If you're a big cheddar cheese fan, you can thank interactions between Streptococcus thermophilus and strains of Lactococcus for part of its distinct cheddary taste.

Check out this new piece from @Chr_Hansen, in collaboration with @embl and @Cambridge_Uni.
Big thanks to @Innofond for supporting the project!

Savoring any Cheddar cheese this winter season? Did you know that the scrumptious fruity, creamy, and nutty flavors are a product of bacterial interactions? Check out our new study to learn more https://t.co/cytUU8KnMr 🧀 🧬 #cheese #metabolism

@ArzamasovAlex Glad you understand the importance and acknowledge the extensive effort required to generate manually curated models that are 'practically usable' in real life applications

@kiran_r_patil @AnnaELindell @embl @MRC_TU @Cambridge_SBS @Cambridge_Uni Congrats @kiran_r_patil et al! Very nice piece, as always :)

@luispedrocoelho @randomdan1el @emanuelvgo @antisens3 @istecnico @SCSatCMU I would personally not always hard link journal titles to their scope, but this merits another discussion :)
Here's a different opinion that considers computational biology as a subfield of bioinformatics (preface of Bioinformatics Programming using Python)

[Ahmad Adel Zeidan @aazeidan]

@randomdan1el @luispedrocoelho @emanuelvgo @antisens3 @istecnico @SCSatCMU I think academically, computational biology is about developing algorithms (perhaps using a pen and a paper) to analyze biological data, whereas bioinformatics is about implementing and applying these algorithms for the actual analysis of data

[Ahmad Adel Zeidan @aazeidan]

@lieke_ann @FEMSmicro @IntMicroDay Congrats @lieke_ann !

[Ahmad Adel Zeidan @aazeidan]

@vdlorenzo_CNB @OdedRechavi I always believed that a review article in a decent journal is much more visible and and accessible than chapters in edited books, at least based on citations.
Authored books, however, still have their own niche.
