Speaker bio(s)

I will present two computational tools for microbiome research recently developed by my group – the first allows high-resolution microbial profiling of novel niches (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.09.03.556087v1, under review), and the second is a bacterial knowledge base that has collected more than 1.5 million sequence-to-phenotype associations and allows extracting pan-microbiome biological insights (https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/51/13/6593/7199329).
