bioBakery 3 is out in eLife - the journal! It describes our latest versions of MetaPhlAn 3, HUMAnN 3, StrainPhlAn 3, PanPhlAn 3 and more from Segata Lab and hutlab ! Huge thanks to so many but especially to Francesco Beghini Francesco Beghini and Lauren McIver! elifesciences.org/articles/65088

Our multi-lab review on Prevotella is out in Nature Reviews Microbiology! An effort coordinated by Nicola Segata & Danilo Ercolini with Adrian Tett as lead author and analysis contributions by Edoardo Pasolli and Giulia Masetti. Thanks also to the reviewers for their suggestions! nature.com/articles/s4157…

Prevotella diversity, niches and interactions with the human host nature.com/articles/s4157… In this Review, Tett, Edoardo Pasolli, Giulia Masetti, Danilo Ercolini & Nicola Segata discuss Prevotella diversity and the evidence for the involvement of these bacteria in human health and disease.

My #drawing on Cell Host & Microbe for the second time!!! 😀 Very #happy and thanks a lot for the opportunity!!! 🥰 #SciArt Issue ⬇️ cell.com/cell-host-micr… Article ⬇️ cell.com/cell-host-micr… Cover Description ⬇️

Our latest paper by Nicolai Karcher Eleonora Nigro Mireia Valles-Colomer in Genome Biology "Genomic diversity and ecology of human-associated Akkermansia species in the gut microbiome revealed by extensive metagenomic assembly".

...and Kun Kun D. Huang is now a Ph.D.!!! Congratulations Kun! Defence commission by Erik Dassi Maurizio Casiraghi & Till Strowig

In a study of patients with advanced #NSCLC undergoing anti-PD-1 therapy, the relative abundance of intestinal Akkermansia spp associated with changes in the gut #microbiome ecosystem and clinical outcomes Gustave Roussy #immunotherapy #lungcancer #LCSM nature.com/articles/s4159…

Excited and proud of this paper funded by the #SeeraveFoundation and co-lead by us on the link between the gut microbiome and clinical response to melanoma immunotherapy. Today in Nature Medicine nature.com/articles/s4159…

Nicolai Karcher Nicolai Karcher defending his thesis now! Co-advisors Nicola Segata and Zeller Group , co-tutor Mireia Valles-Colomer . Erik Dassi Ami Bhatt and @donati_claudio in the committee. Fantastic work Nic!

MetaPhlAn version 4 is out! Big improvements with the possibility to profile uSGBs (i.e. MAG-defined species), better markers, ~27k tot SGBs (species), estimation of the unknowns, and more. DB based on >1M genomes+MAGs! Preprint, code, tutorials available! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Can we assess engraftment of donor's strains in FMT? What drives it? In our latest study Nature Medicine we examine the extent and determinants of strain engraftment upon FMT, and build ML models to predict the resulting microbiome composition (thread). nature.com/articles/s4159…

2 postdoc & 2 pre-doc positions available in the lab! Pre-doc can be the bridge toward Ph.D. fellowship by Nov. 2023. All at the intersection of metagenomics, nutrition, human health. Strong computational background required, open to pure computer scientists. Links to apply below

"The person-to-person transmission landscape of the gut and oral microbiomes". Our work on microbiome stransmission published today open-access in nature! Fantastic work Mireia Valles-Colomer, the whole Segata Lab group CIBIO - UniTrento and all the collaborators! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Very excited to announce our paper on person-to-person transmission of the gut and oral microbiomes has just been published in nature!

MetaPhlAn 4 is published today OA in Nature Biotechnology Nature Biotechnology nature.com/articles/s4158… We added GTDB output, improved performance and comparative analyses w.r.t. the preprint version. Huge thanks to Aitor Blanco Miguez for the eroic effort and to all Nicola Segata and hutlab

And we also announce a new database release for MetaPhlAn 4 extending the just published database version with 3,500 additional SGBs, >100,000 additional reference MAGs, improved marker precision and more. Details here github.com/biobakery/Meta…
