Quickly preprocessing and profiling microbial community sequencing data with a Nextflow workflow for metagenomics

Published: May 26, 2023

We want to seamlessly process and summarize metagenomics data from Illumina or Nanopore technologies. We built a Nextflow workflow that handles common metagenomics tasks and produces useful outputs and intuitive visualizations.

Identifying candidate accessory domains by mining putative venom protein fusions

Published: Aug 15, 2023

Hoping to find proteins that alter physiology in useful ways, we screened venom data sets for toxins fused to domains with additional functionality. We identified candidates, but struggled to infer any novel functions, and none seem well-conserved across venomous species.
