    This is the most consciousness-expanding project I've had the pleasure to contribute to: 🧬 We assembled all 27 million sequencing datasets / 44 petabases, and can search it in hours 🤯 🌎🧬 Next goal: SRA-scale BLAST search in sub 60 seconds

    After years of research and continuous refinement, we’re thrilled to share that our paper on the MetaGraph framework — enabling Petabase-scale search across sequencing data — has been published today in Nature (nature.com/articles/s4158…).

    🤯 One of the coolest stories I've ever come across showcasing virus-host-superhost interactions. This is a major paradigm in virus pathology that is woefully under-explored. 🍄 #virology #microbiology #fungi

    🚨 Fungi + viruses + mammalian lungs? Buckle up! Our new paper in @natmicrobiol.nature.com uncovers the story of a deadly fungus and its gnarly viral hitchhiker — and how this duo may change how we diagnose & treat fungal disease 🍄🫁🚨 doi.org/10.1038/s41564… ⬇️
