Did you ever wonder what insights hide in the multiplets that are usually discarded in flow cytometry? 🫧 Find out in the first publication of my PhD, now out in Nature Methods! www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/4)

At #ISMBECCB2025, @agrekova.bsky.social will present her recent work on detecting mobile genetic elements in both reference and metagenome-assembled genomes in the Microbiome track on Thursday at 3 pm. Come for a sneak peek of the content in promge.embl.de version 2 (to be released in ~1 month)!

Arctic Ocean virus communities and their seasonality, bipolarity, and prokaryotic associations - Nature Communications Based on bulk DNA time-series sequencing of the surface Arctic Ocean, Calayag et al. show that planktonic viruses are strongly seasonal in abundance and community composition, and are correlated stron...

🚨Our newest publication on the Fram Strait and #ArcticOcean is out 🚨

We explored the diversity, temporal dynamics and host-associations of Arctic #viruses over a four year time-series using long-read #metagenomics (and their global prevalence and distribution).

Characterizing organisms from three domains of life with universal primers from throughout the global ocean - Scientific Data Scientific Data - Characterizing organisms from three domains of life with universal primers from throughout the global ocean

Please Re-Post. Our global GRUMP microbial ocean database is out in Scientific Data! Unfractionated, single universal PCR, with Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukaryotes all on the same scale with the same denominator. Pole to pole, depths to 6000m. Lots of metadata. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The team's first preprint is out!

Led by ‪
‪@vishnuprasoodanan.bsky.social‬‬ & @omaistrenko.bsky.social , we asked a question (almost) as old as microbiology: how many prokaryotic species exist on Earth? More specifically, how much diversity is "hiding" in existing metagenomic data?

A 🧵.

Schematic overview of NEP analysis steps (Neighborhood definition, Quantification and NEP score) and the systematic method performance comparison using simulated data for cohort distinction.

Ever wondered how to best quantify cell-cell neighbor preferences in tissues?
We compared 9+ neighbor preference (NEP) methods for analysing spatial omics data and propose a novel approach that combines the most relevant analysis features which we call COZI 🔬✨

A global comparison of surface and subsurface microbiomes reveals large-scale biodiversity gradients, and a marine-terrestrial divide The microbiomes of Earth’s surface and subsurface environments are different in composition, but similar in diversity.

Deep life is astonishing and diverse, and we have so much more to learn!

So happy that this study is out. Big thanks to co-first author @bellahda.bsky.social and all the collaborators!
