Thanks to all the users that gave feedback in the last months!
Sometimes it's not only important WHAT you sample, but HOW you do it 🌱
Our new preprint is out!
We introduce a scalable, reproducible framework for agricultural rhizosphere sampling that tackles operational definitions, pooling strategies & preservation methods head-on.

We updated our comparative genomics pipeline bacLIFE, it will now make use of BAKTA and BiG-SCAPE in addition to the newest PFAM and DBCAN database. LAGs and GCFs are now better annotated. Several other minor changes are included too. @vcarryon.bsky.social

Awesome scientific symposium this week in Granada on plant-microbe interactions. Thanks @rootbenefit.bsky.social for the opportunity to present our work on using machine learning to find microbes that alleviate salt stress.
Very proud to share our new paper led by Mathias Brands from my team at @UniCologne! With Markus Pauly team @HHU. Host-adapted enzymatic deconstruction of acetylated xylan limits immune activation and facilitates mutualistic colonization of monocot roots: Molecular Plant www.cell.com/molecular-pl...
This is a really thoughtful and interesting article on our current #PeerReview system in #AcademicPublishing by Adam Mastroianni.
Absolutely worth the read. And you can then spend even more time reading the really interesting follow-up articles.
