- Reposted by Florian TrigodetReally important read for people working with long-read MAGs. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Now published in Nature Biotechnology: go.nature.com/44P7nSm If you missed it, the TL;DR is in my April thread below
- I am very happy (and anxious) to share with you our most recent work in which we evaluated four of the most popular long-read assemblers, www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... and tell you just a little bit about it in the following 🧵
- Reposted by Florian TrigodetWe have a date for the free-to-attend #anvio workshop and ECR Symposium for 2026, and we look forward to meeting you at the @hifmb.de in Oldenburg, Germany! Please find more information on the venue, program, and the application form here, and spread the word 😇 anvio.org/workshops/20...
- Reposted by Florian TrigodetI'm happy to announce the latest release of the GlobDB, available at globdb.org. The GlobDB is a database of "species dereplicated" microbial genomes, and as of release 226 contains twice the number of species-representative genomes (306,260) than the latest GTDB release.
- Reposted by Florian TrigodetWe have a new 3-year postdoc position in our group at the @hifmb.de to study plasmids and plasmids systems of the marine environment to survey their utility in microbial responses to environmental change. Please see the official job ad here, and spread the word: jobs.awi.de/Vacancies/20...

- Reposted by Florian TrigodetGenomes from long-read metagenomic assemblies contain rampant errors, highlighting the pressing need for stricter evaluation methods in long-read assembly algorithms. Read more in our paper with the Eren group. @floriantrigodet.bsky.social @merenbey.bsky.social

- With technologies such as PacBio and ONT, genome-resolved metagenomics is experiencing its second coming. Complete and circular genomes from all domains of life as well as viruses plasmids, all WITHOUT binning seem right around the corner. That is, if we can actually assemble them.
- Assemblers play a significant role turning individual reads into long genomic segments, and have tremendous implications on downstream work. Last year we were very excited to apply some of the new assemblers to our PacBio datasets from marine samples.
