Nature research paper: Long-read metagenomics reveals phage dynamics in the human gut microbiome
go.nature.com/44zgo1o
Complex prophage integration dynamics, including low-level induction, cross-family host range and transposase-mediated mobilization, challenge existing paradigms and deepen our understanding of phage–bacterial interactions in the human gut microbiome.
Our review on the Japanese gut microbiome is now published!
By analyzing >30,000 gut metagenomes from 37 countries🧬, we re-evaluated the unique feature of the Japanese gut microbiome🦠 in a global context🌏.

Metagenomics has become a powerful approach for deciphering the structure and function of the human gut microbiome, a complex microbial ecosystem in t …
Abstract. Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth, yet their global diversity remains largely unexplored. Here, we present VIRE, a compr
FoldMason is out now in @science.org. It generates accurate multiple structure alignments for thousands of protein structures in seconds. Great work by Cameron L. M. Gilchrist and @milot.bsky.social.

Protein structure is conserved beyond sequence, making multiple structural alignment (MSTA) essential for analyzing distantly related proteins. Computational prediction methods have vastly extended ou...
Mushuvirus is the most widespread phage genus in the human gut. 🌍
Together with other family members, these viruses occur in 89% of humans worldwide, including the Iceman Ötzi!
How is it possible that they were hidden in previous metagenomic analyses?

Excited to share our review relating to the giant extrachromosomal elements (ECEs)
We cover: why long-read metagenomics enables their discovery, genomic comparisons across recently characterized examples, and limitations of current classification tools.

Prokaryotes harbor a diverse spectrum of extrachromosomal elements (ECEs), which are
intracellular replicons maintained independently of the primary chromosome. Historically,

Our method, savont, for generating amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) for long-read amplicons is now on bioRxiv.
Work with @lh3lh3.bsky.social and help from @mkddueholm.bsky.social and team (Marie Riisgaard-Jensen, @kirk3gaard.bsky.social, Kasper Skytte Andersen)

Announcing a new tool for "denoising" long-read amplicon sequences: savont.
Savont enables amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) directly from nanopore (or HiFi) long reads. Tested on 16S nanopore amplicons -- seems to work okay.

Preprint out for myloasm, our new nanopore / HiFi metagenome assembler!
Nanopore's getting accurate, but
1. Can this lead to better metagenome assemblies?
2. How, algorithmically, to leverage them?
