🌍 Discover the microbial world!
Our new preprint introduces MicrobeAtlas (www.microbeatlas.org), a tool and web-interface to map and visualize global microbial diversity. Explore millions of microbiomes - open, interactive, and designed for discovery.

microbeAtlas
The aggregated analysis of a large set of metagenomic sequenced samples enables the accumulation of information on the typical abundances and environments in which unknown or poorly studied microbial taxa are present. This provides a first line of information on the types of environments unknown microbial taxa are often found in and enables the inference of their abilities.

We are excited to announce that tidypopgen – a new package for rapid population genetic workflows in R – is now available at evolecolgroup.github.io/tidypopgen/ 🧬💻 Read more in the preprint describing its features here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #popgen #Rpackage #genetics 1/2
Tidy Population Genetics
We provide a tidy grammar of population genetics, facilitating the manipulation and analysis of data on biallelic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). `tidypopgen` scales to very large genetic data...

we perform a global meta-analysis of 13,209 global change factors in experimental observations across the world’s land ecosystems to quantify plant (biomass and diversity) and soil biota (biomass, diversity, and abundances) responses to GCFs in different biomes www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Decoupled responses of plants and soil biota to global change across the world’s land ecosystems - Nature Communications
Understanding how global changes affect both aboveground plants and belowground soil organisms is essential for preserving ecosystem functions and biodiversity. This study synthesizes extensive data, ...
