- Fresh out of the oven! 🍞 We're happy to see this preprint out, fruit of a recent collaboration with @wei-biogeochem.bsky.social! 🧬💻 Small 🧵 below going through the main points 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- We leveraged #metagenomics & #metatranscriptomics data to estimate microdiversity in groundwater at different stages of U mining. We show that U in-situ leaching drives significant alterations in 🦠 community composition, oxidative stress, biogeochemical cycling, and overexpression of 🧬 repair genesAug 7, 2025 08:05
- We tracked nucleotide diversity in MAGs across different mining stages, which suggested widespread mutational pressure under long-term environmental stress!
- @alexjprobst.bsky.social @geomicrosoares.bsky.social & Till Bornemann from our group were part of this effort! Shoutout to the remainder collaborators at the China University of Geosciences, and Jon Lloyd at the University of Manchester (@manchesterup.bsky.social). @unidue.bsky.social & others RT!
