My first research paper of my PhD is out as a preprint (and under review)! Here we show that: 1. bacterial conjugation systems are differentially abundant between populations and 2. they are systematically excluded from metagenomic bins. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

First step in a community project to provide a uniformly assembled, annotated and searchable set of bacterial genomes, our preprint on our initial release of 1.9 million genome assemblies taxonomic estimates. (figure compares with previous 661k dataset)

Very excited to share our latest work in @MicrobiomeJ, where we take a deep dive into the #microbiome at multiple body sites in #kidneystone formers. TLDR? The microbiome plays a massive part in this disease but Oxalobacter doesn't! doi.org/10.1186/s40168-023-0…

Check out our latest pre-print on animating conjugative systems from metagenomic data for delivery of Cas9 antimicrobials. Ever wonder if metagenomic sequences are 'real'? Or how to build from scratch a 54-kb genetic element with 47 genes?

Latest pub from Edgell lab now online at NAR! academic.oup.com/nar/advance…
Awesome work from @GregP_47 & collab with @gbgloor @EmmaAllenVercoe. Thanks to @CIHR @SchulichMedDent @westernuBiochem. Want to link dCas9 activity to a metabolic pathway? Read on!

I am looking for a post-doc or a research associate with metagenomics data analysis experience to work on various clinical and translational #oncomicrobiome projects. You need to have proven experience in #microbiome metagenomics data analysis. Please RT.

SEE EVERYONE GOES ON ABOUT LONG READS MAKING BETTER MAGS BUT REALLY IT'S ALL ABOUT DNA EXTRACTION AND YOU CAN'T GET LONG DNA FROM BEAD BEATING AND IF YOU DON'T BEAD BEAT HARD ENOUGH YOU BIAS THE SAMPLE AND IF YOU SIZE SELECT YOU BIAS THE SAMPLE AND U WON'T HAVE ENOUGH DNA

How do we compare MAGs and microbial genomes with different degrees of completeness? Wonder no more! 🤔➡️🥳
Preprint out today with Pauline Trinh & David Clausen @paulinetrinh @davidandacat

Less input DNA is a positive, but only a maximum of 10kb read lengths is less than desirable.
Infinity also enables 10x greater throughput with 90% less #DNA input than legacy long reads. We anticipate an early access launch for Infinity technology in the second half of the year.

I repeat- I haven’t been this excited about a discovery since CRISPR. We found something enigmatic that, like CRISPR, is associated with microbial genomes. We have named these unique entities #BORGs

Hey! Looking for something to do on this rainy afternoon?? #GetVaxxed at #MLHU’s Pop-up COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic inside Citi Plaza (Southeast Corner of Clarence and King St).
Just walk-in and get your first or second dose. No appointment necessary! #LdnOnt #Middlesex
