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!

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...

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

Pre-registration is now open for our second (free) course on phylogenomic data analysis and visualization using ETE, funded by @cziscience.bsky.social First time to cover new ETE4 features: Interactive viz of huge tree, profiling... In Madrid, April 21-25. Travel fellowships available!

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
