Are you frustrated by the limited #MassSpec data available for #botanical #naturalproducts ?

Let's fix this!

#LEAFBot is a phytochemical MS2 database in GNPS - UC San Diego created by 🌿 Kellogg Research Group 🍄 and #Cechlab . We are accepting additions.

Learn more at poster #001 Sunday #ASP2023 .

Wouldn't it be nice to do complex #NatualProducts #GenomeMining analyses on large datasets with hundreds or thousands of genomes? With #BGCFlow , we may have a solution for you: academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar… [1/4]

Thanks for the superb hospitality! Was great to catch up with you, your team and your colleagues!

Great to see Elena Del Pup & Rosina participating in the mzmine #workshop taking place in Prague this week! We also have Niek de Jonge there to explain #matchms and #MS2Query ! 😎 #CompMetabolomics #metabolomics #massspectrometry

Early train to Berlin for undoubtedly an intense and fun workshop on plant microbiomes hosted by the Max Planck Gesellschaft Max Planck Society

Interested in natural product biosynthesis? Working on tailoring enzymes but frustrated by the lack of a dedicated repository? Us too! That’s why we created MITE – the Minimum Information about a Tailoring Enzyme doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

Exciting GIM meeting in Shanghai coming up this fall: gim-mes2024.org
The website is now live and registration open.
Tilmann Weber and I will be chairing a session on AI for Biotechnology/Synthetic Biology.

Our paper on #Logomotif is out in Journal of Molecular Biology, a database for transcription factors in #Actinobacteria . Only well curated TFs included, but version 2 is in the planning. Awesome work by Hannah Augustijn with @MarnixMedema Sébastien Rigali and colleagues.

It was great fun putting this together, spearheaded by Jiayi, who is also doing amazing stuff with SynComs in the lab/greenhouse at the moment...
This paper discusses comp. design principles, with a focus on better utilizing functional traits, in feedback loops with experiments.

On the fourth day of the Lorentz Center workshop on Deciphering Microbiome Functions, Neha Garg explains how to use metabolomics to identify the roles of molecules in microbiome interactions.

We are hiring! PhD position in collaboration with WUR Host-Microbiome Interactomics and WFBR. The candidate will develop and apply machine-learning algorithms to predict substrate specificities of carbohydrate-acting enzymes from gut bacteria.
