On the cover, the microbiome is depicted as an interconnected network in which relationships among genes and proteins provide context for uncovering hidden biological functions. Zhang et al. introduce FUGAsseM, a method that uses microbial community data to infer the functions of previously uncharacterized gene products https://t.co/E6OUv02FYU

We enjoyed meeting and hearing from everyone at #CSHLmicrobe last week! @ycongzhang gave a virtual talk on FUGAsseM and we wrapped up the week with a lovely banquet and some volleyball! Many great science convos were had - can't wait to be back!

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

[hutlab @hutlab]

We recently released MetaPhlAn 3.1 & HUMAnN 3.1 with over 2,000 new species markers and pangenomes. To learn about what has changed in 3.1 and how to update, check out:

@KihyunMicrobiol @chuttenh @efranzosa @hutlab Thanks Kihyun! Yes, you are right. It's pronounced as "Meta" followed by "Vee Bae Lae" (biscuit in Germany :-)

[Yancong Zhang @ycongzhang]

So excited to have the MetaWIBELE paper out! My great honor to work with these amazing teams. Many thanks to everyone who helped it out - @chuttenh, @efranzosa, my colleagues from @hutlab, my cooperators, and many others.
