The Barbell paper found ONT technical sequence in 22 of my genomes. The issues are closely linked to the linear topology of Streptomycetes, unusual to assemblers. In the >1000 genomes, I found 35 with 20-200nt ONT tech.seq. All are now corrected, soon to hit the DB. academic.oup.com/bioinformati...

Barbell reveals and resolves demultiplexing and trimming issues in Nanopore data

AbstractMotivation. Oxford Nanopore sequencing enables long-read analysis for diverse applications, but artefacts introduced by Nanopore barcoding are poor

Most microbes don't live in shaking flasks; spatial structure shapes how microbes interact and evolve at every scale, as we discuss in our recent review @jeroenmeijer.bsky.social @simonvanvliet.bsky.social @bedutilh.bsky.social @bramvandijk.bsky.social and others academic.oup.com/femsre/artic... 🧵👇

Spatial structure: shaping the ecology and evolution of microbial communities

Spatial structure naturally emerges in microbial communities, shaping growth, interactions, and evolution, and revealing how microscale processes scale up

I’m very happy this is finally out! Here, we showcase the combination of BONCAT and SIP metaproteomics to uncover rare and active microbes driving anaerobic acetate turnover. We are excited to see what other microbial metabolisms and ecosystems this approach can help to illuminate! 🦠
