Ppl are on twitter for many reasons. I'm here to chew bubblegum & teach scientific inference. And I'm all out of gum. Engage yourself with 20+ hours of free lectures on causal inference and Bayesian data analysis. This isn't an ordinary statistics course. github.com/rmcelreath/sta…

Stuck in metagenomic data wanting to resolve strains? We have lorikeet for you 😎! So lorikeet is a within-species variant analysis pipeline for metagenomic communities that utilize long and short reads. 👏👏👏 to Rhys Newell github.com/rhysnewell/Lor… #Bioinformatics #rustlang

We showed: 1. quantification of SARS-CoV-2 from wastewater; 2. phylogenetic inference; and 3. VOC detection through tiling amplicon sequencing. Great fun so far, more to come. Thanks to collaborators Jianhua Guo acweb @BGI_Genomics Ben WoOdcroft and Rhys Newell.



Two exciting talks tomorrow at noon: 1) Anna Trigos: Spatial analysis to dissect the tumour immune microenvironment Anna Trigos Peter Mac Cancer Centre 2) Ben Woodcroft: New tools for genome-centric metagenomics Ben WoOdcroft QUT


Check out some of our research Centre for Microbiome Research being presented #ISME18 in Lausanne Switzerland this week! Ben WoOdcroft Rhys Newell Alex Chklovski


Come find me at #ISME18 at poster 94 to talk about variant calling, strains diversity, and #rustlang in one of the tools from my PhD: Lorikeet Centre for Microbiome Research






Shoutout to Rhys Newell for developing Aviary, used to generate bacterial MAGs associated with head and neck cancer George Bouras #AGTA22


Excited to see our paper on the 'shape-shifting' anaerobic methanotroph Methanoperedens out in Nature Micro! Many thanks to the editors and reviewers. Centre for Microbiome Research UQ ACWEB Xueqin Zhang Ben WoOdcroft Rhys Newell Nature Microbiology nature.com/articles/s4156…
