To align platforms, we tested Batch Effect Removal (BER) methods.
✅ Good: Limma & FAbatch reduce platform noise while preserving disease signal
⚠️ Caution: Some (e.g., Combat w/ ref) may overfit & distort biology
No universal method yet—but promising paths ahead!

🧬 We benchmarked taxonomic merging strategies using a colorectal cancer dataset (740 patients).
Using GreenGenes2, a unified DB, we saw:
• 2× more genera
• 3× more species
• Higher taxa retention than other approaches
GG2 boosts overlap between 16S & WGS data.

We´re happy to share a new conference paper from the #MALL lab!
We explore integrating microbiome data from 16S rRNA & Whole Genome Shotgun across platforms. Can we combine them meaningfully despite their differences?

Knowing how to give a good talk is a crucial skill to have, but it's mostly not formally taught very well. Here's my strategy for how to prepare for the presentation, actually present it, and then answer the questions.
