🧬 🦠 🏙️ Urban vs rural lifestyles create dramatically different gut microbiomes. But how do these different gut microbiomes affect the host? Excited to share our new paper: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Proud of the latest edition of my free intro biostats book. gitrepo: github.com/ybrandvain/b... book: ybrandvain.github.io/biostats/ Not complete but at a good point to take a break, and I think its quite usable dm me with comments , ideas etc

Hey Yaniv Brandvain is not on Bluesky but his most recent biostats ebook is live ybrandvain.github.io/biostats/. His stats resources have been so helpful to me as I develop my own stats course, so check it out. Github repo here: github.com/ybrandvain/b...

Thinking about a postdoc in microbiome science? Our lab at the MPI for Biology (Tübingen) builds on the culture I established at Cornell: collaborative, creative, and internationally diverse. Postdocs lead their own projects with secure funding. Join us! #PostdocJobs #HostMicrobe #AcademicJobs

For #worldmicrobiomeday, re-sharing our recent Review by @pamferretti.bsky.social, Kelsey Johnson, @sambhawa.bsky.social & @blekhman.bsky.social on the 'Genomics of host–microbiome interactions in humans', which is free to read using this link: rdcu.be/etIRy

ICYMI: New online! Genomics of host–microbiome interactions in humans

Just out in Nature Reviews Genetics! From twin studies to microbiome GWAS to cutting-edge transcriptomics, we explore the cross-talk between our genes and the microbiome! Fun working together with @pamferretti.bsky.social @blekhman.bsky.social Kelsey Johnson www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📣 Happy to share our review on host-microbiome genomics! We synthesize the growing field exploring interactions between human genetics and the microbiome, building a roadmap for mapping the dialogue between our genes and microbes Out now in Nature Reviews Genetics👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Interested in microbiome GWAS and heritability studies? Check out our new Review in Nature Reviews Genetics! We explore key findings, challenges, and future directions of the field. rdcu.be/epoRR @blekhman.bsky.social @sambhawa.bsky.social and Dr. Kelsey Johnson.

Ever stuck choosing the right plot or trying to figure out how to make it look just right? My go-to resource is the R Graph Gallery (r-graph-gallery.com), which is full of examples and clear code for everything from scatterplots to Sankey diagrams! #dataviz #rstats #rladies

The eternal question: should you focus on one problem for a very long time or is it more productive to bounce and work on many problems? David Baker says that both modes have been important in his career trajectory. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n... @nightsciencepod.bsky.social

These are challenging times for science, but I'm happy to share a bright moment: our work is on the cover of Cell today. We built a compendium of human gut microbiomes integrating 168K worldwide samples, revealing patterns of microbiome variation across the globe www.cell.com/cell/current...

Check out Samantha's thread for a deep dive into the results 👇 bsky.app/profile/sama...

Today we report a new compendium of human gut microbiomes with >168,000 samples By analyzing this massive dataset, we discovered distinct microbiome patterns across the globe, and show we can predict where a person lives just from their gut bacteria Now out in Cell: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
