🧪🦠🖥️🧬🧫🔬 The Roadmap for equitable use of public microbiome data -including the Data Reuse Information Tag (DRI)- by the #DataReuseConsortium. Must read if you use or produce microbiome data! Kudos to the Data Reuse Core Team for their hard work! doi.org/10.1038/s415...

I’ve written threads about the GBR-MGDs pMAGs, but it also contains viruses (vMAGs), including a monophyletic clade of marine Crassvirales, chromosome-level eukaryote eMAGs, and putative plasmids. We wanted a holistic DB. One problem: some key software appear to break with long reads. A 🦠 🧵.

Just a reminder to please fill out this form if you’d be interest in an EVE / ERV meeting 📋🥳

We seek PhD students fascinated by aquatic 🧫🦠🪱🦟🐟 who want to unravel tolerances, dispersal patterns and biotic interactions with field studies, field experiments, metagenomics, statistical and mechanistic models.

Why come to Essen in 🇩🇪🇪🇺? Great research environment, many water-related disciplines involved, creative work atmosphere, competitive PhD salary (esp. compared to 🇺🇲🇨🇦), affordable living costs and - yes - nice people.
