"Towards the biogeography of prokaryotic genes" is finally out at @Nature
We wanted to know what genes are out there and how they are distributed around the world
A 🧵 on the main findings

1. Major unlock of CRISPR potential empowered by metagenomics #NewMetaCRISPR. I’ve been hoping to see this happen for years: a way to edit the genomes of microorganisms within communities
The sum is greater than the parts: exploiting microbial communities to achieve complex functions. - Zaramela LS et al. - https://t.co/wSDG83y8Rp #microbiome
>400 enrichments using goat feces and metagenomics reveals how fungal and bacterial consortia breakdown lignocellulose - a key component of plant waste that can be harnessed for biofuels @omalleylab

🛑ARRÊTEZ tout 🛑 Lisez ⏬⏬ maintenant, on ne complote plus, on s’instruit, on réfléchit et on remercie @lionel_case d’avoir pris tout de ce temps en un délai aussi court pour nous rendre plus intelligents ! #ARNm#COVID19#Vaccin
Bon, j'ai traduit en 🇫🇷 l'excellente visite guidée par @PowerDNS_Bert de la séquence génétique du #vaccin BioNTech / Pfizer.
Un grand merci à @Damkyan_Omega + @GenetixVideos pour leurs relectures et corrections (les fautes c'est moi 😄)

A survey of yeasts from around the world shows that, over the course of centuries, industrial and artisanal bread making have each led to the evolution of a distinct lineage of baker’s yeast. #ResearchHighlight https://t.co/fvQAQ0gUgQ
An estimated nine out of ten symptomatic cases of COVID-19 were not detected by the surveillance system in France shortly after the nationwide lockdown ended in May 2020, according to a Nature paper. https://t.co/7sx31PwjLz
Alternative stable states in the intestinal ecosystem: proof of concept in a rat model and a perspective of therapeutic implications https://t.co/tJookD6uxc
An excellent overview on gut microbiota metabolites and plenty of examples which led to substantial progress in understanding host–microbiota interactions. https://t.co/Db4Wc89AYX
