🎉🍼 Exciting delivery news! Trishla Sinha and I proudly announce our "newborn" paper on maternal-to-infant gut #virus and bacterial host transmission, freshly published in Nature Communications! nature.com/articles/s4146… Like proud parents, we invite you to check out the 🧵below (1/10):

I sincerely believe this is a very important study. It focuses on virome composition in negative controls - something we can’t avoid but need to deal with. Proud of my PhD students Nataliia Kuzub and Sana Garmaeva for leading this work. groningen_microbiome, UMCG Genetica, Alex Kurilshikov
