This is important work for the exciting next stage of metagenomics!.
I am very happy (and anxious) to share with you our most recent work in which we evaluated four of the most popular long-read assemblers, and tell you just a little bit about it in the following 🧵.

Biology’s so cool. - P. syringae produces syringafactin, which is deacylated by amoebae.- Deacylated syringafactin binds to CraR, triggering amoebicidal pyrofactin synthesis.- Cra allows P. syringae to infect Arabidopsis thaliana in the presence of amoebae.

Pseudomonas syringae can detect and kill microbial predators via a chemical radar (Cra), which also allows the bacterium to infect plants despite predation pressure.

No only is this being led by some incredible people, but anvio is a super-empowering platform for microbialomics! If this is interesting and doable for you, I promise it would be worth it!.
Come to our free-to-attend #anvio workshop and ECR symposium in Oldenburg to discuss integrated microbial 'omics and learn applications of anvi'o!. More information and application link (application deadline is Jan 10): Please apply and/or circulate 😇
