Our latest preprint is out! An in-depth look at bacterial aggregates in corals, featuring lots of microscopy, metagenomics, everyone's favorite coral symbiont aka Endozoicomonas, and chlamydiae as unexpected guest stars. Have a read here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Preprint on viral discov in endolithic #metagenomes Cassie Ettinger, PhD Claudia Coleine Laura Selbmann ManuDelgadoBaquerizo w/ Susannah Tringe Simon Roux & NSURPorg ugrad M Saunders. Highly diverse & unknown #viruses may enhance #Antarctic endoliths' adaptability biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🪨🦠🧬🇦🇶

Our preprint is out! We provide a comprehensive study on the microbiome of the major coral skeleton algal symbiont Ostreobium and shed light on phylosymbiotic signatures. Have a read here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Detecting contamination in eukaryotic genomes, a new tool from the lab. Stunned by the extent of bacterial and fungal contamination of genomes. We show that contamination strongly impacts ancestral genome content analysis in the eukaryotes. Thread 1/6 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

More on #coralskeleton We provide a compendium of coral associated microbial MAGs, explore their functional and symbiosis forming capabilities. Great Collab with MicroEcology Lab Heroen Verbruggen @momedinamunoz @Fra_Ricci_ Linda Blackall Joana Costa academic.oup.com/gigascience/ar…

Tree plots summarizing GO term enrichment in #microalgae #omics analysis are now implemented in our web tool AlgaeFUN with MARACAS greennetwork.us.es/AlgaeFUN/ bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… (Dr.) ABRL Christina Arvanitidou @PedrodelosReyes Marcos

Do you want to recover MAGs from your metagenomic data? Check out our new pipeline, Metaphor! 🚀 Featuring multiple binning algorithms to optimise MAG recovery + flexible options for pooled assembly & binning: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Amazing group effort w/ Melbourne Data Analytics Platform (MDAP)!

First paper from my PhD is now published online🥳 We show the promise of 16S rRNA gene-based co-occurrence networks as a hypothesis-generating framework to study microalgal-bacterial interactions. Have a read here: nature.com/articles/s4159… Heroen Verbruggen Kshitij Tandon, PhD Dr Anusuya Willis

Reviewing for MDPI is a waste of time and a corruption of the scientific peer review process. Yesterday I sent back a second major revision, frustrated that the authors had ignored many of my comments. Today, paper is accepted. What a farce.

🚨 New Lab Pub 🚨 "Beyond the Symbiodiniaceae: diversity and role of microeukaryotic coral symbionts" (link.springer.com/article/10.100…). Here we describe the numerous protist symbionts of corals and their suspected roles in the holobiont! 🪸🦠

Beautiful review exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying coral-microbiome interactions at FEMS by Amin Mohamed Shady Amin et al. academic.oup.com/femsre/advance…

I’m excited to share a new publication in Journal of Phycology that was really fun to work on! It was so nice to write about finding unusual microbes in strange and not so strange places. We present: algae obscura! Debashish Bhattacharya L. Felipe Benites Timothy Stephens onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

I am struggling with writing, and I just posted this to our lab channel to vent. I thought I'd also send it here for the PhD students I do not advise. Just in case realizing that you're not alone in that struggle was the only thing you needed to start writing that paper :)

Here is the last from the lab of Comparative Genomics with Jordi Paps M. Eleonora Rossi Alex Bowles. A nice review of trees, genomes, and cells. UoB Palaeobiology frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

My first PhD chapter is out on GigaScience! We introduce Metaphor, a Snakemake workflow for annotation, assembly and binning of metagenomes. Do you wonder about what's the best way to analyse your metagenomic data?? Follow along for some pointers 🧵doi.org/10.1093/gigasc…
