my gut microbiome:
Out now! We used exciting T-cell receptor sequences to show you can treat custom amino acid alphabets for kmers as another model parameter to optimise, giving better predictions.
In future we could diagnose chronic disease or past viral infection just from a T-cell sample!🤯

Sorry, coffee breaks where??
What is this, the Pokémon Global Trade System circa 2011?
Science stand-up is so in right now - namely, in #GlasgowScienceFestival! How many ways you can probe bowels? Why did Hamilton's rival histori-musical fail?
Find out at our special Bright Club show, Mon 8th June!

📢 Registration is now open for the first UK Virome Forum meeting!
This two-day event will bring together UK-based researchers using genomic approaches to study viromes. Whether you are investigating viral communities in soil 🌱, the human gut 🦠, or whales 🐋, this is your space!
Followed by another @vibelab.co.uk member Dr Jamie Herzig showing how to tease apart genuine 'host signatures' in viral genomes from phylogenetic signal, also with graph neural nets!
