📢 New preprint is out on bioRxiv 📢:

How much does virome prep influence our view of the human gut virome?

Short answer: a lot.

Long answer:
doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Different methods lead to distinct community structures, richness, and major virus-host abundance patterns.

Great to have you here. We all enjoyed your presentation very much!

Really enjoyed today's seminar and visit to @quadraminstitute.bsky.social

Thanks Rosie Young for the invitation and many (@alisonmather.bsky.social @evelienadri.bsky.social @bioinf.bsky.social @drrobkingsley.bsky.social, Naiara Beraza, Mark Webber, Simon Carding, Natalie Juge) for catching up!

🚨New preprint out!
We present a foundational genomic resource of human gut microbiome viruses. It delivers high-quality, deeply curated data spanning taxonomy, predicted hosts, structures, and functions, providing a reference for gut virome research. (1/8)

Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp....

genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.

I'd be interested!!!

I would check the publisher's editorial policies and flag this with the handling editor and editor in chief. Often academic editors' involvement with a paper stops at the acceptance stage, and they don't see the paper again until it's published.

Inspiring the next generation: exploring the invisible microbial world with students in Koothanoor, India - Quadram Institute Research Scientist Dr Revathy Krishnamurthy reflects on her visit to the village where she grew up in India and inspiring the next generation to discover the world of science.

Incredibly proud of Dr Revathy who is inspiring the next generation of scientists around the world. And even though we can't see them through a foldscope, bacteriophages are still our favourite microbes 🤩

Chimeric infective particles expand species boundaries in phage-inducible chromosomal island mobilization Capsid-forming PICIs (cf-PICIs) produce their own capsids and exploit phage tails from unrelated species to transfer their DNA across bacterial hosts. This tail piracy enables broad dissemination and ...

Thrilled to share our two latest papers with the @tcostalab.bsky.social
lab! In the first, we uncover a new mechanism of satellite transfer: cf-PICIs hijack tails from diverse phages to spread across species.

ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Duplodnaviria 2025 The realm Duplodnaviria includes viruses of archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes, with linear dsDNA genomes. Duplodnavirians share a distinct morphogenetic module of four hallmark genes encoding the HK97-...

Today, I'm excited to announce the publication of the Duplodnaviria realm Profile and Chapter.
The realm includes viruses of archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes and is best known for its inclusion of herpesviruses and tailed phages.

The ICTV Report chapters, which are linked to the profiles and get updated when the taxonomy changes, can be found on the ICTV website:
ictv.global/report

We have expanded our ICTV Virus Taxonomy profiles and chapters to include higher ranks, which have been recently introduced and may not be familiar to all virologists.

You can find our 2-page Profiles (citable record) in JGV @microbiologysociety.org

AI Is a Mass-Delusion Event Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

“Twitter sucks now and all the cool kids are moving to Bluesky:” Our new survey shows that scientists no longer find Twitter professionally useful or pleasant My colleague Dr. Julia Wester and I have a new paper out in the journal Integrative and Comparative Biology reporting on the results of a survey distributed to over 800 scientists, science educator…

Here is a press release/ summary blog post about our new paper.

Key conclusion: For every single professional use that scientists used to use Twitter for, Twitter is much worse now than it used to be, and Bluesky is better that Twitter currently is.
