Another very successful microbiome bioinformatics workshop! An absolutely terrific group of trainees. Thanks to IMPACTT Microbiome for sponsoring again this year.

Last week's CBW-IMPACTT Microbiome Analysis Workshop with Bioinformatics.ca U Calgary was such a great experience. Thank you to the instructors Morgan Langille @ParkyLab Laura Sycuro henaramay Robyn Wright Anita Kozyrskyj + Ryan Chieu & Kevin Muirhead for making the workshop a success!

We're excited to be recruiting a new faculty member in bacterial-host interactions and to hear from YOU! dal.peopleadmin.ca/postings/13946

Working on the human microbiome? Alan Walker and bugsinyourguts highlight human microbiome myths and misconceptions in a new Perspective nature.com/articles/s4156…

Discussing the new Greengenes2 manuscript in journal club which is OA in Nat Biotech, which depends heavily on on new phylogenetic method uDance in same issue. uDance is not OA and my institution doesn't have access! Frustrating that this is still an issue in today's science.

This a honest and accurate description of maintaining a bioinformatic tool. The # of hours maintaining, documenting, and supporting a tool greatly outnumber the hours to build and publish it. Kudos to those that strive to make *usable* bioinformatic tools.

New lab photo! :)

My MSc student Ben Fisher decided to dress up as me today for Halloween! I wasn't in the office today, so he took the opportunity to take over my office and have a photo shoot, lol

The Langille Lab (Morgan Langille) & PAC Lab (Melanie Keats Scott Grandy) will be well represented at the #CCRC2023 hosted by the CCRAlliance. #Microbiome #PhysicalActivity #CancerResearch Additional details: bit.ly/40sPeGq

Thank you for trusting your samples with the IMR (imr.bio)

Join Morgan Langille and me in St John’s in May for beginner and/or advanced Microbiome analysis!

The Integrated Microbiome Resource (IMR) is proud to be a Gold Sponsor of #HavingIMPACTT2024. Learn more about the various sequencing and bioinformatic services offered at IMR.bio

Advanced #Microbiome Analysis, class of 2024! We had participants from across Canada and as far as Mexico and Kazakhstan. As always, our materials are open-access... 🧵

Thanks to Dr.Morgan Langille for sharing how his team uses advanced computational tools (e.g. AI) to understand the different bacteria that make up human microbiome! It's a growing field and lots to uncover! 🔬👩🏾‍💻

Christmas came early for the IMR.bio! This should replace our two old MiSeqs and provide higher quality reads (for the full 2x300bp) and double our average number of reads per sample for the same price. Thanks to Andre Comeau, IMR Manager, for the photo op.

I’m not sure how many people still use this app, but I’m pleased to share our new preprint! Morgan Langille biorxiv.org/content/10.110… I started thinking about how we could make the PICRUSt2 database easy to update and add new functions to about five years ago now…
