🦠🔬 Viome uses a technique called Metatranscriptomics that allows us to assess the microbiome that tells us everything that the DNA does (in terms of species and composition), but also tells us about the RNA (the gene expression of the microorganisms).

Exciting day in the lab! Our @nanopore P2 solo has arrived 🎉. Perfect timing as we embark into the world of soil metatranscriptomics 🧬 🌱

The ISME Early Career Scientist Committee is glad to spotlight @michielperneel, PhD student at VIB-Ugent Center PSB & @VLIZnews, and his paper "A case for absolute gene expression estimates in microbiome studies using metatranscriptomics" https://t.co/750k526s6J (1/2)

Super proud of our PhD students! Both presented their work on hydrothermal vents from the Red Sea - Isabel is using several geochemistry approaches combined with metatranscriptomics, and Sharifa is deciphering the microbial communities and their potencial functionalities. 👏👏

After a solid 10 years of work, our paper in @NewPhyt is out! We dove into the world of fungi using metatranscriptomics to explore how ectomycorrhizal, saprotrophic, and pathogenic guilds play together (or not) in various forest soils across different biomes🍄 #JGI @INRAE_Nancy

Dr. David Price is investigating the role of lung dysfunction in Long Covid: “We’re sampling bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and transbronchial biopsies… what we plan to do is metagenomics, metatranscriptomics & RNA seq… to get some idea of the pathogenesis of LC at the site of

New #preprint alert! #Lichen symbiosis is a great conundrum: how can multiple microbes create a large, 3D, and structurally complex organism? To answer this question, we used metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and a bit of protein structure modeling 🧵1/7 https://t.co/ePnxi1VmYn

Congrats to @michielperneel on defending his PhD (@VLIZnews, @VIBLifeSciences & @ugent)! 🎓 His research reveals how plankton in the North Sea shape oxygen production and marine food webs, using metatranscriptomics to uncover their hidden daily lives. 🌊 👉 Read more

After 20 years, again in an oceanographic vessel, in the middle of the Atlantic. Sampling for metatranscriptomics, picoeukaryotic counts and grazing. A pleasure to sample again the CTD! Grateful to Pep Gasol @pepgppepgp for inviting Irene Forn and me to the MICOLOR2 cruise

It was our great pleasure to host Simon Law and Katia Taylor coming from @CSIRO Australia. Really cool research on plant microbiota assembly and crop residue management using metatranscriptomics 🌱🦠 Exciting collaborations ahead thanks to CSIRO-@INRAE_France linkage program
