We are thrilled to announce our latest publication in the Microbiome journal in collaboration with @TheHessLab

Supplementation with red seaweed in cows reduces methane and induces previously uncharacterized hydrogenotropic bacteria. #ClimateScience

New Banfield lab pre-print highlighting 1.5Mb megaplasmids found in human gut.

#Plasmid genomes were resolved using @PacBio HiFi sequencing and hifiasm-meta for #metagenome assembly. Host association was detected using #epigenetic signals.

Happy to share our latest work on CH4 emission mitigation using transgenic rice plants:

We uncover that it is altered rice root exudates that reduce the total microbial-derived H2 pool ultimately decreasing the associated hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis

Celebrating #InternationalMicroorganismDay (@IntMicroDay) by announcing our 2024 Microbial Genomics SMRT Grant Awardees! 🎉 Meet the winners and finalists using #PacBio HiFi metagenome assembly & Kinnex full-length 16S for microbiome research. https://t.co/06CLBqLD0f

[Allison @Assembler_AG]

I’m very excited to take my metagenomic research to the next level! Thanks to all the sponsors for this amazing opportunity @PacBio @SeqCenter @ZymoResearch @PhaseGenomics

[Daniel Portik @DPortik]

Winners of the @PacBio SMRT Grants for #metagenomics and #16S have been announced!

We had 300+ applicants for metagenomics this year 🤯. The diversity of projects was incredible, and many are convinced #HiFi produces the best metagenome assemblies.

@luisarchaeota @MonashBDI @MonashUni So exciting! Hope you have an amazing time Luis!

[Allison @Assembler_AG]

@DPortik @PacBio Great thread on the challenges of benchmarking studies when the technologies and tools evolve quickly!

[Ling-Dong Shi @LingDongShi1]

Extremely excited to see our Methanoperedens ECE paper online in @NatureMicrobiol !!

In one sentence, we discover a lot of new ECEs associated with Methanoperedens and elucidate their interactions!
