My first #ICRS2026 @icrs.bsky.social: so glad to share what we've been working on in the areas of coral hologenomics and Symbiodiniaceae genomics. It's been an exciting, productive meeting with wonderful people! Tagging @hisatakeishida.bsky.social here for his excellent talk. Go k-mers!

It's out! Excited to present the Great Barrier Reef Microbial Genomes Database (GBR-MGD), a comprehensive DB of 1000s of high-quality prokaryote, virus, plasmid, and chromosome-level eukaryote MAGs using Nanopore long reads. Subthreads incoming. Please share widely. 🙂 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New work led by @stevenjrobbins.bsky.social @markoterzin.bsky.social finally published - we now have a reference of microbial genomic resources from the Great Barrier Reef. The paper came out just hours after the work presented by Marko at #ICRS2026 @icrs.bsky.social See thread here for more detail
