Happy to share my latest work - insights into how soil nutrient conditions alter viral lifestyles and their ecological functions. A short but interesting story. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Last night's send-off dinner, marked the end of my 5-year journey in Karthik's lab Karthik Anantharaman. Truly grateful for the guidance, support, and friendship of my incredible labmates and mentors. Thank you for the memories and lessons that I'll carry forward. 🌟

Interested in working in the field of viromics? Interested in doing something cool and fancy? Here are some positions for postdocs shorturl.at/ayzJQ

Interested in using metagenomics to study viruses? We are still open for postdocs and assist. scientist positions shorturl.at/ayzJQ #postdoc #environmentalMicrobiology #viromics #microbialEcology

Been getting queries about annotation of viral genomes, so thought of posting this for folks who may be interested. We have annoVIBRANT on github, an annotation only wrapper based on VIBRANT for annotating viral genomes. github.com/AnantharamanLa…

This is bittersweet 🥲 Funding and continuous maintenance is a looming issue for most bioinformatics software. It's sad to see that even one of the most influential tools in the area suffers from it...

Check out the preprint of my first PhD chapter! 🤗 Thank you to my other coauthors Cody Martin Faith Koester and Chao (Zhichao) Zhou. Feedback welcome!!
