Explaining in simple terms the two main results achieved by our #metagenomic classifier #Slacken - scaling independently of RAM, and sample-tailored libraries. https://jnpsolutions.io/2025/07/03/slacken-published.html

Slacken paper published in NAR Genomics and Bioinformatics

Our paper on Slacken, a metagenomic classifier based on the Kraken 2 method, was recently published in NAR Genomics and Bioinformatics. In this post I (Johan) would like to break down the main results and what they might mean for Kraken 2 users and microbiologists in a simple way.

Ancient DNA reveals 6,000 years of the lives of Antarctic penguins

Analysis of sedimentary ancient DNA has illuminated 6,000 years of the lives of Adélie penguin colonies on Antarctica's Ross Sea coast, showing how animals in the region responded to climate and environmental change events over millennia.

#VirID: Beyond Virus #Discovery - An Integrated #Platform for Comprehensive #RNA #Virus Characterization, BioRxIV: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.07.05.602175v2

We developed VirID, a #software tool specifically designed for discovery & characterization of RNA viruses from #metagenomic data. Basis of VirID is a comprehensive RNA-dependent RNA #polymerase (RdRP) database to enhance a workflow that includes RNA virus discovery, phylogenetic analysis, and phylogeny-based virus characterization.

Great to be involved in this lovely Water Research paper led by the brilliant Maggie Knight at Bangor University! The paper compares the pros and cons of #qPCR vs #metagenomic approaches for detecting antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater. The comprehensive dataset used in the study was from the the widespread Wales wastewater monitoring. Personally, I'm team metagenomic!
