The Biodiversity Cell Atlas nature.com/articles/s41... An international initiative to advance our understanding of life at cellular resolution. Many challenges ahead.We look forward to contributing through phylogenomics analyses and orthology predictions. @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social @csic.es INIA

The Biodiversity Cell Atlas: mapping the tree of life at cellular resolution - Nature
The Biodiversity Cell Atlas aims to create comprehensive single-cell molecular atlases across the eukaryotic tree of life, which will be phylogenetically informed, rely on high-quality genomes and use shared standards to facilitate comparisons across species.

Happy to share the Biodiversity Cell Atlas white paper, out today in @nature.com. We look at the possibilities, challenges, and potential impacts of molecularly mapping cells across the tree of life. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Spending some time in Germany at my parents' place after moving to Bio2Q / Keio University in Tokyo at the beginning of the year. Feels good to contemplate and find that's it was an awesome move. We have a few open positions at Postdoc level with lots of freedom and resources. DM if interested

If you're at @femsmicro.org & want to learn on how we're using targeted metagenomics to explore the rare microbial biosphere, don't miss Claudia's talk today at 14:10. She used a target capture long read seq. method to unveil thousands of new chemoreceptor genes from unknown low abundance spcs!

2.5 year postdoctoral vacancy in my group: buff.ly/NGi1dUn Deadline: 11th July This position is mostly about understanding gut microbial interactions with diet & the body through tracing/modelling metabolic processes. Will rely on metagenomics & machine learning, including other *omics approaches.

The rare microbial biosphere harbors many chemosensitive microorganisms undetectable by regular shotgun metagenomics. We can now explore them using our custom target-capture sequencing approach. Impressive work by Claudia Sanchis, part of her PhD thesis! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

📣 We are proud of the publication of the second paper of @bbaker24.bsky.social PhD thesis. In collaboration with friends in Halifax we have studied the difficult question of the phylogeny of the DPANN archaea, composed of several phyla of highly reduced, fast-evolving epiparasites 🧵 rdcu.be/erkkU
rdcu.be
Phylogenomic analyses indicate the archaeal superphylum DPANN originated from free-living euryarchaeal-like ancestors
Nature Microbiology - Phylogenetic reconstructions with conserved protein markers from the 11 known DPANN phyla reveal their monophyletic placement within the Euryarchaeota.

Awesome work by Ziqi Deng: TreeProfiler: a tool for large-scale metadata profiling along gene and species trees. biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Interactive dynamic visualization of large trees + custom traits, MSA, domain architectures, functional terms & more + summary of features at internal nodes

Happy to share that I'll be giving a plenary talk at VIZBI 2025 in Cambridge UK — and online — 8–11 April 2025. Mainly about how we deal with the analysis and visualization of huge phylogenies, metagenomic profiling, novel microbial functions, synteny, ETE, Treeprofiler and more! vizbi.org/2025

This is a small but very nice meeting on phylogenomics in Granada, Spain. The registration deadline has been just extended to March 3rd, and there is still room for contributed talks! Please fwd to anyone interested. I'll also be there for a few days! mceb2025.sciencesconf.org
