Back in 1962 microscopy was used to pen a hypothesis about eukaryote-microbe relationships. ~65 years later we have coupled the latest advancements in long read MetaG, MetaP and EUK SAGs to help explain what this means for wider rumen microbiome function www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Out in @natbiotech.nature.com: Metagenome taxonomy profilers usually ignore unknown species. SingleM is an accurate profiler which doesn't, even detecting phyla with no MAGs. Profiles of 700,000 metagenomes at sandpiper.qut.edu.au. A 🧵
