Bhatt: 'Microbial evolution on a clinical timescale' - shape-shifting genomes, perhaps contributing to antibiotic resistance. #AGBT18

5:47pm February 12th 2018 via Hootsuite

Bhatt: Illustrates collapse of complexity with compiling lots of 16S reads. Horizontal gene transfer: increasing fitness, growth #AGBT18

5:45pm February 12th 2018 via Hootsuite

Bhatt: Oligodomination and seafloor sediment: most organisms are unknown. Repeated seq 'confound seq & assembly approaches' #AGBT18

5:42pm February 12th 2018 via Hootsuite

Bhatt: "Maddenly complex." Metagenomics cannot "link taxonomy to function". "Who is there? 16S. What do they do? Shotgun." #AGBT18

5:40pm February 12th 2018 via Hootsuite

Bhatt: In these sediments; 'with all our seq tech, we can't figure out WHO is doing WHAT?' #AGBT18

5:39pm February 12th 2018 via Hootsuite

Bhatt: Is it a superbug? Acquired genes? All 'no'. Another mystery case: a research ship in Pacific make ocean floor sediment cores #AGBT18

5:39pm February 12th 2018 via Hootsuite

Bhatt: Q:how does oligodomination happen? After HCT (transplantation), one bacteriodes spp dominates. 30-50% of pts #AGBT18

5:37pm February 12th 2018 via Hootsuite

Bhatt: Pts get diseases - GVD, infections. Individual got neutropenia, and GVD. Often observe post-transplant loss of diversity #AGBT18

5:36pm February 12th 2018 via Hootsuite

Bhatt: Irradiation or anticancer drug kills bone marrow, stem cells donated and injected. "And then we sit around and wait" #AGBT18

5:25pm February 12th 2018 via Hootsuite

Marques: 50% of elincRNAs are multiexonic; is the mature transcript impt? The question - how does elincRNA splicing affect cis-exp? #AGBT18

5:20pm February 12th 2018 via Hootsuite

Marques: shRNA knockdown experiments - Mani could be a pleuripotent factor. #AGBT18
