Finally out! BBERT - an LLM that can detect bacterial reads using as little as 100 base pairs! Go try it! @amirerez.bsky.social @finkel-lab.bsky.social

@naturalist1986.bsky.social has done it again, this time with 3rd prize at the ISPS meeting in the beautiful Sde Boker. Poster title: A rhizobial trickster: Legume symbiont simultaneously fixes atmospheric nitrogen and denitrifies. Time to turn these posters into manuscripts.

Carving out the microbiota of Earth’s largest biomass reservoir @naturalist1986.bsky.social @finkel-lab.bsky.social highlight work of Peccia lab on microbiome of trees- an overdue dive into unique & diverse prokaryotic & fungal communities of heartwood & sapwood www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...

Check out this preview @naturalist1986.bsky.social and I wrote about the fantastic paper on wood microbiota from Wyatt Arnold and colleagues: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I'm really grateful to have @naturalist1986.bsky.social as a post-doc in the lab, and am glad to see his work being recognized with a best poster award at the annual meeting of the Israeli Society for Microbiology.
