This was quite the ambitious sampling adventure that led to a beautiful data set, glad it is out in the world!

This wouldn't have been possible without the time and hands of many people! Huge congrats to everyone that made this happen!
I am happy to share that our data descriptor on the Hawaiʻi Diel Sampling is now published! 🌊🦠https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-025-06166-3

Every 1.5 hours for 48 hours, we collected ocean microbes from within and adjacent to Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi and produced a multi-omics dataset.

High-resolution sampling of microbial biomolecules provides a window into how microbes rapidly respond to environmental variability. This dataset offers metagenomes, metatranscriptomes, and high-throughput transfer RNA transcripts, as well as rich biogeochemical data and high-quality MAGs.

Stoked to see this paper out in the world!
I'm delighted our paper is out: doi.org/10.1093/isme...
With new SAR11 isolate genomes and time-series metagenomes, we reveal coastal and offshore SAR11 ecotypes, identify associated metabolic traits, and pinpoint selective gene sweeps as a likely evolutionary driver to niche partitioning. 🌊🦠
Habitat-specificity in SAR11 is associated with a few genes under high selection
Abstract. The order Pelagibacterales (SAR11) is the most abundant group of heterotrophic bacteria in the global surface ocean, where individual sublineages
