#microbiome differential abundance tools can result in vastly different conclusions. Check out our new paper rdcu.be/cE8BP and our story about its creation go.nature.com/33rBMJQ @gavin_m_douglas @BetaScience @Dal_micro_immun @NatureComms

Wonderful chat today at lunch with bright bioinformatics minds #luckyme #CSHLmbiome
@JTNearing @jorondo @donmezataberkk & missing @vWachsmann who had already left
Such a privilege to talk about cool projects, visas complications, travels, and statistical consensus 😂

Come join us at the HCMPH symposium on May 13th! The deadline for poster abstracts has been extended to April 22nd!

Elementary methods provide more replicable results in microbial differential abundance analysis - a preprint. Feedback welcome :-) arxiv.org/abs/2404.02691
I will be one of the instructors for this course! Check it out if your interested in brushing up on your metagenomic data prowess
A friendly reminder that applications are open for our annual course on processing and interpreting metagenomic data from microbial communities!

A postdoc with a newborn just told me daycare in Boston is ~$30,000/year 🤯 Despite having dual incomes, the cost is so prohibitive they are considering just going into industry... I wish there was a mechanism similar to the NIH Diversity Supplement to help parents with new borns
Looks like we might have to make a last minute trip to montreal due to the storms in #halifax does anyone have any good recommendations for things to do for a short visit?

Canadian Postdoc median pay in 2020 was $52,500. Of great concern: 25% of postdocs were earning <45k. [Ref @CAPSACPP]
When I started as a Postdoc in 2020, I was paid 45k. After benefits and taxes, I wouldn't have been able to afford to rent a 1BR apt in Toronto.

📣 PhD opportunity 📣
Come discover how longterm antibiotic use shapes the lung microbiome of people with COPD & how it contributes to antimicrobial resistance transmission between microbes!

It’s a great feeling when you sit there stuck on some code and then come back to it an hour later and magically solve it with a few one liners (:
Is RNAmmer still the best tool for pulling 16S sequences from MAGs? anyone have any experience with other tools
for those wondering... I ended using barrnap
github.com/tseemann/barrnap
thanks @torstenseemann !
On my way to @CSM2023_Halifax excited to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones! Let me know if you are there tweeter friends!

Congrats to our colleagues, Dr. Jacob Nearing, Dr. Vanessa DeClercq & Dr. Morgan Langille on their new microbiome publication!!
Using saliva samples from Atlantic PATH and @ATPResearch, this work explores the oral #microbiome in relation to cancer. bit.ly/3LoI5zB
Working with Gina was awesome! Extremely knowledgeable and always ready to solve a problem highly recommend if your looking for someone in the sequencing area
Is your company or lab in the northeast of the USA, looking for a skilled research associate with extensive experience with Nanopore and PacBio microbiome sequencing? I highly recommend Dr. Gina Filloramo who is leaving the IMR to live closer to home! linkedin.com/in/gina-fillora…
