilome and resistome in the human microbiome - Microbiome

Background The increase in metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) has advanced our understanding of the functional characterization and taxonomic assignment within the human microbiome. However, MAGs, as...

Globally distributed marine Gemmatimonadota have unique genomic potentials - Microbiome

Background Gemmatimonadota bacteria are widely distributed in nature, but their metabolic potential and ecological roles in marine environments are poorly understood. Results Here, we obtained 495 met...

Wow! openalex.org looks like an amazing open alternative to Google Scholar. Citation counts etc. look very similar to GScholar on a quick vanity search. Check it out. Opens up a lot of possibilities for metascience.

ISME attendees! As a late add to the #isme19 Protists session, i'll be talking about our work sequencing microbes from the Great Barrier Reef. Using Nanopore sequencing, we can consistently recover circular MAGs from prokaryotes (e.g. Pelagibacter), HQ viruses, & complete T2T euk genomes.

Eight years later, I revisit the tree of life. “Future trees may need to distinguish not only between cultured and uncultured lineages, but between extant and extinct” rdcu.be/dPNpB

The ever-changing tree of life

Nature Microbiology - The tree of life is a galvanizing image, anchoring biological diversity within a common framework. From a new view in 2016, the tree has continued to grow, and with it, our...

The so-called "VGIX01" bacterial phylum from GTDB now has a name :-) First paper from my collaboration with Lei Su, Jiangtao Li, Andreas Teske, and others. Lei spent a year in Aarhus getting started on this work as part of her PhD - more papers to come! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
