I am happy to share that our review on genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) is now published in the ISME Journal 🥳
Led by my colleagues Magdalena Wutkowska and @AnneDaebeler from the Biology Centre in the Czech Republic, we advocate for the wider use of #GEMs in the study of #methanotrophs and their ecology. 🦠
Happy to see release of draft genomes of methanotrophs from pictured eutrophic fishpond in Czechia. Available in an announcement prepared by my colleagues Magda Wutkowska and @AnneDaebeler.
Our latest paper about decomposition of polypore Fomes fomentarius by bacteria AND Arthropoda is out in FEMS Microbiology Ecology 🥳
Improved recovery and annotation of genes in metagenomes through the prediction of fungal introns

"We demonstrate that SVMmycointron makes it possible to substantially increase the number of identified genes, especially in metagenomes with a high proportion of eukaryotic sequences."
Let's implement a new emoji set based on one of the figures from #IPCC Synthesis Report. One new emoji = one icon of climate change effect.
How else are you going to make millions of people aware of this?
My article about microbial aspect of deadwood decomposition is in current issue of Czech science magazine #Vesmir

It contains summary of research done mostly in temperate natural forest called Zofin in Central Europe.
To overcome cultivation bias, we used metagenome-assembled genomes to analyze microbial carbohydrate utilization patterns across diverse bacterial and archaeal phyla from several habitats like soil, marine water, engineered ecosystems and human gut. Study was published recently in mSystems.
