"You want me to apply for a fellowship? After what happened to Boromir?"
If anyone waiting for NHMRC to announce investigator grants can tolerate a LOTR joke

Since last year, I've been teaching ~400 undergrads how to code (functions, lists, dictionaries, loops) over (one hour intro lecture +) two 2-hour practicals. 1/n

New paper out. Great collab with Hannah, Courtney & team bringing multi-omics into supportive care. Faecal and saliva samples show promise for predicting chemo-brain, a common side effect that deserves way more attention.

That’s a wrap! Huge thank you to everyone who joined us for #ABACBS2025 & a big shout-out to the Adelaide bioinfo community who worked their butts off. Couldn’t have asked for a better crew or a better venue than Adelaide Oval. @wessidepraxis.bsky.social @linsalrob.bsky.social

Heading to Radelaide for #ABACBS2025 . Looking forward to catch up with old friends and nerd out on bioinformatics!

A newpaper clipping from the Adelaide Advertiser showing high school students discovering new phages.
I worked with the Australian Science & Maths School to design new Year 10–12 curricula: phage hunting, of course! The students discovered & sequenced a new jumbo phage, and will present their work at @abacbs.bsky.social in Adelaide next week. Proud of these young scientists!

Walkthrough of the conference centre ahead of #ABACBS2025 later this month. Bit overcast in Adelaide today but hoping for clear skies at the conference ☀️🕶️

Only 13 days, 12 hours, 45 minutes, and 5 seconds until #ABACBS2025!
Check out the full program and you can still register (dinner & workshops are almost sold out though!) www.abacbs.org/abacbs2025
What’s next? Happy to take requests for new databases or features. Let me know what would make TaxSEA more useful for your work. I’m also putting together workshop materials & tutorials, so stay tuned if you’d like to learn how to use TaxSEA in your own microbiome analyses.

New curated signature collections from the literature added:
• Urbanisation-associated microbiomes
• Mucin utilisation
• Gut–brain axis relevant taxa
All available as built-in gene sets for enrichment testing.
TaxSEA now integrates data from BacDive, the Bacterial Diversity Metadatabase, which contains curated phenotypic + metabolic traits for thousands of bacteria. You can test whether your metagenome is enriched for taxa with traits like nitrate reduction, enzyme production etc.

🚀 TaxSEA v1.2 is now live in #Bioconductor release 3.22!
TaxSEA brings enrichment testing to #metagenomics data. Just like GSEA does for transcriptomics making #microbiome & #microbiota results biologically interpretable, fast, and reproducible. We've added new DBs & features in 1.2 👇 🧵
