Elegant technique from @BenjaminGrodner using molecular barcoding to visualize mobile DNA transfer - many applications to microbiome studies, bacterial genetics, and basic biofilm microbiology. Also - beautiful images. #HavingIMPACTT2023 @IMPACTT_Canada biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Very excited to see our work on large-scale integration of skeletal muscle #scRNAseq data (now >365k cells/nuclei) finally published! Here's a quick thread on updates since our preprint last December... #myotwitter nature.com/articles/s42003-0…

In his #MBM21 presentation, recent #MontanaState PhD graduate Reha Abbasi explored 3D printing when exploring cell-to-cell interactions in biofilms, antimicrobial resistance, and byproduct efficiency. #CBEfirst #WilkingLab
And, Michael Wang's paper is now also published! 🥳🎉If you are interested in single-cell genomics please go check it out. Michael developed a tool to perform single-cell analyses without the need for a comprehensive genome annotation. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Breaking from our normal focus on bacterial functions, my postdoc @SandraAriassu presents compelling ideas for how the biophysical forces of mucus contribute to biofilm formation in the gut. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… @CornellBME

Most are familiar with "liquid biopsy" for #cancer. That for covid, not so much. First report here using methylation of cell-free DNA to organ specific injury, level of cf-DNA correlates w/ disease progression cell.com/med/fulltext/S2666-… @MedCellPress @DeVlaminckLab @cfDNAlex

Excited to share our new preprint! We integrated 100+ single-cell/nucleus RNAseq datasets (23 new!) to explore rare cell states in myogenesis. ~350k cells/nuclei and the first spatial RNAseq data in regenerating muscle! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

As an academic, I work at an "institute of higher education" not an "institute of higher publication." Research and publications are important. But, even more important is teaching students and mentoring researchers. We need a reward structure that reflects those priorities.

Really excited to see this project out on @biorxivpreprint! We've had lots of discussion about feature assignment and applications for annotation-free scRNAseq analysis. Great work from Michael and a fun collab between @DeVlaminckLab and @charlesdanko! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Happy to share our latest preprint in which we report a liquid biopsy for COVID-19. We developed a blood test to broadly quantify cell, tissue, and organ specific injury due to COVID-19. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
