🦠 I'm happy to present a new nf-core pipeline for people interested in functional analysis of #MicrobialGenomes / #Metagenomes / #Microbiomes !

If you're interested in mining metagenomes for functional groups such as #AntiMicrobialResistance genes, #AntiMicrobialPeptides or #BiosyntheticGeneClusters, @nf_core /funcscan automates the screening of such sequences from input contigs or genomes in a highly parallelised, portable, and reproducible manner

Hi Everyone! Another Twitter (@LauraAzolla) deserter here, hoping to do some science networking online via an alternative route. I'm a scientist, lecturer, climber, sailor and photographer. I'm finishing my PhD thesis at @utrechtuniversity on Azolla #fern #metagenomes and #genomics [link](https://github.com/lauralwd/azolla_phd_thesis). Also, I just started a new job teaching bioinformatics to PhD candidates, also at UU. I'm an #openscience enthusiast, my code and writings are on [Github](https://github.com/lauralwd)!

@ionferrico also presented a poster on #MikrobioGune, about association networks based on #metagenomes of a time series from #estuary #sediments. In summary, very cool and exploratory stuff. Not that easy to interpret ecologically, but we're working on it

Everyone has opinions on long read sequencing, but not everyone has the data to support them. My study comparing @PacBio and @illumina sequencing for marine #metagenomes is out and it has a few surprises! 🧵https://doi.org/10.1128/msystems.00595-22

Successful day at the computer today - finished a first pass at assembling and binning 150 oak leaf #metagenomes into ~1000 bins. Look at all those beautifully complete fungal MAGs 😍

How to find #prokaryotic and #eukaryotic biosynthetic #gene clusters in #metagenomes? 🤔

@PronkLotte, the last speaker of #PlantMicrobeInteractions2022 is telling us more about it! 🦠

As a way of extending an #introduction to the #science I have most fun doing, I'll do a few toots on different areas of our #research.

In 2016, we realised we could perhaps take #DNA #sequencing to the field, to generate #microbiomes & #metagenomes in real time. Some of our lessons from #nanopore field #genomics are here: https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/mic.0.001220

It's meant we've sequenced on glaciers, in glaciers, coal mines, drill sites, and for #scicomm. Here's a #MinION being run for RI Christmas Lectures
