1/6 Excited to share our latest work @UWaterloo published in @Virus_Evolution on horizontal gene transfer of a #virus gene (nblA) involved in the disassembly of phycobilisomes, cyanobacterial light-harvesting complexes: https://t.co/BRU5QPngVt

Many of us want to detect & infer roles of giant virus in metagenomes but are limited by available tools and bioinfo expertise. BEREN is a modular, one-stop-shop for giant virus & virophage identification in metaG datasets. Latest from our lab, spearheaded by @Benjamin_Minch !
Are you interested in finding giant viruses, virophages, and PLVs inside your metagenomes? Struggling to figure out an easy way to do so? Look no further than BEREN, a one-stop-shop tool for recovery, taxonomy, and annotation of these viruses. https://t.co/OMCDlAGXcT

Delighted to share the latest from the GBMF-supported project on sustainable oyster aquaculture. @bsuther7 and Tim Green led the development of an amplicon panel for high-throughput and low-cost genotyping of Pacific oyster https://t.co/rGpOQnT4MH. Pretty sweet to get the cover!

In freshly settled oyster spat, some cohorts experienced massive mortality, but microbial composition was strongly affected by age, not by cohort mortality https://t.co/JjyN9ZO61Z Authors: @Choannaflgllate @JanFinke5 @kevinzhong2006
RESEARCH: The core microbiome of cultured Pacific oyster spat is affected by age but not mortality. Senior author: Dr. Curtis Suttle @Virosphere2012 @UBCMicroImmuno @UBCeoas. https://t.co/N7c4l4AoN1 via @ASMicrobiology

Our #PacificOyster amplicon panel paper is out now in @GeneticsGSA's G3 Journal! Now with new visualizations, an additional test dataset, and improved panel performance after removing pop-specific null alleles. Advanced release here 👇 https://t.co/66nQV9vPZh
We're really excited about this new tool for Pacific #oyster 🦪🧬! It is clear that the Pacific salmon 🐟🧬 research community and applications really benefit from high-throughput amplicon panels -- and we decided to develop a ~550 marker amplicon panel for Pacific oyster with

Why is pride so important? Here’s a couple of entries from my personal diaries from 25 years ago. Then I was completely isolated and afraid- tbh it’s a miracle I survived. I will do everything to support others like me, lest they experience the same. I got your back. Happy pride!

Thanks for sharing the good news. Now we need more scholarships, which directly creates HQP and fuels research productivity
Budget win for @SupportOurSci ence —after 20 years of scholarship stagnation the government has finally agreed to allow our best and brightest grad students to live at or above the poverty line!

How many SAR11 cells are phage-infected in the environment? And what are zombies🧟♂️? We studied phage infection in SAR11 using the🔬. Up to 19% of SAR11 cells were phage infected and many host cells were devoid of ribosomes🧟♂️! What else did we find? A 🧵 https://t.co/Q4MT2J2aQc

very cool - the topic of our lab meeting today 👍
Do endogenous virophages protect their protist hosts from giant viruses? For the marine heterotrophic flagellate Cafeteria sp., it very much seems so. Congrats to Anna Koslová, @th4ckl and co-workers at @mpi_mr_hd on a new study published in @PNASNews ! https://t.co/9HsH0FlnsI

Great work led by @kevinzhong2006 and the scientific team @HakaiInstitute, with contributions by @JanFinke5 and many others. Stay tuned for more results!
Hot off the press! https://t.co/lR7TzyFqFv. Our experiment reveals a fascinating duality: Pacific oyster spat microbiomes are resilient to ocean acidification yet vulnerable to rising temperatures, a new insight on how #ClimateChange may impact on oyster spat microbiomes.
