Our @narjournal.bsky.social manuscript is out! It explores the growth of the GTDB (gtdb.ecogenomic.org) since its inception, as well as updates to the website, methodology, policies, and major taxonomic and nomenclatural changes over the past three years.

Por qué creo que es tan grave lo de los historiales de Andalucía? Porque atenta contra la confianza básica en las instituciones, poniendo en duda sus cimientos. Mañana alguien puede borrar mi enfermedad por lo que sea. O inventarse una nueva y "filtrarla" para perjudicarme. O cambiar datos

Do we see the same respiratory microbiome with #Illumina and #Nanopore? Macip et al. (2025, Sci Rep) show we don’t — Illumina captures higher richness, Nanopore better species resolution. Perhaps the future is an hybrid approach?

🧬 What if #plasmids weren’t competitors, but cooperators?
A new study in npj Antimicrobials & Resistance shows that many plasmids coexist within the same bacterium — and that non-resistant ones survive thanks to those carrying #AMR genes.

I have an MRC-funded PhD project available (www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin...) on how warming will change the problem of AMR. Join a small and friendly group (padpadpadpad.netlify.app/about) in (sometimes) sunny Cornwall. 🧪🦠 #microsky

Please share the ad below with anyone who may be interested.
A teal flyer for a PhD opportunity to investigate how warming may change antimicrobial resistance. The project will use experiments on Klebsiella bacteria to answer questions about how temperature affects their response to antibiotics, plasmid transfer, and fitness costs. The research involves microbiology lab work, bioinformatics, and mathematical modeling. The flyer includes contact details for Dr. Daniel Padfield and the logos of the sponsoring institutions.

Lo único que necesitáis saber de este estudio es que la muestra es de tres (3) cerebros de fetos donados en 2020, que el trabajo se publicó en 2023, y que hasta ahora ha sido citado cuatro (4) veces.

Ni siquiera cuando se publicó en 2023 tuvo cobertura mediática.
