"When I said I'd published 5 articles during my PhD, I meant stickers"
Check out my new stickers! 📄⬇️

Do you think anyone would volunteer to have their bioinformatics software critiqued by me on the OMGenomics youtube channel? I can start with my own, but it would be helpful to have more case studies to show the next cohort of academic software creators how to do better...

Hey, friendly reminder:
Every single one of you is a source of pride.
And no, it doesn’t matter what you’re doing, or how well it’s going.
You’re pushing knowledge further everyday, with everything that goes well and mostly the things that go poorly.
We’re proud of you.

There is a major lack of microbial/music parody stickers. Thankfully I'm here to change that!

New preprint out! 📢 Thread coming soon 👀 ...
🚨 Awesome paper alert!! 🚨
What good is a bacterial weapon if its genes can hop to your competitor?

MPOX update: Our @nanopore sequencing protocol/primers for #MPOX clade IIB also work for clade IB.
As this is confirmed by work performed in DRC using these primer sets by @Udahemuka1 @1986Bom @MarionKoopmans

Together with @amsterdamumc @Flahless1 @viroloog we developed a PCR tiling method for #Monkeypox using @nanopore.
Method is tested on 40 monkeypox samples in a 42 minute #NextGenPCR program.
This method is inspired by Midnight, @freed_nikki and @NetworkArtic

Representing a lot of hard work from @NininUon @DrT1973 @DeepSeqNotts @Scalene and @pathogenomenick pleased to share biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… which captures all our experience with ultra long read sequencing on @nanopore - a lot has happened since @scalene first generated ultras!

Have you seen our latest review paper on metagenomic binning methods? If not go check it out. 😊
We review not only binning methods but also bin-refinement, visualisation, and evaluation tools used in metagenomic studies. 🧬 (1/n)

SCREAMS IN MICROBIOLOGY
😬
#Paris2024 #OlympicGames
One competitor is willing to go to extreme lengths to compete in the triathlon at #Paris2024, even if he's faced with the pollution issues in the River Seine ⚠️
#Olympics #BBCOlympics
ALT Team USA triathlete Seth Rider speaks about taking part in the triathlon in the River Siene, stating, "We know that there's going to be some E. coli exposure, so I just try to increase my E. coli threshold by exposing myself to a bit of E. coli in your day-to-day life. Just little things throughout your day, like, not washing your hands after you go to the bathroom and stuff like this."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
It is a serious health issue.
The misleading suggestion that poor hygiene habits improve resistance to e-coli could adversely affect the health of people reading the post if they take up this suggestion.
Therefore a CN is needed.
