We want to explore the metabolic interactions among gut bacteria, when the human host eats different foods - maybe this explain partly the Enterosignature structure?
Please do apply for our bioinformatic post to explore this question in metagenomes: jobs.quadram.ac.uk/Details.asp?...

How do you long-read sequence metagenomes? I would argue it starts with the right sample storage & DNA extraction, to enable efficient @nanoporetech.com /@pacbio.bsky.social sequencing, which we investigated in our new paper: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Massive thanks to Klara for driving this

Happy to announce that we have a new 2.5 year post on food-associated changes in gut microbiomes. We are looking for a strong bioinformatician with experience in metagenomics, metabolic modelling, functional genomics, system biology. (application deadline 20.7.25)

After much work, we have finally published our KSGP 16S reference database paper: academic.oup.com/ismecommun/a...
KSGP is GTDB taxonomy compliant, has >= 4x more Archaea/Bacteria assignments than SILVA or Greengenes2, and allows better filtering of mitochondrial mis-amplicons.

Fully support this commentary, even though I would think of myself as computational scientist, higher % of microbiologists(-minded) people would do the microbiome field good

Pretty short message if you close your twitter account, like it
.. Especially like to finally leave this platform, just too much negativity from the new boss there
