Have you ever thought of doing a sabbatical at EMBL? It’s a great opportunity for scientific exchange and growth, and for learning advanced technologies and top-notch science! Three scientists shared their experiences on their research visits at EMBL. 👇 https://t.co/2n6B6bfSQ0

If you're a a master's student studying at a French university interested in these we're a possible host group -- send me an email to discuss

A mere six years after its first release, SKA is now published https://t.co/vtJGt98ged

This is exactly the kind of thing we wanted to happen!

This neat paper about rapid evolution of bacterial transformation rate by @eprocha @labXC & co takes some of its inspiration from an earlier @PLOSBiology paper by Nick Croucher & @ChristoPhraser:

Daria Frolova's paper in plasmid relatedness now out in MGen! She uses rearrangement distances & shared seq content to build a relatedness network of plasmids, identifies hubs which are likely transposons, and then clusters related plasmids. https://t.co/fG0GCYqKZO @MicrobioSoc

Happy to announce that our (me and @YunWilliamYu) metagenome profiler sylph ( https://t.co/WGX3W1yOjT) is now published in @NatureBiotech! 1/5

Extension to ska 'skalo' -- using local assembly to recover indels and MNPs where split k-mers mismatch https://t.co/I4tilmrq3U We hope to integrate this into the main ska package in future too

I'm looking for a know fusion signature in a graph that contains annotated human transcripts (from Refseq) and samples, including prone to fusion (human carcinoma samples).

There is still time to register for our SMBE satellite meeting on pangenomes and transmission in Tokyo (until 31st October) See our website for more details, and now a provisional schedule too! https://t.co/HnKRbshoVD

Also now old Celebrimbor is a big name in rings of power s2 maybe our backronym will finally land

Now published in bioinformatics, CELEBRIMBOR 'pangenomes from metagenomes' https://t.co/L7FL5fekfe I think reviewer comments helped make it better, so worth another look (at fig 1 particularly!)

Sam has then wrapped it all up in a nice snakemake pipeline CELEBRIMBOR (Core ELEment Bias Removal In Metagenome Binned ORthologs) which lets you go from MAGs to pangenome https://t.co/c3BZprY94E

📢 Only a week left to submit your abstract for #EMBLInfectionBiology 🦠 The event is a platform for late-stage postdoctoral scientists in infection biology to connect with the leading European institutions in the field. It is fully virtual for the ease of access 💻 Discuss

A reminder that abstract submission for the SMBE satellite meeting on pathogen pangenomes and transmission closes soon (8th September, a short extension). See: https://t.co/HnKRbshoVD

I have written up some new notes in the intermediate programming course on parallel programming, which are available here: https://t.co/SIdrMS8Rhn The main intro and advanced examples are in rust, but I've also added two independent sections covering python and R.

I was excited by a preprint on 'PanMAN' by @yatishturakhia and co, here's a mini-review on my initial thoughts and how it might apply to bacteria: https://t.co/q1vUKwAM57

🌞🌞🌞Job alert ‼️ We have not one but two positions available with me in @IneosOxford @OxfordBiology. More details here: https://t.co/nAW2DFaszm If you're interested, get in touch. Please share/RT #AMR

Josie Bryant (@Josie_M_B) and I have a 3yr joint postdoc project at Sanger & EBI (ESPOD) Topic: Developing new bioinformatic and modelling approaches for exciting new longitudinal microbiome datasets Project details: https://t.co/MY9SaO8x33 To apply:

Today in @ScienceMagazine, we report how a bacteria has evolved into a major human pathogen over the last 200 years. Read on, this is going to be an adventurous ride 1/n!
