Very happy to announce that our new preprint is available on bioRxiv (doi.org/10.1101/2025... ). This study has been years in the making, and is the first to use metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics to understand fibre fermentation in the chicken gut.

Background The sustainability of poultry farming faces significant challenges due to rising feed costs and competition with human food sources. Dietary fibre offers a promising, cost-effective alterna...

Our new preprint characterizing the red grouse microbiota for the first time using metagenomics: doi.org/10.1101/2025.... The red grouse microbiota is really interesting, as these birds rely on a very high fibre plant species (heather) for the majority of their diet. #microbiota

New preprint! I will try to keep this summary lay-friendly. Recently a viral outbreak started in Cyprus with an unusually high number of cats showing clinical signs of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), and it is estimated that over 8000 cats had died by mid-July. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
