🚨Happy to share that our preprint on recommendations for virome scale studies has emerged from pre-print purgatory. Herein we outline 10 suggestions for reporting in virome studies to ensure improved clarity and reporting.

The #ViBioM2026 was everything I could have dreamt about. There are several points that made me really happy in this transitional period of my life.
💻 Virus Bioinformatics 🦠 - is the joy and food for my soul: 3 days of ongoing talks, chats, discussions - good to be back!

hand is up if it's the person's 1st time in Lithuania / Vilnius. People coming from 25 countries and 50 cities - 1st time discovered how lovely Vilnius 🇱🇹
Can't wait to meet the same and new people next year - without the fantastic attendees the event would be meh. #ViBioM2026

Forcing people back to the office backfires.
Data on >3M tech & finance workers: After return-to-office mandates, firms lose stars and struggle to attract new talent. The most likely to quit are senior, skilled, & female employees.
Flexibility is a feature of a great workplace.

I don't know if there is anyone who doesn't know what Logan project is, but if you don't: treat yourself with this thread 🧵 and most importantly updated preprint! Brilliant and exciting work by @RayanChikhi et al 🔥🤩
3 Sep 2025
🌎👩🔬 For 15 years biology has accumulated petabytes (million gigabytes) of🧬DNA sequencing data🧬 from the far reaches of our planet.🦠🍄🌵
Logan now democratizes efficient access to the world’s most comprehensive genetics dataset. Free and open.

Guess who is invited as the keynote speaker for the session on "Data Mining & Metadata Analysis"???
It is Rayan Chikhi!!!
He will introduce us to Logan. You can read the preprint here: tinyurl.com/vx4cykr7

Sharing this feels vulnerable but meaningful. 💛
In this piece for @Nature, I reflect on having 3 children during my PhD - why I’d do it all over again, but also why academia shouldn’t make it this hard for parents to thrive.🍼🎓@Momademia

I'm opening the doors to my very own microbial genomics research lab at @BCMFromtheLabs in Houston, TX. I'm looking for talented biologists to join me on this journey through sequence space. Featuring:
- Wastewater and human virome
- Phages, all of them
- Microbial epigenomes

If you like this kind of work we have a funded PhD place in the lab starting in Oct 2025 to explore antiviral innate immune responses across species. See here for details of how to apply or ask me for more info: bbsrcdtp.lifesci.cam.ac.uk/a…

New preprint from the lab describing how most poxviruses, including avipoxviruses, antagonise DNA-PK to block cGAS/STING-dependent interferon production during infection. Is this a stalemate in the molecular host/pathogen arms race?biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We're in the midst of a Computational revolution in biology, comparable to the Molecular revolution of the 70s. Baker, @demishassabis , and Jumper receiving the Nobel Prize not only recognizes their achievement, it's a coming of age for #bioinformatics. 🥳🎉

If you work with metagenomes (or metatranscriptomes), would like to explore what viruses/phages are in your datasets, but don't know where to start, we have (an) MVP for you now \o/
Really happy to see this one published, and also welcoming feedback/suggestion of improvement!

🎉 Exciting news! We've just published MVP: a Modular Viromics Pipeline 🦠✨
