@mbhall88.bsky.social was an absolute tour de force on this project, taking something we all had little experience in (linear plasmids, and gram positive bugs!) and turning it into an exciting, novel, and detailed report on an emerging pathogen. A must read!

Every opportunity politicians provide for you to tell them about how chronic underfunding of research in Australia is affecting your particular fields, people, working conditions etc. is extremely important. Fill out the form here: lnkd.in/g8A_PAZG

One day left to abstract submission close! We have one of the most iconic Aussie birds joining us at the meeting, the bin chicken - I mean ibIS! If not at the amazing talks he will likely be at the bins behind the venue. Come register at abstract at MGEAUS.org

Three days left to abstract submission! The Willie Phage-tail spends most of its time chasing phages, which it believes is a more worthwhile endeavour than chasing insects. We agree, and if you do too you’ll probably want to register an abstract at MGEAUS.org

Excited to share “Bin Chicken”, substantially improving genome recovery through rational metagenomic assembly. Applied to public 🌍 metagenomes, it recovered 24,000 novel species 🦠, including 6 novel phyla. doi.org/10.1101/2024... @wwood @rhysnewell @CMR_QUT 🧵1/6

7 days left to abstract submission close! Today (by its insistence) we are joined by the noisy data miner! Unlike most bioinformaticians, it’s a little bit more aggressive and will scold you until you register an abstract at MGEAUS.org

8 days left to our abstract submission deadline! Today we have Plover joining us! Did you know he legally changed his name to showcase his love for Plasmids? Come join him at the MGE AUS meeting by submitting your abstract at MGEAUS.org

Only 9 days till abstract submission closes! As an Aussie-focused meeting, we've recruited some iconic birds to help promote (not spread!) MGEs 🐦, starting with our MGE MaGpiE! He'll be swooping into the MGE meeting! Register at MGEAUS.org today!
