🧪🦠🖥️🧬🧫🔬 The Roadmap for equitable use of public microbiome data -including the Data Reuse Information Tag (DRI)- by the #DataReuseConsortium.
Must read if you use or produce microbiome data!

Kudos to the Data Reuse Core Team for their hard work!

The #EESMicrobiome in Heildeberg has been a blast! Inspiring talks and top discussions with peers 🤩 and I got to present some of our latest research at the Disease Systems Immunology group regarding 🌱fiber and 🦠 gut microbes!

🦠🌍 Welcome to Day 2 of #EESMicrobiome
We’re kicking things off with Session 2: Functional insights into microbial communities 🧬

🔹 First talk:
“Small proteins of the human microbiome and beyond”
by Luis Pedro Coelho – Queensland University of Technology

Stay tuned for more exciting science!

Thank you very much! Highly appreciate the positive comments from someone with your knowledge in the specific field 😁

Nice paper on the temporal dynamics of early infancy. Once again, it was shown that Escherichia & Klebsiella correlate with higher ARG load, and their abundance is in turn negatively associated with Bifidos. Kudos to the authors for the excellent paper!

🍼 Antibiotic resistance starts early

A study of infant gut bacteria found antibiotic resistance genes appear within the first week of life, peaking at 6 months.

However, E. coli and other ARG-rich species can be controlled through 🧪 aromatic lactic acids = metabolites produced by early life associated bifidobacteria! The same bifidobacteria species that have been previously linked to health and are boosted by breastfeeding 🤱

We followed infants from birth till 5 years of life, and found that 🧬 antimicrobial resistance genes are most abundant at 6 months. The early life resistome was linked to the deliver mode and was largely driven by E. coli 🦠

Thrilled to share our #Comment in @natmicrobiol.nature.com
A collaborative effort by a fantastic group of researchers across disciplines!

💬We explored how interdisciplinary microbiology can thrive when early-career researchers are included and supported.

Unveiling soil microbial diversity through ultra‐deep short‐read metagenomic sequencing and co‐assembly By combining ultra-deep short-read shotgun metagenomic sequencing with 5-sample co-assembly across 600 agricultural soil samples, we significantly enhanced the representation and recovery of microbia....

Soil is the most diverse microbial ecosystem, which makes microbiome studies with shotgun sequencing extremely tricky!
In our last paper @imetascience.bsky.social, we show that co-assembly increases gene and genome recovery

@theipcinfo.bsky.social warns: the worst-case scenario of #famine is unfolding in #Gaza.

Mass starvation, malnutrition, and disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths.

@who.int calls for urgent access for food and medical aid into Gaza at scale.

Ceasefire.
