I am very happy (and anxious) to share with you our most recent work in which we evaluated four of the most popular long-read assemblers,

and tell you just a little bit about it in the following 🧵
Assemblies of long-read metagenomes suffer from diverse errors
Genomes from metagenomes have revolutionised our understanding of microbial diversity, ecology, and evolution, propelling advances in basic science, biomedicine, and biotechnology. Assembly algorithms...

I'm happy to announce the latest release of the GlobDB, available at globdb.org.

The GlobDB is a database of "species dereplicated" microbial genomes, and as of release 226 contains twice the number of species-representative genomes (306,260) than the latest GTDB release.

We have a new 3-year postdoc position in our group at the @hifmb.de to study plasmids and plasmids systems of the marine environment to survey their utility in microbial responses to environmental change.

Please see the official job ad here, and spread the word:

Genomes from long-read metagenomic assemblies contain rampant errors, highlighting the pressing need for stricter evaluation methods in long-read assembly algorithms. Read more in our paper with the Eren group. @floriantrigodet.bsky.social @merenbey.bsky.social

Unique investigation of some errors in long read assemblers.

In particular these remarkably chimeric contigs are 😱, if rare....

Improving long read assemblers is definitely the space to be in when it comes to the future of metagenomics, as short reads won't be part of it 😉

A blog post on the #anvio workshop that took place last week at the @hifmb.de in Oldenburg with photographs and participant survey results 😇

A reminder for ECRs who are looking for an opportunity to form their own group to study contemporary questions in marine sciences in Germany with 5-years of support:
