🦘✂️ Thanks to @cziscience.bsky.social , @wytamma.bsky.social and I are writing the next version of the Snippy bacterial variant calling pipeline. We want your input on what features s it will have. Please fill out this (longish) survey to help make Snippy great again! forms.gle/YJP6WQjsk8KK...

🚀🧬 MY former colleague @micamer.bsky.social who I worked with in the early years of my career has released a BLAST service (GUI + API options) which replicates the NCBI services but with faster response times.

Buruli ulcer: flesh-eating bacteria spreads in Melbourne suburb amid warning about rise in cases

I am hiring a Research Assistant microbiologist! We are new, expanding research group in the School of Microbiology, UCC and APC Microbiome Ireland in Cork studying anaerobic gut bacteria. Deadline for applications 29th November. Apply here: ore.ucc.ie Job ID: 081111

Our latest paper now published in MGen. Long read surveillance identifying inter-species spread of a KPC plasmid in Birmingham www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

The M.spongiae paper is online! A really cool cousin (that's not how phylogenetics works) of Mtb identified in Marine sponges in the great barrier reef. journals.plos.org/plospathogen...

Congrats especially to @tstinear.bsky.social and Sacha, driving the project over the last decade. I contributed to the project while in Roland Brosch's lab.

Look at this great story! @tstinear.bsky.social presented the genome of the new species Mycobacterium spongiae isolated from a sponge in the great barrier reef in Paris about 8 years ago. 1/x www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Really good blog post from Ryan (as always) on latest ONT accuracy rrwick.github.io/2023/10/24/o...

Did a big thread on Twitter, but will keep it short here. We have a new paper out! If you're into signal transduction, staph aureus, and/or nifty molecular biology then check it out. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Our latest paper is out now. The brilliant Chris Connor’s entire PhD in one paper. And I hope a new avenue of research opened in MDR E. coli journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... 1/n
