Today we’re excited to freely share an early-version of, perhaps, the world’s most expansive genetics dataset: Logan.

We are thrilled to reveal our story in @NatureGenet on using high-throughput functional genomics to systematically study the biology of both generalist & human-restricted Salmonella: https://t.co/QZH50YaOa8
This work was led by our postdoc @BenjaminXWang1

SPAdes 4.0 is released! https://t.co/uulEMmMFlu

Since 2022 SPAdes is not related to any institution and is maintained by the SPAdes team - an international group of volunteers. Although this might be the last major release, we strongly intend to continue supporting our users!

Very excited to finally see our study of global RNA stability in Salmonella out today in
@PNASnews, where we use Bayesian statistical modeling to show bacterial transcripts have subminute half-lives, far shorter than previously thought. https://t.co/9m1DVnIkOM 1/n

I keep on preaching to my lab about the usefulness @ChatGPTapp for coding, but real-life demos might be more effective. A thread on a neural network we quickly developed to classify antibiotics sensitivity 🧵 (1/10)

[Mrinalini Watsa @SurroundScience]

So @nanopore discovered something a few days ago - and it has to do with light. And they posted this image (sorry, too good not to share off the community). Yes, that’s 469% increased output. So, we decided to give it a shot and …

It's finally here! Our new paper in Nature Methods:

How should we name Salmonella in the genomic era? How about MAC typing ...https://t.co/6Qcp1hEz7D

[Adam Phillippy @aphillippy]

Our latest methods paper "Minmers are a generalization of minimizers that enable unbiased local Jaccard estimation" (aka MashMap3) is out with @BKille @erikgarrison @traingene! There's an interesting backstory here 🧵 \ https://t.co/ZVwiHsVNBO

Lovely to have had Institute alumni Profs @joshuaarimi & Eunice Marete from @MeruUniversity for the past week. Great to catch up & looking forward to continuing our working relationship via @Erasmus +ICM project #foodsecurity #bioeconomy Safe travels home & see you again soon!

[Will Ratcliff @wc_ratcliff]

I’m delighted that our paper on the Multicellularity Long Term Evolution Experiment (MuLTEE) has, at long last, been published. This paper establishes the foundations of what I’d like to work on for the rest of my career. 1/25

My colleague @sciencecohen and I spent months investigating @GISAID and the mysterious man behind it, Peter Bogner. Here's what we found. https://t.co/FVfswDnAD5

Congratulations to all our Final Year Food Science students on their wonderful presentations today.
A lovely finish to the semester, well done to all and of course thanks to Prof Nigel Brunton, module coordinator! 👏🏻

[Andrea Watson @awatsontxt]

Delighted to announce the publication of this work from my PhD! We show that metabolically independent microbes associated with human gut “dysbiosis” may not in fact be causal of disease, but instead selected for under stressful conditions. (1/4)

Want to know the deep secrets about MLST?
Last week on microbinfie podcast:
We talk to Professor Ed Feil (University of Bath) @EpicFeil_ and Dr Natacha Couto (University of Oxford) @_natachacouto_ about the early days of MLST.

Kind of sucks when you've been telling people publicly that they should abandon UMAPs because they can be misleading and don't provide a faithful representation of the data... and then you look at a UMAP and it's really useful. 1/3
