Whakamihi to the winners of the student talks & poster presentations! I’m chuffed to have been awarded the @dnatured & @FEMSmicro best poster for my work on E. coli ST1193 genomics using @nanopore. Tēnā koutou & thanks to all at #NZMS2022. I’ve learnt loads & met great people ❤️

[Budi Permana @nalarbudi]

So delighted to receive my PhD testamur yesterday. Finally!! I am incredibly grateful to my advisors Scott @beatsonlab and @fordebm for their guidance and mentorship, to my thesis panel and examiner's chair Mark @LabSchembri for keeping me on track during my candidature ...

After much development, I'm happy to announce PhyloDM #bioinformatics #rust4bio. A #python and #rustlang package that converts a tree into a pairwise distance matrix.

It uses ~94% less memory than DendroPy and is ~183x faster!

Interested in microbial transmission? Check out our paper on the vertical transmission of all dominant symbionts in the sponge Ianthella basta. We combined 16S, TEM, and FISH to show that the transmission occurs through a unique mechanism.
