Genome Sequence of the Commercially Relevant Mushroom Agaricus bisporus var. bisporus ARP23 is out. Starting point for other exciting work from Eoin O'Connor that we hope to publish soon. With our collaborators Sylvan-Somycel & Teagasc .MU Research g3journal.org/content/9/10/3…

The New Tree of Eukaryotes, or what has changed in the last 15 years on the broad phylogeny of #protists and how we understand the tree now. I enjoyed a lot working with Alastair Simpson, Andrew J. Roger (@andrewjroger.bsky.social) and Matt Brown on this review

Society Champion Gerard Sheehan wrote a blog on this August’s Biology Summer School which took place at the University of Maynooth MU Biology Summer School. microb.io/2p4kX3A

PPanGGOLiN: Depicting microbial diversity via a Partitioned Pangenome Graph biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_bioinfo

here is a picture of me s̶c̶r̶e̶a̶m̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶i̶n̶t̶e̶r̶n̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ calmly presenting in front of an audience like i always do from approximately three years ago

I'm proud to introduce my first bioRxiv paper on new software to find gene-gene co-occurrence in pangenomes. Written with Martin Rusilowicz & James McInerney. *Now on Bioconda!* Coinfinder: Detecting Significant Associations and Dissociations in Pangenomes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Fancy! Look who just made the University News. Congrats Sarah Sarah Larragy and Dr. Hazel Dunbar on your awards for winning the #thesisin3 and flying the Maynooth Biology flag so proudly.

Mood

Abstract submission for the Early Career conference are now open! 8 speaker slots are up for grabs- all topics accepted! Join us for scientific sessions, non-academic careers talks, professional development.....and key note speaker Mike Cox on science and setting up his own lab.

Super happy this is out in the world! Working on this specialised ribosome project, with the most excellent people (Tayah, Karl Norris, julie aspden, FontanaLab, Prof Mary J. O'Connell, Charley McCarthy), has been one of my favourite parts of my PhD. Read and feedback away science twitter!

I'm so glad to share our findings on how the addition of culture can improve our understanding of the human microbiome (more MAGs, better functional assignmnts). >6 yrs in the making, this story involved an amazing & dedicated group of scientists! 👩‍💻🧫👩‍🔬 nature.com/articles/s4156…
