Samuel Aroney at ISME - International Society for Microbial Ecology presenting Bin Chicken, a super useful computational tool for binning rare MAGs using targeted coassembly #isme19

Rossen Zhao at ISME - International Society for Microbial Ecology presenting Lyrebird, for profiling viruses in metagenomic dataets using conserved sequence tags! #isme19

One of our team leads, A/P Luis Pedro Coelho, presented at ISME - International Society for Microbial Ecology conference currently taking place in South Africa. Luis spoke about microbes and the microbiome to local school children of Cape Town. To find out more about CMR's exciting research, chat to our team at ISME

Hope you can make it to the #isme24 biogeography session at 15:10 room 1.6 - if not try sandpiper.qut.edu.au and github.com/AroneyS/binchi… for your profiling and co-assembly needs

Great pleasure to work with Wei Shen 沈 伟 on a new indexing and alignment scheme, called LexicMap: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We have been working on uniformly reassembling, QC-ing and annotating all bacterial (+ now archaeal) data, & wanted to be able to do full alignment to it....

A convenient nail for the SingleM hammer. See @R_Eisenhofer's 🧵x.com/R_Eisenhofer/s… Thanks also isac Centre for Microbiome Research and efficient reviewers/editor.

1/7 The GlobalCarbonProject has published its four Global Methane Budget as an ERL paper and pre-print in ESSD; links at the end of thread. Humans are now responsible for two-thirds or more of all global CH4 emissions It covers the period 2000-2020, with some extensions up to 2023

Check out the latest article from CMR’s Phil b. Pope, published in Nature Microbiology. The study explores how bacteria found in the gut of Atlantic salmon can support their health and growth. Read more here: shorturl.at/MfEIc

We are honoured to have been named a finalist in the 2024 Research Australia Awards, sponsored by The Australian National University. It is an incredible recognition of the hard work the team puts in every day to drive innovation in microbiome science. Well done, team 👏

A huge congrats to the CMR team for taking home the Research Australia 2024 Frontiers Award! This award recognises transformative research that could improve health outcomes in Australia and globally. We are so proud of our team and look forward to more exciting research to come🎉

We are proud to share that CMR's Prof Gene Tyson, A/Prof Luis Pedro Coelho and A/Prof Ben WoOdcroft have been named 2024 Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers! A well-deserved recognition of your dedication to advancing scientific knowledge 👏👏 See the full list: shorturl.at/d6WxE

Happy to be involved in a community spirited effort on river microbiomes from by Mikayla A. Borton Kelly Wrighton out in Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…. Gratifying to see SingleM / Sandpiper sandpiper.qut.edu.au used to establish the biogeography of novel species in public metagenomes

A great way to get more MAGs out of your metagenomes without further sequencing cost. MAGs from coassemblies appear *better* quality, not more chimeric. Excellent work from Samuel Aroney here.

Will always be our first Rust for Bioinformatics project, a special place.

Congrats to CMR PhD student Brett Babec for taking home the best student speaker prize at this year's MGE Aus meeting 🥳 And another congrats to Lara Carrington on securing the ASM QLD Branch Mobile Genetic Elements Award. Excellent work both 👏👏

Until now, it's been very hard for scientists to establish a detailed timeline of the early evolution of bacteria. Ben WoOdcroft QUT theconversation.com/1-trillion-spe…

Our newest tool, CoverM, a unified software package which calculates several coverage statistics for contigs and genomes in an ergonomic and flexible manner has been published in Bioinformatics. You can find the full article at the link below! rb.gy/17w2df
