Grateful to colleagues, mentors, and collaborators for the trust, discussions, and shared problem-solving over the years.
Looking ahead to new challenges and opportunities, and excited to keep building and collaborating.

After 7 years, Iβm saying goodbye to the lab that shaped a big part of my scientific journey.
I earned here my PhD in Genomics & Bioinformatics, publishing research and building the labβs bioinformatics pipelines from the ground up. A challenging and very rewarding experience.
After the great plasmids evolution session in the morning I followed up on the topic with my poster. Very nice discussions with colleagues that passed by to check it. Enjoyed it very much π

Interested in a snapshot of plasmids phylogeny and AMR? Come get a look at poster P1864 today and letβs chat!

Ready for #ESCMID2025, looking forward to meeting colleagues and hearing about recent developments on the field!

If you are interested in phage satellites, we hope you'll enjoy this. Fun collaboration with the Rocha, Seed, Bikard, and Chen labs! rdcu.be/efkvG
We present JUNIPER, our outbreak reconstruction tool that incorporates within-host variants, models missing data, and scales to large, sparsely sampled datasets to achieve state-of-the-art performance. Led by @ivan_specht et al. @sabeti_lab. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/12 π§΅

We got a new paper out on Staphylococcus pseudintermedius genomics, led by @jaimehat.bsky.social from @uniofsurrey.bsky.social with Fitzpatrick referrals.
We've released our lecture notes for the course Probabilistic AI at ETH Zurich, covering uncertainty in ML and its importance for sequential decision making. Thanks a lot to @jonhue.bsky.social for his amazing effort and to everyone who contributed! We hope this resource is useful to you!
π¦βοΈ Thanks to @cziscience.bsky.social , @wytamma.bsky.social and I are writing the next version of the Snippy bacterial variant calling pipeline. We want your input on what features s it will have. Please fill out this (longish) survey to help make Snippy great again!

As we can expect PubMed dysfunction more and more or to be swamped with fake journals I suggest you get acquainted to this nice alternative: europepmc.org
Enjoying and learning a lot from this piece! I donβt know if the best reading choice for a week of holiday π€£π€― but 100% recommended if you are like me still getting your head around TDL/GDL.

Our paper describing mettannotator, a new prokaryotic annotation pipeline, is out: academic.oup.com/bioinformati...
π Mettannotator generates comprehensive structural & functional annotations
βοΈ Built with #Nextflow β scalable, no installation needed
New pre-print!!! What types of genes end up on plasmids and why? The take home message of this paper is that beneficial genes move from plasmids to chromosome, causing the ecological value of plasmids to decay over time.

getphylo is finally official! Build phylogenetic trees directly from genbank files - at breakneck speed! I'd like to thank everyone who provided feedback and encourage you to continue. Improving getphylo doesn't stop now the paper is out!

Nice to read this today! I had to decide if going for a softer core or not, and luckily I made the right choice π π #mustread
Very excited that my 1st first-author paper has just been published!! We present a novel mutant screening technique that can rapidly identify 100s of antibiotic resistance mutations, while evaluating how likely they are in different genetic backgrounds.

Graph Transformers (GTs) can handle long-range dependencies and resolve information bottlenecks, but theyβre computationally expensive. Our new model, Spexphormer, helps scale them to much larger graphs β check it out at NeurIPS next week, or the preview here!

New year, new assemblies!
I'm excited to announce Autocycler, my new tool for consensus assembly of long-read bacterial genomes!
It's the successor to Trycycler, designed to be faster and less reliant on user intervention.
Check it out: github.com/rrwick/Autoc...

Ten months ago I posted this comic on LinkedIn. It has received over 300 likes in different forms. With humor, but as a critique of those who don't value our work. Let's keep making our demands in 2025! #Bioinformatics
Re-reading these wonderful pieces preparing for what comes in 2025 π

Very much enjoying the pre-print. I hope Santa brings me the actual book π. π @cambridgeup.bsky.social
