📣 It is my pleasure to announce our recent review with Margherita on the current approaches, challenges, and perspectives in studying human maternal-fetal interface using in vitro models www.cell.com/cell-stem-ce... 🚀✨️

A great talk by Svitlana Serga about cytopIasmic incompatibility caused by #Wolbachia in the pest fly #Drosophila suzukii. CBGP, INRAE, France and Karazin Kharkiv National University, Ukraine. #ESEB2025

⚡ Russian forces launched another attack against Ukraine. 270 drones and 10 missiles were deployed. Administrative buildings of energy sector enterprises were damaged. No casualties were reported, according to local authorities.

I will be at the #ESEB2025 conference! Text me if interested to meet or catchup:) My poster is on Thursday about one of my hobby-projects about evolvability. Poster number is P03.284.

We're very happy to release our new database Metalog metalog.embl.de ! It offers manually curated and harmonised contextual data for 110k metagenomics samples across the globe, incl. precomputed taxonomic profiles, for interactive browsing and for download 🧵 1/7 #microsky

Our preprint on estimating how many more prokaryotic taxa can be discovered in the unbinned fraction of metagenomic samples. We predict that there are 10 archaeal and 145 bacterial novel phyla across all habitats. #MicrobialDarkMatter #TreeOfLife #Microbiome #Archaea #Bacteria #Metagenomics

The team's first preprint is out! Led by ‪ ‪@vishnuprasoodanan.bsky.social‬‬ & @omaistrenko.bsky.social , we asked a question (almost) as old as microbiology: how many prokaryotic species exist on Earth? More specifically, how much diversity is "hiding" in existing metagenomic data? A 🧵.

In our new study “Wolbachia in Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates: Absent or undiscovered?” doi.org/10.1111/1758... we summarise the diversity of terrestrial #invertebrates and discuss why #Wolbachia - the common #endosymbiont of invertebrates was not found in #Antarctica.

Pleased to announce that our latest paper is published in Cell! We developed a novel ML model that predicts fecal microbial load from relative species profiles, revealing it as a key factor shaping gut microbiome variation and disease-microbe associations www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
