Great talk by Tomáš Pluskal (@pluskal-lab.org) at the #ChemBioTalks.

He presented #omics, #bioinformatic and #MachineLearning methods to predict the function of enzymes on the example of terpene synthases.

Identifying #antiphage defense systems can be challenging. This study by @duerkoplab.bsky.social describes a #bioinformatic pipeline that uses a small serine recombinase as a genetic marker to identify novel antiphage defense systems across diverse bacterial phyla.

🧬Raquel Cooper closes out our ECR talks for #MicroSeq2026 with valuable insights into reproducibility and consistency of #WGS despite years of changes in wet lab workflows, #sequencing technologies, and #bioinformatic pipelines. What a positive note to end on!
