Sorry we don't have any

This is probably my last piece of work from my @medresfdn.bsky.social funded PhD at @uniofnottingham.bsky.social (thanks for all the support over the years!). Contributions from @milja001.bsky.social @evelienadri.bsky.social (and many others not yet on Bluesky) 13/13

The dairy cow gut virome is a dynamic ecosystem that could be an under-studied player in sustainable agriculture 🔑

1,338 vOTUs were predicted complete. @milja001.bsky.social and I agreed to manually inspect the annotations of every single one. I started at the top, he started at the bottom (I think he only did 50 though despite agreeing to do half 💁‍♂️). All of them looked viral in origin, and most were novel 4/13

We profiled the faecal virome of dairy cows across key life stages with ultra-deep Nanopore and Illumina sequencing 🐮

We recovered over 30,000 vOTUs (approximate to species), and included shallow bulk metagenomes for each sample to place the viruses within the context of their microbial hosts 3/13

Why does this matter? Dairy cows = 265 million worldwide, huge importance in food production and greenhouse gas emissions. Yet we know very little about their gut viral communities across key life stages 🐄 2/13

We agreed to meet in the middle.....you were just more efficient at getting to the middle ....😁

I'll ask Thomas . He isn't this platform . And yes it would be
