Ryan Cook taking on some of the great phage bioinformatics issues of our time, from unaddressed contamination to sequencing platforms and improving assembly accuracy. Next VoM he’ll probably be debuting a tool called PheedingTheHungry! #VoM2024

Outstanding bioinformatics session at #VoM2024! Madly noting all the tools to try thanks to Vijini Mallawaarachchi, Ryan Cook, Richard Allen White III, PhD and Rob Edwards 🙌

Looking down under on Klebsiella phage-host interactions using massively parallel transposon mutagenesis with Evelien Adriaenssens (she/her) Quadram Institute #VoM2024 Cairns, Australia 🇦🇺

Looking forward to presenting PhageLand Project this afternoon at the #VoM2024 conference! If you’re interested in phage based bioremediation of wastewater come and see me at poster 34 💧

Had some very interesting chats with delegates at Viruses of Microbes 2024 during the poster session! If anyone would still like to hear about the PhageLand Project project then I’ll be hanging around my poster at the next coffee break too ☕️😁 #VoM2024

So ends an absolutely fantastic #VoM2024. Organisers absolutely smashed it Viruses of Microbes 2024 🇦🇺. - content ✅ - location ✅ - delegation ✅ UK contingent had a whale of a time. 🇬🇧 Going home tired but inspired and energised to apply the learnings to ongoing research! 🥼🦠💻

Had an amazing time in Cairns at Viruses of Microbes 2024 with the Evelien Adriaenssens (she/her) team. Thanks to everyone for making it such a wonderful week. Nice to see some familiar faces and meet great people. See you all in 2026! 🦠 Ryan Cook Hannah Pye Deus Kamya Greg Young Rui Santos Jasmine

With Ryan Cook we have updated Phage genomes we can find in Genbank. millardlab.org/home/bacteriop…

Big up tick this month. We think because of entries that are only predictions, but not phage. Need to further curate, but haven't had time as of yet. Any that aren't phage, accessions on Ryan's GitHub page and we will add to exclude list github.com/RyanCook94

ISME attendees! As a late add to the #isme19 Protists session, i'll be talking about our work sequencing microbes from the Great Barrier Reef. Using Oxford Nanopore, we can consistently recover circular MAGs from prokaryotes (e.g. Pelagibacter), HQ viruses, & complete T2T euk genomes.

Have you seen our latest review paper on metagenomic binning methods? If not go check it out. 😊 We review not only binning methods but also bin-refinement, visualisation, and evaluation tools used in metagenomic studies. 🧬 (1/n) #Metagenomics #Binning #Bioinformatics

taxmyPHAGE: Automated taxonomy of dsDNA phage genomes at the genus and species biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_micrbio

Get rapid taxonomy for your dsDNA phage, at the genus/species level . From Thomas Sicheritz-Pontén Remi Denise . Dann Turner , me , and others not on twitter

First parallel session of #ISME19 about to kick off in Auditorium 2, co-chaired by Hall Lab . Come and learn about microbiome dynamics to improve health!

🆕 Blog! Ahead of #WorldWaterWeek we speak to Dr Hannah Pye about an international project PhageLand Project testing the potential of bacteriophages to treat wastewater sustainably in constructed wetlands 💧 buff.ly/472obVQ

Massive congratulations to Maria Solsona for passing her viva today! And huge thanks to Andrew Edwards and Matt Gilmour for examining

We (Ryan Cook ) have updated number of genomes in INPHARED database millardlab.org/bacteriophage-… . Removing a large number of genomes that aren't complete, or incorrectly labeled as isolates. Thanks to all those that helped flag them

Levelling off is as the result of a cleanup . We also ran all new genomes for this month through ptax.ku.dk . To identify what genus species they are millardlab.org/2024/09/03/rap… Lots of putative new Genera

Join us at the Quadram Institute heritage open day. Come to our exhibition to learn about our #MECFS research
