Nice work from @sharonhuws @CreeveyLab Phylogenetic systematics of Butyrivibrio & Pseudobutyrivibrio genomes illustrate vast taxonomic diversity,open genomes and an abundance of carbohydrate-active enzyme family isoforms https://t.co/ypAyCHkllR #MGen #PublishingForTheCommunity

Late breaking PhD opportunity in @CreeveyLab on metagenomic analysis of microbial ecology and evolution in early life of ruminants. w. @sharonhuws @kattheodoridou Please share! Sept 18 deadline! @QUBIGFS @QUBbioscience @RMG_network https://t.co/wRTAYoY9hQ

[Chris Creevey @Hairy_Llama]

Suddenly interested in viruses? Well how about rumen viruses? Just out, a really nice review paper I had the privilege to be involved in, with @LifeIsDifficile @tcahitch @ThePopeLab and others on this topic https://t.co/m2Mcqku2CV @QUBIGFS @QUBbioscience @QUBelfast @RMG_network

[Jess Friedersdorff @LifeIsDifficile]

Seeing as how viruses are all the rage right now, how about reading about the different ways to study these tiny yet significant things in cows and sheep? #virus #notatweetaboutcovid https://t.co/u0prUJh81C

Two #microbiome #PhD positions open in my group, one guaranteed funded (https://t.co/7PBu8fyKc9) and one competitively funded (https://t.co/9ugaQGMIq1) Please share with any students who might be interested in this area! @CreeveyLab #jobfairy

[Chris Creevey @Hairy_Llama]

Very pleased that https://t.co/PHbBr4DWFO has been chosen to be part of this programme led by @flwrs4algrnon . Watch this space!

Great talk by @LifeIsDifficile today about her work on Hyper ammonia producers (HAPs) from the rumen. She even got an appreciative groan from the audience for her “HAPpy” puns! :) @CreeveyLab @ibers_aber @QUBIGFS

[Chris Creevey @Hairy_Llama]

@CreeveyLab is well represented at #Microbio19 in Belfast. @nickdimonaco and @telmatobita with posters (A043 & A176 respectively in tomorrows poster session) & @LifeIsDifficile & @flwrs4algrnon with talks (Tuesday and Thursday). Come along and say Hi! 👋 @MicrobioSoc

[Creevey Lab @CreeveyLab]

Latest paper from the group.

[Chris Creevey @Hairy_Llama]

Very pleased to see the advance access of @telmatobita paper in MBE. This is a very nice work that demonstrates how paralogy drives artefacts in Phylogenomic analyses. https://t.co/zlACINZUHc with @Evol_Molly @Clocks_n_crabs and others. Check it out!

[Chris Creevey @Hairy_Llama]

Funded PhD project available in my group @QUBIGFS @QUBelfast on the microbial ecology of vertebrate gut microbiomes. Open to students with biology/computer/bioinformatic backgrounds. Deadline Nov 5th for January Start. Please share! https://t.co/IAknuCKfqq @creeveylab #PhDfunding

[AberMycol @AberMycol]

Wonderful paper by Wang et al. (https://t.co/9Ibx0vg5Jo) showing how divergence of anaerobic gut fungi coincided with radiation of grasses and evolution of mammalian herbivory. Some intriguing horizontal gene transfer events also identified @AnaerobicFungi
