Looking forward to presenting and discussing our microbiome research on Thu May 12th.

[CMI @ UC San Diego @CMIdigest]

Join CMI and IBM researchers for a day-long webinar covering the impactful work our collaboration has produced in the realms of human health, pandemic response, microbiome data analysis, and more. https://t.co/111Htdo0RU

[Qiyun Zhu @zhuqiyun]

Our paper "Phylogeny-Aware Analysis of Metagenome Community Ecology Based on Matched Reference Genomes while Bypassing Taxonomy" is online! https://t.co/XnKD12Pv3V Thanks to all! @KnightLabNews @gilbertjacka @minouye271 @antagomir @phylogeo @BP_Teemu @hocheolkim1 @genomewhisperer

[Niina Haiminen @genomewhisperer]

Our paper made it to the top 100 most downloaded microbiology papers published in Scientific Reports 2021! https://t.co/4P4xyrxRGi

@hocheolkim1 @IBMResearch Congratulations Ho-Cheol! Keep the positive energy going 🎉

[Niina Haiminen @genomewhisperer]

Read about our latest @IBMResearch @IBM & UC San Diego research for faster and greener phylogenetic diversity computation published in @genomeresearch, with @annapcarrieri @theladybeck @hocheolkim1 @LaxmiParida16 and many wonderful collaborators! 👏

[CMI @ UC San Diego @CMIdigest]

Phylogenetic diversity is a critical but computationally expensive part of microbiome research. Learn how the CMI and IBM Research collaborated on a faster and greener algorithm to calculate Faith's phylogenetic diversity. @IBMResearch @genomeresearch https://t.co/ugtUyGQjz5

[CMI @ UC San Diego @CMIdigest]

While many metagenomic profiling tools have been created and used effectively, benchmarking their performance has proven difficult. See how the CMI, IBM Research, & others are collaborating to solve the challenge.

It has been a pleasure to attend and present our work at #MDC2021 ! So many amazing talks at this virtual microbiome event👏

[Kristina Campbell, microbiome science writer @bykriscampbell]

Today's software demos at #MDC2021:
First up, 2 presenters from @IBMResearch on the company's microbiome-related toolbox.

Functional Genomics Platform Lead Bioinformatician @theladybeck & Computational Genomics Research Scientist @genomewhisperer

[Niina Haiminen @genomewhisperer]

Excited to share this @naturemethods paper published today 👏 resulting from a wonderful collaboration between UC San Diego, Harvard, and @IBMResearch -- drawing attention to distinguishing between taxonomic and sequence abundances in microbiome studies

[Kristen Beck @theladybeck]

New pre-print and code from our group is now live on @biorxivpreprint. High accuracy identification of #SARSCoV2 genes, proteins, and functional domains without requiring a reference genome. #OpenScience #OpenData @IBMResearch

[Elliot Hershberg @ElliotHershberg]

A recent preprint from the @KnightLabNews describes the utility of Operational Genomic Units for detecting structure in the microbiome.
