Genomic recovery from rare terrestrial microbes enabled by DNA-based GC-fractionation
Abstract. Genome reconstruction from metagenomic samples has dramatically increased our understanding of uncultivated lineages of life. However, untargeted

Excited to share our new paper in @ISMEComms on recovering genomes from low-abundance microbes using GC-fractionation🦠

There's a PhD position now available with me in Bath, on the evolution of symbiosis. www.findaphd.com/phds/project.... The supervisory team also includes @anja1.bsky.social @phil-donoghue.bsky.social and others. NB, this is open both to UK-based students *and* to international students :)

NEW Publication!😄
Here, we show how #PhyKIT — a broadly applicable toolkit for #phylogenomics — can be used to construct phylogenomic data matrices (& quantify biases therein), detect anomalies in predicted orthology, calculate gene-gene coevolution, & more!
