New Glassman lab paper led by my former PhD student Fabi! Some of you may remember the Stirling Ultracold freezer saga of 2020. Well, we made lemonade out of lemons! If this happens to you don’t rush to throw everything away. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Not all is lost: resilience of microbiome samples to freezer failures and long-term storage | mSphere

Microbiome studies heavily rely on ultracold freezers for sample storage. Unfortunately, these freezers are prone to frequent malfunctions, resulting in the loss of invaluable samples at laboratories worldwide. Such losses can halt research progress due ...

Feels like a good time to re-share my paper comparing teaching #rstats formula and #tidyverse syntaxes. (Not quite a base/tidyverse comparison, I couldn't bring myself to do that. But if YOU feel passionately about it, why don't you run that experiment?) Again, PDF format is the one to look at.

How do we interpret longitudinal variation in human stool metagenomes?

Joe Lim tackles this tricky question in our latest pub, out today in Nature Communications.

Basically, stool sequencing measures of the endpoint of more rapid internal dynamics.

Here, the authors present a novel approach for inferring in vivo growth phases of human gut bacteria from metagenomic time series data. These inferences can be used to better-constrain community scale...
