Well done Jonathan et al. Another fantastic APC Microbiome Ireland output 👏👏

PHYLOPIC 2.0 IS OFFICIALLY RELEASED! Go check out the newer, faster, more useful PhyloPic here: phylopic.org

After a lot of work, it's finally out: rdcu.be/c5xgq 🥳. Profiling the gut microbiome with gutSMASH shows mechanistic differences at the taxa level among other findings. Great team effort: Marnix Medema , Jingyuan Fu, Michael Fischbach , Lianmin Chen, Hannah Augustijn 👏

The Antibiotic Resistant Pathogens Data Initiative multi-omics resource is now published! A wonderful collaboration supporting discovery and translational research to tackle the global challenge in the rise of antimicrobial resistance (1/3) #NCRISimpact nature.com/articles/s4146…

Fantastic new publication from the #MicrobeMom team ‘Detailed mapping of Bifidobacterium strain transmission from mother to infant via a dual culture-based and metagenomic approach’.

Excited to see our phenogenomics study of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia published in eLife. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…. With Abdou Hachani Romain Guérillot Tim Stinear Benjamin Howden Ruth Massey Pidot Lab Calum Walsh 🇮🇪🇦🇺 Hayley Newton Doherty Institute. 1/

Think you know already know everything about beta-lactam resistance in Staphylococcus aureus? Think twice! In my commentary in #AACJournal I describe the hidden side of oxacillin resistance ASM journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/aa…

We have an ingenious mechanism to detect living & growing microbes; our MR1 protein binds to microbial metabolites and displays these to T cells to rapidly kick off immunity. Here we share what we have learned about the MR1 microbe monitor rdcu.be/dnl69 Nature Rev Immunol

Happy to share our new paper out today on WalKR; the only essential two-component system in S. aureus. We found that WalKR is at the heart of cell growth, linking cell wall turnover to initiation of DNA replication and other essential processes. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb… (1/5)

Congratulations to Conor Feehily, Ian O’Neill and Calum Walsh who won the 2023 APC Scientific Excellence Post Doc /Fellow Award Collected on their behalf by PI Prof Paul Cotter

Great work Sai Ravi Chandra Nori et al. Profiling of vaginal Lactobacillus jensenii isolated from preterm and full-term pregnancies reveals strain-specific factors relating to host interaction - go.shr.lc/3R0AhqE

Fantastic to see this work now published. Well done Sai Ravi Chandra Nori Fionnuala McAuliffe NMH & UCD DvS Research Group Calum Walsh 🇮🇪🇦🇺 and Conor Feehily Teagasc APC Microbiome Ireland #preterm #vaginal #microbiome #jensenii 1/2

Well done Sai Ravi Chandra Nori who just presented some of his PhD research at #Microbiome24 on the vaginal microbiome. #proudsupervisor

Looking forward to hearing Calum Walsh 🇮🇪🇦🇺 present his work on Bifidobacterium and the infant microbiome at the new Australasian Human Microbiome Research Network Journal Club event 🦠🖥️🧫🍼 Pls join/disseminate if interested!

Don't use Sci-Hub — it's a "controversial" website with 84M+ research papers freely available. We should try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer. Here's an updated thread on integrating Sci-Hub with Zotero to get free papers. Please don't do this😉

Code and additional details on GitHub (cazzlewazzle89/GROND). Databases on Zenodo (zenodo.org/records/108890…) also contain per-taxon information on intra-genomic RRN sequence diversity, RRN copy number, and source genome size. Useful for normalisation.
