We are looking for a #Postdoc (f/m/x) as of 1 Feb 2024, for a project using #metagenomics to follow microbial colonization and antibiotics gene transmission between prokaryotes and microeukaryotes (#fungi and #protists) on #microplastics > https://karriere-igb.softgarden.io/job/37216012/Postdoc-position-in-microbial-OMICS-and-microplastics-fixed-term-for-36-months-m-f-x-?jobDbPVId=97498273&l=de


2) #Metagenomics is now maturing to a point where large-scale worldwide meta-analyses become possible, with enough public data to study rare species in broad contexts. This is possible only if the raw data and, above all, the associated #metadata are public and accessible.

So please, do not keep the metadata behind closed doors, and adopt an #openscience policy whenever possible 😀

From Jing Wang et al. at Sun Yat-sen University, this is a new Nature Communications publication describing the virome of 149 bats collected in Yunan Provinde from 2015-2019. A metagenomic assembly produced contigs from 55 different mammal-associated viral species, including 5 similar to known human or livestock pathogens, including 2 Sarbecoviruses, with evidence of recombination.

Blooms of #Cyanobacteria pose a significant threat to #freshwater systems including rivers driving both #eutrophication and its dire implications for freshwater species as oxygen availability plummets and also the additional threat posed by #cyanotoxins produced by some Cyanobacteria.

This new research in Scientific Reports takes a #metagenomics and Q-PCR approach to explore the composition of the Cyanobacterial populations and their cyanotoxin production gene in major rivers across the United States (in 2019) and identifies Microcystis as the key toxin producing genus across this study.

We are all too familiar with the all-too-often catastrophic impacts of #COVID19 #infection on human #health.

This fascinating new #metagenomics research in mBio explores a potentially important and intriguing link between the presence and relative abundance of different functional guilds present in the human gut #microbiome (including short chain fatty acid biosynthesis and virulence functions) and disease severity and outcomes resulting from the virus. Clearly a subject for future extended studies to explore potential increases in severity due to infection and exacerbated or mitigated by differences in gut microbiomes.
