At @ELIXIREurope's 2024 BioHackathon, we co-led work to improve how the metagenomics community can use RO-Crates to collectively describe and analyse more datasets, more efficiently. Our preprint envisions this as a federated microbiome analysis service: https://t.co/enNiz7Alvu
Presenting at the "Metagenomics in spaceflight" workshop at @NASA, Lorna-@microbiomego presented the vast microbiome resources available at @emblebi and @MGnifyDB to assist discussions to develop a roadmap for integration of metagenomic sequencing into planetary protection.
MGnify is also live on @bluesky

We will continue to post on both X and bluesky, and we look forward to engaging with you on your preferred platform.
We are very pleased to announce that we are now also live on @bluesky 🦋
Follow us and join our growing bioinformatics community as we are exploring the opportunities this platform has to offer.

@_martinbc just gave a great talk on the migration of MGnify, the metagenomics resource at @emblebi, to Nextflow, while adhering to @nf_core best practices!
Join @vagkaratzas on the 13th of November for a webinar: how our MGnify Proteins resource helps with exploration of the metagenomics sequence space. He'll demo newly released ways to query the dataset, and MGnifams - a new set of protein families derived from it.
We have a number of exciting webinars over the next month, which will go into more depth about several @emblebi resources including @uniprot@MGnifyDB@ebi_jdispatcher. You can also explore mouse phenotyping data with the @impc

Take a sneak peek into some of the work done by the MGnify team as our coordinator Lorna Richardson talks about the exciting world of the microbiome data!
Did you know that almost everything has a microbiome? 🦠
Lorna Richardson, our Coordinator for Microbiome Resources, discusses the world of microbiomes and her fascination for uncovering new things hidden within them.

@MGnifyDB
Together with our existing bulk data releases, these advancements make the database more accessible for more use cases and we're excited to see how it's used next.
The new web resource includes annotations and genomic context information for each protein cluster, along with a structure prediction from @AIatMeta's ESM Atlas when available. For example: https://t.co/Hou2FANABC
MGnify Proteins – our vast database of protein sequences derived from metagenomic sequencing – is now accessible via the web (https://t.co/ivZX5tEiED) and via @googlecloud BigQuery Public Datasets.

Plastic pollution is an environmental challenge. However, nature is creating its own solutions, such as plastic-eating bacteria.
Our researchers are using data from @TaraOcean_, @MGnifyDB and the #AlphaFold Database to find these enzymes in our oceans 🌊

It's been great getting back to running our courses after the summer break. This week we've enjoyed meeting participants for "Metagenomics bioinformatics at @MGnifyDB".
Interested in doing this course in 2025? Sign up to our list to receive updates: https://t.co/rHlq4AAG1H
From @ensembl to @uniprot , the @ENASequence , and more, our data resources provide scientists with vital access to biodiversity data.
Discover how these data resources are supporting global biodiversity and climate change research.

Coordinator @robdfinn was invited to present @BlueRemediomics developments again at #ISME19 in the marine ecology session - shown here is the updated version of the marine genomes catalogue in @MGnifyDB
Excited to present our work on MGnify genome catalogues at #ISME19 Tuesday afternoon. We are up to ~0.5 million genomes and ~30k species across 12 biomes. Stop by to chat all things MAGs if attending.
Cyanobacteria are key players in the food chain to support all other life forms.
New research uncovers unique genetic adaptations that facilitate cyanobacteria symbioses, expanding our understanding of their role in sustaining our ecosystems.

Introducing the 😱OMG dataset and 🤖gLM2! OMG is a massive Open MetaGenomic corpus totaling 3.1Tbp of data and 3.3B proteins. We train gLM2, the first mixed-modality genomic language model, on OMG. 1/🧵 #BioML#AI4Science
MGnify Genomes’ #marine catalogue has been updated to v2, with 33x the number of genomes compared to v1. It covers nearly 9x more species, and brings new annotations from our updated pipeline. This work is part of @BlueRemediomics and @EU_AtlantECO.
