Our latest work led by Mike McLaren on bioRxiv goes deep on "Implications of taxonomic bias for microbial differential-abundance analysis": biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Metagenomic sequencing is biased. When are differential abundance (DA) results still valid? #NCStateMicrobiome 1/

New preprint alert! 🚨🥳😻 When we first put out the “MWC model” paper, there was a lot of concern about how negatively impactful the problem of unequal detection efficiencies in microbiome taxonomic profiling is. A thread🧵… 1/

Any model recommended models for lab ice makers? Ours is getting ready to kick the bucket

How can we detect future pandemics? Sequencing wastewater could be promising: It allows us to monitor millions of people’s disease status at a single site. But this might require a LOT of sequencing and thus a lot of $. We estimated how much: doi.org/10.1101/2023.1… (1/6)
