Our research institute @i2sysbio.es celebrated its 10th anniversary today. Everyone gathered in the auditorium for a well-prepared ceremony, and we even received a nice anniversary T-shirt. A perfect opportunity to take a group photo of the Microbial Single-Cell Genomics team

1/ 🎯 A therapeutic target that would curb the spread of #coronaviruses has been identified
It is an enzyme that is activated in human cells in response to stress due to infection and causes changes in the cellular machinery that favour the production and spread of coronaviruses

🔔Seminar Opportunity🔔
We're looking for (self)recommendations for a Postdoc who is working in the area of AMR (any area, any discipline) to give an online seminar in May.
Reply, DM or email me, there will more opportunities in the future as well so will be good to have a list.

Great news! I’ve been awarded a Consolidador grant from the Spanish Ministry of Science! I will soon be offering a 1-year postdoc in my lab at @i2sysbio.es. If you’re interested in microbial dark matter in industrial extreme environments and horizontal gene transfer, stay tuned.

Large-scale capsid-mediated mobilisation of bacterial genomic DNA in the gut microbiome | Nature Communications
Transducing bacteriophage and gene transfer agents (GTAs) are constrained by the structural limits of their capsids, which determine the maximum length of host DNA they can package. Here, we utilise nanopore sequencing of intact, capsid-packaged DNA molecules to recover full-length reads, thereby enabling the precise identification of encapsidated DNA and its bacterial origin. This approach was validated using well-characterised transducing systems and subsequently applied to faecal viromes from three healthy donors. Our analysis reveals that bacterial DNA encapsidation is widespread in the gut microbiome, with up to 5.4% of capsid-packaged DNA derived from bacterial genomes. Generalised transduction and GTA activity were especially prominent in Oscillospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae (e.g. Faecalibacterium spp.), while lateral transduction was observed in Bacteroides. Additionally, we detected induction of prophages in several highly prevalent gut bacterial taxa. These findings reveal th
Using nanopore sequencing, full-length capsid-packaged DNA from gut bacteria was identified, unlocking insights into GTAs and transducing bacteriophages. PMID:41593069, Nat Commun 2026, @NatureComms https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-026-68726-4 #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNA #ASHG #ESHG 🧪

This is figure 2, which shows scaled bottom-up emissions and comparison with top-down and bottom-up estimates.
Microplastic emissions into the air from land sources are estimated to be about six hundred quadrillion particles per year, which is more than 20 times larger than emissions from the oceans, according to an analysis in Nature. go.nature.com/4jWQCei

Sending babies to nursery completely reshapes their microbiomes
Socializing at a young age helps to develop greater diversity in their microbiota, according to an analysis of baby-to-baby transmission of gut bacteria.
. @nature.com NEWS: Sending babies to nursery completely reshapes their microbiomes
“Maybe in 20 years, we will find that people still need to thank their friends at day care for the microbes they got when they were there” Nicola Segata says.
