Researchers in low & middle-income countries face major challenges when conducting #omics research. What hurdles do we need to overcome? How do we do it? How do we make research fair and equitable?

See our latest paper in Nature Biotechnology to understand these barriers and enablers: rdcu.be/dK4Hb
Barriers and enablers to the effective implementation of omics research in low- and middle-income countries
Nature Biotechnology - Addressing the hurdles and opportunities associated with omics research in low- and middle-income countries may inform strategies for its effective execution, and thus...

Here is a second bleetorial about a paper we recently preprinted. Here @shipei-xing.bsky.social wanted to find a solution to be able to re-use data in the public domain with MS1 data only - LC-MS and imaging mass spectrometry data. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Annotating full-scan MS data using tandem MS libraries
Full-scan mass spectrometry (MS) data from both liquid chromatography (LC) and MS imaging capture multiple ion forms, including their in-source fragments. Here we leverage such fragments to structural...

Enjoying this deep dive into the link between coffee and the microbiome

They found a microbe (Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus) that is 4- to 8-fold more abundant in coffee drinkers, and correlates with coffee intake in worldwide populations

Coffee consumption is associated with intestinal Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus abundance and prevalence across multiple cohorts - Nature Microbiology
Coffee consumption is associated with the presence and abundance of a specific member of the human gut microbiome, Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus, and changes to the plasma metabolome.
