Nice work from @sharonhuws @CreeveyLab Phylogenetic systematics of Butyrivibrio & Pseudobutyrivibrio genomes illustrate vast taxonomic diversity,open genomes and an abundance of carbohydrate-active enzyme family isoforms microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa… #MGen #PublishingForTheCommunity
Late breaking PhD opportunity in @CreeveyLab on metagenomic analysis of microbial ecology and evolution in early life of ruminants. w. @sharonhuws @kattheodoridou Please share! Sept 18 deadline! @QUBIGFS @QUBbioscience @RMG_network findaphd.com/phds/project/i…
Suddenly interested in viruses? Well how about rumen viruses? Just out, a really nice review paper I had the privilege to be involved in, with @LifeIsDifficile @tcahitch @ThePopeLab and others on this topic frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… @QUBIGFS @QUBbioscience @QUBelfast @RMG_network
Seeing as how viruses are all the rage right now, how about reading about the different ways to study these tiny yet significant things in cows and sheep? #virus #notatweetaboutcovid frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
Calling Bioinformaticians/Computational Biologists! We will host the annual VIBE meeting here @QUBelfast April 3rd with a mix of PI, postdoc & PhD student talks & posters. A great way to meet your community. Free reg. here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/vibe2020-tic… Abstract deadline Mar 16th.
amply.systems are working to reduce #antibioticresistance by finding novel #antibiotics in ANY biological data. They want to speak to contacts in #animalhealth as part of their customer discovery @flwrs4algrnon @Hairy_Llama @CreeveyLab #leanlaunch #icurenxnw #startups
Two #microbiome #PhD positions open in my group, one guaranteed funded (findaphd.com/phds/project/w…) and one competitively funded (findaphd.com/phds/project/f…) Please share with any students who might be interested in this area! @CreeveyLab #jobfairy

On the ferry on our way to #SMBE2019 Manchester! Thanks to @OfficialSMBE for supporting me to come to this meeting with my little one! I’ll be showing my work on poison frog gut microbiome, look me up! See you soon! #WomenInSTEM
Plants have been elements in games throughout history. How are they represented in modern #boardgames? #PlantBlindness Find out with @flwrs4algrnon, @LifeIsDifficile, @Hairy_Llama et al.: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pp… @ibers_aber @QUBIGFS @CreeveyLab
Great talk by @LifeIsDifficile today about her work on Hyper ammonia producers (HAPs) from the rumen. She even got an appreciative groan from the audience for her “HAPpy” puns! :) @CreeveyLab @ibers_aber @QUBIGFS
@CreeveyLab is well represented at #Microbio19 in Belfast. @nickdimonaco and @telmatobita with posters (A043 & A176 respectively in tomorrows poster session) & @LifeIsDifficile & @flwrs4algrnon with talks (Tuesday and Thursday). Come along and say Hi! 👋 @MicrobioSoc
Latest paper from the group.
Funded PhD project available in my group @QUBIGFS @QUBelfast on the microbial ecology of vertebrate gut microbiomes. Open to students with biology/computer/bioinformatic backgrounds. Deadline Nov 5th for January Start. Please share! findaphd.com/search/Project… @CreeveyLab #PhDfunding
Wonderful paper by Wang et al. (biorxiv.org/content/early/…) showing how divergence of anaerobic gut fungi coincided with radiation of grasses and evolution of mammalian herbivory. Some intriguing horizontal gene transfer events also identified @AnaerobicFungi
