I'm thrilled to share our team's effort towards enabling ML usage and evaluation for microbiologists. Here goes the summary thread 🧵

1/6

[Segata Lab @cibiocm]

In NEW @NatureRevMicro article,

@fasnicar Andrew Maltez Thomas @andrea_whatever @LeviWaldron1 and @nsegata cover the aspects that they consider most important to enable microbiologists to use machine learning.

Expanding the Segatella copri complex. @AitorBM @cibiocm @StrowigLab extend Segatella copri (formerly P. copri) complex (ScC) to 13 species. ScC members contain distinct genomic elements & content & display variable association to host conditions https://t.co/ikMQiaZlyA

[Nature Biotechnology @NatureBiotech]

BugSigDB captures patterns of differential abundance across a broad range of host-associated microbial signatures https://t.co/i2JsFJMUqH

@CarolinaAlvesC5 @AlbigesL @derosa__lisa Parabéns!🎊👏🏻

[Andrew Thomas @andrew_m_thomas]

@MireiaVallesc @UPFbiomed @the_prbb Congrats Mireia!! Well deserved 👏🏻🍾🎉

[GutMicrobiota Health @GMFHx]

The origin of some cancers is closely related to dysbiosis.

Zitvogel, @nsegata, @JenWargoMD & colleagues discuss the role of Gut OncoMicrobiome Signatures as next-generation biomarkers for cancer immunotherapy:

[Andrew Thomas @andrew_m_thomas]

Happy to see this out! A personal culmination led by great scientists and mentors @nsegata Laurence Zitvogel & Guido Kroemer, embodying fantastic collaborative science with Marine, Bertrand & Jen, with teachings from @cibiocm @SeeraveF #oncobiome members and others along the way

[NatureRevClinOncol @NatRevClinOncol]

In a Review now published online, Andrew Maltez Thomas, Marine Fidelle, Bertrand Routy, Guido Kroemer, Jennifer A. Wargo, Nicola Segata & Laurence Zitvogel discuss Gut OncoMicrobiome Signatures and their value as diagnostic and predictive biomarkers: https://t.co/J3X0AYZAC5

MetaPhlAn 4 is published today OA in Nature Biotechnology @NatureBiotech https://t.co/QEwwx08nVo We added GTDB output, improved performance and comparative analyses w.r.t. the preprint version. Huge thanks to @AitorBM for the eroic effort and to all @nsegata and @hutlab

[Laura Bolte @laura_bolte]

Is there a link between the response to immunotherapy and habitual diet in cancer patients? Excited to share with you the results of our study published today in @JAMAOnc. To learn more, check out the paper and follow this thread:

[Seerave Foundation @SeeraveF]

New #research published in @JAMAOnc shows that a Mediterranean diet can improve the efficacy of #immunotherapy for patients with metastatic melanoma. Encouraging news for #cancer patients worldwide!

[Mireia Valles-Colomer @MireiaVallesc]

Very excited to announce our paper on person-to-person transmission of the gut and oral microbiomes has just been published in @Nature!

[Segata Lab @cibiocm]

"The person-to-person transmission landscape of the gut and oral microbiomes". Our work on microbiome stransmission published today open-access in @Nature! Fantastic work @MireiaVallesc, the whole @cibiocm group @CIBIO_UniTrento and all the collaborators! https://t.co/EB4TFlIDIh

[Nicola Segata @nsegata]

Multiple open positions in my lab!

Please re-tweet and get in touch with me for any questions! Other positions will appear, looking for enthusiastic candidates not necessarily experienced in metagenomes as long as they have solid computational or quantitative background!

[Segata Lab @cibiocm]

Can we assess engraftment of donor's strains in FMT? What drives it?

In our latest study @NatureMedicine we examine the extent and determinants of strain engraftment upon FMT, and build ML models to predict the resulting microbiome composition (thread).

MetaPhlAn version 4 is out! Big improvements with the possibility to profile uSGBs (i.e. MAG-defined species), better markers, ~27k tot SGBs (species), estimation of the unknowns, and more. DB based on >1M genomes+MAGs! Preprint, code, tutorials available! https://t.co/OFunixGFkY

[bioRxiv Bioinfo @biorxiv_bioinfo]

Extending and improving metagenomic taxonomic profiling with uncharacterized species with MetaPhlAn 4 https://t.co/oZGSeSQl5h #biorxiv_bioinfo

[Helder Nakaya @helder_nakaya]

Turning personal data into DNA sequences and using BLAST to link huge health-related databases.

That was the idea of ​​the project Tucuxi-BLAST that has just been published. Enjoy!
