⚡️Thrilled that #VirtualLab is published in @nature.com! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We created a team of AI agents to mirror my Stanford lab 🤖. Led by a PI agent, the AI scientists ran their own group meetings and discovered effective binders to new CoVID variants that we validated.

MetaPhlAn 4.2.2 release (initial long-read sequencing support and database update) Announcement We are pleased to share that MetaPhlAn 4.2.2 is now available, which incorporates taxonomic profiling of long-read metagenomes for the first time and includes a new version of the MetaPhl...

The new version of MetaPhlAn v4.2.2 released!

📌taxonomic profiling of long-read metagenomes for the first time
📌new version of the MetaPhlAn db (vJan25_202503) containing >21k new SGBs

Try it out & @hutlab.bsky.social and we are looking forward to your feedback!

The microbiome diversifies long- to short-chain fatty acid-derived N-acyl lipids Mass spectrometry data mining tools enabled the creation of an MS/MS spectral library containing hundreds of N-acyl lipids, including conjugates with short-chain fatty acids. This resource enabled the...

If you have ever wondered what might happen to short chain fatty acids made by the microbiome. Here is a large class of metabolites and how they link to biology. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

OPEN CALL for PhD positions in our lab through the semm_it program:

1️⃣ Microbiome signatures of early on-set colorectal cancer

Jawdropping.

You would expect this in a dictatorship, not the United States.

This country is unrecognizable.

The projected cuts to PEPFAR and USAID will result in thousands of aviodable deaths world-wide. The US has led the world in helping the vulnerable under both Republican and Democratic leadership. Please write your elected leaders to support PEPFAR and USAID. 5CALLS.org makes it easy.

The End of Programming as We Know It

I just wrote a piece on why I think the chatter about AI putting programmers out of work is wrong. Every time it gets easier to tell computers what we want them to do, it brings more people into the fold and unleashes a wave of creativity and creative destruction. That reads like opportunity to me.

Fecal microbiota transplantation alters the proteomic landscape of inflammation in HIV: identifying bacterial drivers - Microbiome Background Despite effective antiretroviral therapy, people with HIV (PWH) experience persistent systemic inflammation and increased morbidity and mortality. Modulating the gut microbiome through feca...

Thanks @cladigar.bsky.social for a great talk and sharing your findings!

TODAY: We are looking forward to discussing with you the latest #microbiome findings!

cold email

email responding

This week I received a very nice cold email (sharing it w/😀's permission)

😀asked:
What does your daily work involve?
What skills do you think are most important ... to pursue this path?
What do you enjoy most about your work as a microbiome scientist?

What would you answer?

@serranovillar.bsky.social should definitely give his views 😁

We've completed a 3-year field study on scientific poster design. But poster science doesn't really fit into an established journal.

This is why I started my own journal with @Curvenote.com. Niche research, published for impact, with public peer review.

Freshly landed here, my first sci-bluesky-tutorial!

We just published this study in #Microbiome

📢The microbiome is a potential therapeutic target to mitigate inflammation-related complications in people with #HIV

Coffee consumption is associated with intestinal Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus abundance and prevalence across multiple cohorts - Nature Microbiology Coffee consumption is associated with the presence and abundance of a specific member of the human gut microbiome, Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus, and changes to the plasma metabolome.

🥁 New Publication Alert:

Our manuscript on the ☕️ and #microbiome relationship is out in #NatureMicrobiology:

¡100% de acuerdo!

Habría que reformular por completo cómo enseñamos estadística. Lo ideal sería empezar por enseñar lo que son las regresiones, y a partir de allí enseñar el resto de técnicas o pruebas estadísticas y explicar cómo todas son simples modelos de regresión.

That's a wrap for #MVIF #33 in Atlantic zone

THANK YOU to #microbiome people who tuned in & all the amazing speakers!
