New preprint alert 🚨:
Who actually drives methane production in anoxic sediments 🧬🔥?
We point to a transcriptionally dominant 🦠clade: VadinHA17.

Again looking for (self)nominations of/by grad students and postdocs to give virtual talks (via zoom) in the fall seminar series of MSU's Thermal Biology Institute. Does >not< need to be on thermophiles. Email me!
Excited to share a preprint from my postdoc research at @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social in the @banfieldlab.bsky.social!
We surveyed soil microbiomes for autotrophy - and found it nearly everywhere, but most abundant in deep, saturated soils. Check it out below!

🚨 preprint alert! check out our new pub on an unusual summer flu outbreak among shorebirds traced with targeted metagenomic sequencing of wastewater.
more like this coming soon from our team at @wastewaterscan.bsky.social !
sample collection, filtering, extraction, sequencing of DNA or RNA using short or long-read-based approaches, the use of bioinformatic software, and more generally the computational analysis of ‘omic or amplicon data from the ocean
reach out with any questions here or via email !
🚨 preprint day for a thorough investigation of the genetic potential for chemoautotrophy in the deep northeastern pacific, led by @cometkid001.bsky.social in the @annedekas.bsky.social lab
marine micro folks: @elliearrington.bsky.social and i are guest editing an issue of JOVE (journal of visualized experiments) focusing on molecular techniques:

we're looking for abstract submissions (by april) exploring best practices in..
an essential complement to our work out last year specifically focusing on organisms with rubisco across this same transect, as well as more globally (icymi)
