Amazing opportunity 👇

Excellent talks and discussions today in our network meeting as part of @GRA_GHG, over 70 attendees from across the world with a photo of some of us below!

A PhD Graduate Research Assistantship is available at the University of Tennessee in the Genomics Center & Department of Animal Science. The student will work on a project aimed at identifying the mechanisms that underlie heterosis in beef cattle. @CritterChatter @RMG_network

Networks leads sharing research projects and priorities at #LRG2021 now - presentations are on the website https://t.co/azc96yC3ni

Open genomes with major genome diversity rife in rumen Butyrivibrio and Pseudobutyrivibro 👇

Bring it on 👇. We have the solutions just need to incentivise their use.

Programme for the workshop can be found here

If you’ve registered for this event you will automatically receive an invitation to join the @RMG_network workshop. Look forward to seeing you all virtually!

Please hold the date, RUmen Microbial Genomics workshop will be held on 15th October in pm, aligned to @GutMicrobio conference. Registration can be completed via main conference registration and details will communicated soon regarding workshop only registration.

If interested in metabolomics in the gut microbiome, check out our new paper in Nature: https://t.co/Vnc2U1M34B Great collaboration with @mfgrp , @czbiohub, Dylan Dodd, & others + dream-team leaders @shuolhan and Will Van Treuren. Hoping this work helps democratize the approach!

Pls share: Applications closing this Friday for a funded PhD position in my group to work on an exciting new EU Horizon 2020 project "Holoruminant". Funding is in place for UK and Irish students (or those meeting residency requirements). More details:

Realities and hopes in the application of microbial tools in agriculture

Have thoroughly enjoyed this great collaboration! Evaluation of Reproductive Tract Cytokines in Post-partum Beef Cows Relating to Reproductive Microbiota and Fertility Outcomes https://t.co/ecHKHjSFSz @UTAgResearch @UTAnimalScience

Wonderful to see this paper out after a mammoth amount of work by all involved, showing the detailed transcriptional activity of the rumen microbiome during the first 8 hours after grass is consumed. Identifying two attached sub-microbiomes + independents.

Very happy to see the fruits of our international collaboration published in @ISMEJournal Congratulations to @KurthJu1 @CUWelte et al #Methanogenic archaea use a bacteria-like #methyltransferase system to #demethoxylate aromatic compounds https://t.co/OiTI8u8FXc

Great to see another product of @GRA_GHG collaboration and extending earlier work of the Livestock Research Group’s Feed and Nutrition Network #FNN and GLOBAL NETWORK project https://t.co/04bkTIK06F @MPI_NZ @nzagrc

How is community structure in the human microbiome determined? This paper examines elements of this complex web of interactions, including inter-dependencies, trophic levels and synergetic interplay between microbes within the human microbiome https://t.co/ffmdWif6Vf

Please share: we have a fully funded 4 year(!) PhD opportunity in my group as part of the new EU H2020 project “Holoruminant”. The candidate will train in cutting edge microbiome and environmental DNA sequencing data analysis. Open to UK/ROI candidates.
