A clearer way to describe microbial habitats helps researchers compare #microbiome data. A new paper in #𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 introduces microntology: 148 terms and curated annotations for 305,626 #metagenomic samples. @tsbschm.bsky.social @embl.org @vishnuprasoodanan.bsky.social 📰 buff.ly/FD1SYYJ

Our study describing `microntology` and annotations for >300k metagenomes is now online in Bioinformatics @academic.oup.com : academic.oup.com/bioinformati... Congratulations to @fullam.bsky.social @vishnuprasoodanan.bsky.social & @biocs.bsky.social ! See the thread below for more details.

There is a lot of undescribed prokaryotic diversity in existing whole-genome metagenomic data! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Most microbial diversity is still missing from genome catalogues. A new paper in @natmicrobiol.nature.com analysed 92,187 metagenomes and found that most discoverable bacterial and archaeal lineages sit in unbinned contigs. 📰 buff.ly/Q5XREM7 #Microbiome #Metagenomics @vishnuprasoodanan.bsky.social

Happy and grateful to have contributed to this work. Excited to share a new publication from the Sebastian Group at APC Microbiome Ireland. Many thanks to @tsbschm.bsky.social for the guidance and continued support. Congratulations to all co-authors

We just released a @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social describing the *microntology*, a lightweight controlled vocabulary that we have been using for a while to tag metagenomes with contextual data. Study by @fullam.bsky.social @vishnuprasoodanan.bsky.social et al: 1/ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We've updated our recent @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social on 'Hidden but discoverable diversity in the global microbiome', led by @vishnuprasoodanan.bsky.social & @omaistrenko.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We hope many of you will find it useful, and will continue to add data. Here's the preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... - hopefully coming soon to a NAR Database Issue near you 😅 Thanks to everyone in the @borklab.bsky.social @embl.org who contributed to this! 7/7

🚀 Excited to be part of this study! 🧪 Our research shows that a milk-derived peptide✨ can boost intestinal mucus function even with low fiber intake 🌾⬇️ — opening the door to a potential new prebiotic 🌱 for supporting gut health 💪🩺.

Our latest work is now online! Explored how obesogenic diets, obesity, and key experimental factors (mouse vendor, sex, microbiota) influence intestinal antimicrobial peptide (AMP) expression

New Preprint Alert! 🌍🧬 We’re thrilled to share our latest study tackling one of the biggest question.. "How many prokaryotic species, genera, and deeper lineages actually exist on Earth?"

🎉 Excited to celebrate World Microbiome Day with the release of our newest publication! Flavonoids rely on gut microbial enzymes for their bioactivity. 📖 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #Microbiome #Flavonoids #GutHealth #DietAndHealth #Bioinformatics #MicrobialMetabolism #HumanMicrobiome

Had a wonderful opportunity to attend the Infection Biology Across Scales workshop at Umeå University! The event, organized by EMBL, SciLifeLab, and MIMS, brought together researchers to explore cutting-edge advancements in microbiome research, multi-omics, mucus biology, antimicrobial resistance.
