A great way to get more MAGs out of your metagenomes without further sequencing cost. MAGs from coassemblies appear *better* quality, not more chimeric. Excellent work from @aroney_samuel here.
Excited to share “Bin Chicken”, substantially improving genome recovery through rational metagenomic assembly. Applied to public 🌍 metagenomes, it recovered 24,000 novel species 🦠, including 6 novel phyla. doi.org/10.1101/2024.11.24.6… @wwood @rhysnewell @CMR_QUT 🧵1/6

If you work with metagenomes (or metatranscriptomes), would like to explore what viruses/phages are in your datasets, but don't know where to start, we have (an) MVP for you now \o/ Really happy to see this one published, and also welcoming feedback/suggestion of improvement!
🎉 Exciting news! We've just published MVP: a Modular Viromics Pipeline 🦠✨ journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10…

Excited about this collaboration and looking for a soil viromics postdoc (available immediately, hoping for someone who can start by January-ish). DM or email me if interested!
Excited to start on this multistate @USDA_NIFA project to investigate the impact of organic matter amendments on micro-predators & soil/plant health in collaboration w/ @triplettlr @jemersonmicro @BrahStevovo @Buckhout_Bull @kovac_lab @dr_biogeek @whereswaldoben, Gorgo-Gourovitch

Celebrating #ResearchMonday for #BlackMammalogists Week by sharing some of my recent favorite camera trap photos. Camera traps are an excellent way to understand how animal behavior and habitat preferences may change following fire📸 @HastingsReserve @UCBORR @ Quail Rdige Reserve

Are you interested in soil viruses? Do you want to know how viral communities are structured in natural, damaged, and restored peatlands? Or do you just want to chat about viromics and soil viral ecology? If you’re at #ISME19, stop by my poster on Thursday morning! (PS3.16.029)
