🥳🥳 Our work exploring the core microbiomes of stable cyanobacterial communities is now out in the @isme-microbes.bsky.social Journal!!! Excellent work by @andrejakust.bsky.social and company!

#microbiology #cyanobacteria #metagenomics
Out now from @diamondlab.bsky.social — stable microbiome communities using tractable cyanobacteria. An important development for folks working on cyanobacteria, microbial community formation and establishment in lab settings, and microbial community ecology! Read here: tinyurl.com/3cs2x6r7

What a missed opportunity... 🤔 We should have declared an official "Archaeal Week" at Nature Communications! 😆

NIH funding supporting the HMMER and Infernal software projects has been terminated. NIH states that our work, as well as all other federally funded research at Harvard, is of no benefit to the US.

I am very happy (and anxious) to share with you our most recent work in which we evaluated four of the most popular long-read assemblers,

and tell you just a little bit about it in the following 🧵
Assemblies of long-read metagenomes suffer from diverse errors
Genomes from metagenomes have revolutionised our understanding of microbial diversity, ecology, and evolution, propelling advances in basic science, biomedicine, and biotechnology. Assembly algorithms...

I’m very excited to finally share the results of a passion project that has been on my mind for nearly a decade. You can find the pre-print below, but what follows is the saga of how this project came to be:
