Congrats to @CMR_QUT PhD student @AChklovskii and the rest of the research team on their recent Nature Methods paper! The study describes CheckM2, an improved method of assessing the quality of microbial genomes using machine learning. rdcu.be/dhUnm
The Tyson lab presents CheckM2, which leverages machine learning for improved estimation of completeness and contamination of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) generated using metagenomics data.

An exciting new opportunity for @CMR_QUT, Gene Tyson and @S_J_Mc - studying methane emissions from Arctic lake sediments which are important for our global climate ❄️
Congratulations to @RuthVarner1 for leading this study!
#QUT #CMR #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis
In a warming climate, how do lake sediments in the Arctic serve as gatekeepers of greenhouse gas emissions? With a $3.5M @ENERGY grant, @RuthVarner1 leads a new research project to find out.
