Our work on the dark side of genomes and metagenomes is finally out on @eLife!!

Have a look at @mschecht_bio's thread for an overview of what AGNOSTOS unveils when analyzing genomic and metagenomic data.

What is then AGNOSTOS? A 🧵

Great work and fantastic discovery!! I'm grateful I had the opportunity to contribute a tiny bit to it with AGNOSTOS :)

[tom delmont @tomodelmont]

Our discovery of a major group of DNA viruses abundant in the oceans, the #mirusviruses, is out! These viruses have large genomes and a complex evolution linking #herpesviruses and #giantviruses. They pose no risk to humans but are important to plankton ->https://t.co/3Sq1QLEKmo

We broke the world record in ancient DNA today! 2-million-year-old DNA from plants and animals were retrieved from geological deposits and show that North Greenland was once home to an open boreal/arctic community incl. mastodon. https://t.co/QUpGZ08Xr3 https://t.co/2DBZ99tDgc

Hi #ISME18!- on Tuesday at 15:45 I will present our paper on AGNOSTOS and the dark side of microbial genomes and metagenomes at the "Computational and experimental approaches [...]" session (SA10) in Auditorium C! Looking forward to seeing you there! https://t.co/SVFtGTXvnB

[Chiara Vanni @ChiaraVanni5]

In the end, I want to thank all my coauthors for their contribution, and especially @mschecht_bio @tomodelmont @thesteinegger @merenbey and of course Antonio Fernandez-Guerra, who started all this! To know more about this story, check this blogpost: https://t.co/Y9zgMlsaNi

Fin.

When exploring genomes and metagenomes, users will benefit from all of the knowledge that AGNOSTOS provides on anvi’o. Although we are not yet there, you can already get a taste of it following this tutorial: https://t.co/YHTIrtS9ab

Our new paper on #eukaryote #plankton Metagenome Assembled Genomes from #TaraOceans is out with @tomodelmont and @GenoLAGE

Thank you @merenbey and Antonio Fernandez-Guerra

[A. Murat Eren (Meren) @merenbey]

Overlaps between studies are inevitable, but failure to recognize previous work damage everyone, especially ECRs.

Pointing out omission of recognition can be a huge burden, but Antonio Fernandez-Guerra carries it here candidly to start a conversation: https://t.co/8CgWqbJxmG

[tom delmont @tomodelmont]

We explored uncharted phylogenetic signal within plankton (#TaraOceans+#anvio+#CompassBinning) and found something unexpected: a third class of #GiantVirus relatives with unusual functional traits and prevalent in the oceans: the **Mirusviricetes** https://t.co/BdQra69UHx More 👇

@BioMickWatson As @tomodelmont said, you can check our preprint on AGNOSTOS. In figure 3 we provide an overview on the extent of known and unknown genes in microbial metagenomes (marine and human microbiome) and genomes (from the GTDB) https://t.co/FHJk9lRGsD
