Last Sept, @wellcometrust.bsky.social hosted #microbiome experts, exploring the field's vast landscape—from diversity & ethics to disease, immunology & mental health.
We've distilled these rich discussions into a report.
Excited to share our insights! 📄👉 wellcomeopenresearch.org/documents/10...

Sequencing databases are vital to interpreting genomes, but come at a cost and requires community support. Recently, FungalDB and VeuPathDB have moved to subscription services. If you use these resources, please explore the changes and consider joining the community effort to sustain them.

Historically, genetic research has focused on specific populations, but by addressing these gaps, we can create benefits for everyone. By embracing our differences, we can turn them into strengths.

Fungi play a crucial role in ecosystems with extraordinary adaptability. Their benefits are immense, but also includes risk. @wellcometrust.bsky.social, we're concerned about the implications for human health in the face of climate change and emerging pathogens

Antifungal resistance is an important part of antimicrobial resistance.

But there are many fungal pathogens we don’t know anything about. Could bioimaging be part of the solution?

Can bioimaging build capacity in fungi research?
This month's guest expert is Dr Elizabeth Ballou, Sir Henry Dale Fellow at the University of Exeter. Fungi are beautiful and very charismatic.
