The Laboratory of Computational Metagenomics led by @nsegata **We are hiring, get in touch if interested!** Moderator @svetlana_up
The new version of MetaPhlAn (v4.2.2) released! 📌taxonomic profiling of long-read metagenomes for the first time 📌new version of the MetaPhlAn db (vJan25_202503) containing >21k new SGBs Try it out & @hutlab and we are looking forward to your feedback! forum.biobakery.org/t/metaphlan-4-…
We're happy to welcome @narmquijada to our lab as a visiting researcher! Narciso is a researcher from @ibfg_es who investigates food microbiome and resistome as well as contributes to bioinformatics efforts in the field github.com/nmquijada

Our lab member Amir Nabinejad will be attending the @FEMSmicro conference in Milan 🇮🇹 next week. Feel free to connect or meet up at the #FEMS2025! If you miss the talk on Wednesday (details ⬇️) you can check out the poster with ID Number: wed_2.1_519_S

Looking forward to discussing #microbiome science at #EESMicrobiome!

Today I went to my daughter’s childcare to talk to the toddlers about heart health and gut microbes ❤️ They were very excited to tell me about their fav fruits and veggies Big thanks to @nsegata @cibiocm for the toy microbes 🦠🙏 @MonashVHI @heartfoundation @MonashUni
Join us at #EESMicrobiome! Organisers @microbiomix (@uni_copenhagen), Ami Bhatt (@Stanford), Peer Bork (@BorkLab) and @nsegata (@CIBIO_UniTrento) look forward to welcoming #microbiome scientists in September at @embl!

In this study just published @Nature_NPJ Biofilms & Microbiomes, we collected dental swab samples from dogs to shed light on the hardly studied dog dental plaque microbiome (1/7)
Huge congrats to @sea_andreu and the whole team! 🥳 So glad to have been a part of this exciting work that focused on the links between gut #microbial #genetic variation at the #strain level and a whole slew of host #phenotypes and geography. Read more @CellCellPress! #microbiome
Thrilled to share that our manuscript on strain-level gut microbiome variation across diverse populations and human phenotypes is out today in @CellCellPress! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Curious about how strain diversity relates to human traits? Follow this thread! 🌍 (1/n)
So grateful to have been involved in this study of >3,700 fecal samples that reveal very specific #colorectal cancer #CRC #gutMicrobiome signatures along #cancer stages and primary #tumor location! 🦠 Read more about our paper in @NatureMedicine: nature.com/articles/s4159…
Happy to share that our study on gut microbiome associations with colorectal cancer (CRC) is out in @NatureMedicine! (doi.org/10.1038/s41591…).
Great opportunity to join the international team @cibiocm for a #PhD in #metagenomics in beautiful Trento, Italy! 🌄🍝 #microbiome #cancer #CRC #transmission #phdposition #PhDChat
OPEN CALL for PhD positions in our lab through the @semm_it program: 1️⃣ Microbiome signatures of early on-set colorectal cancer 2️⃣ High-resolution computational metagenomics for the study of human microbiome transmission More info: semm.it/education/open… Apply by June 9!
🥁NEW: our latest collaboration with @prebiomics on plaque microbiome is OUT! This manuscript was the winner of the third 2025 Jaccard - EFP Prize in Periodontology. Check out 🧵⬇️
In this study just published at the Journal of Clinical Periodontology - a collaboration between @cibiocm and @prebiomics - we evaluated the microbiome of dental implants using metagenomic sequencing onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jc…
Let us introduce a new subspecies: ✨Catenibacterium mitsuokai subsp. tridentinum✨ Plus, we also propose a taxonomic reclassification of publicly available reference genomes belonging to the C. mitsuokai sp. More details ⬇️
