Huge congratulations to @hannahtriv.bsky.social and the team on this fantastic work! 👏

Brilliant to see long-read metagenomics revealing new insights into the gut microbiome and antimicrobial resistance in advanced liver disease.

Highlights the potential role of MDR Enterococcus in cirrhosis! 🧬🦠

Delighted to share our new paper in Genome Medicine! We used long-read #metagenomics to uncover striking changes in the gut #microbiome with advanced #LiverDisease, including E. faecium dominance and #AMR

With both pipelines and a Galaxy workflow available, the developers welcome the #scRNAseq and #spatial community to use and test the pipelines, and suggest features to help shape future developments.

A new preprint introduces two standardized, end-to-end pipelines for single-cell RNA-seq and imaging-based #spatialtranscriptomics analysis.

EISCA supports droplet- and plate-based scRNA-seq, while EISTA is tailored for high-resolution spatial platforms.

#SingleCell #RNAseq

Our review on #lichen research in the #omics era is out in @lichenologist.bsky.social! We discuss omics-driven progress and outline several areas and methods that we think especially promising for lichen biology, such as single-cell omics and epigenomics

💬 “Through COPO we have spent years developing meaningful standards and tooling which properly describe research data. This multiplies its usefulness, making it comparable, reusable and trainable for the community at large."

#FAIRdata #ResearchDataManagement #biodiversity

With prerequisite materials made available, this course will take you through end-to-end the workflow for generating, processing, and interpreting long-read RNA-seq data - specifically in the context of #singlecell experiments.

🧬💻

Registration closes soon for our hands-on training course in #longread #scRNAseq, covering everything from experimental design to data interpretation with our research faculty.
