Bifidobacteria are the primary consumers of breast milk and very important in the infant gut. However, current methods for profiling them require custom implementation. @ben-braun.bsky.social tackled this during his rotation in my lab by creating a fast, robust, and user-friendly tool. Check it out!
Excited to share Bifidotyper, a tool that quickly takes you from stool sequencing to quantifications of Bifidobacterial species and HMO metabolism genes! It emphasizes speed and ease of use. Just throw in your FastQ files and get results in minutes!

Friday funny for all us 'desk jockeys':

Pro tip: Always fill out anonymous work surveys with brutal honesty. There is absolutely no way for HR to find out who submitted it. Follow for more tips.
