Finally out! our new paper presenting the CoSMIC method for high resolution microbiome analysis

@maorknak.bsky.social
A new study from @maorknak.bsky.social and colleagues introduces CoSMIC, a hybrid sequencing strategy that improves microbial community profiling resolution and sensitivity across novel habitats versus standard 16S methods while lowering per-sample cost,.
CoSMIC: A hybrid approach for large-scale, high-resolution microbial profiling of novel niches
Standard microbial profiling based on 16S rRNA (16S) sequencing suffers from a lack of primer universality, primer biases, and often yields low resolution. We introduce ‘Comprehensive Small Ribosomal…

Collecting sponges to complement my heatwave study.
Hoping to catch a real marine heatwave, but the strong mistral winds cooled things down fast. Great for the sponges, not ideal for my thermal stress data!

In 2021 (just after I found out I was pregnant), we flew to Crete to test what shapes the diversity in sponges as living hotels.
Do isolated sponges host more guests?
Four years (and a toddler) later, our Single Hotel Hypothesis paper is out!

ATLASea has just launched a new sampling campaign in one of the most iconic sites of marine biodiversity.
For the next 10 days, our team of researchers will be working around the #Endoume_Marine_Station in Marseille to collect samples of marine species from the surrounding area.

We have started yesterday a 2-weeks mission à Endoume marine station, to collect marine species individuals for @atlasea.bsky.social !
The perfect place for for the collection, identification and preparation of marine species samples to be sequenced... 🦐🦞🪸🦀⭐🪱🧬

📸 ATLASea Mission – Day 4 - photography
Each selected specimen is individually photographed in the photo room by 3 dedicated teams.
🗂️ Images are paired with species sheets + unique ATLASea & MNHN labels to ensure full data traceability.
Next stop: the dissection room!

The #ATLSea project: a #France2030 mission to sequence marine life from every coastline. Collecting invertebrates off the coast of Marseille - from sponges to sea slugs. ATLASea is building an incredible database one genome at a time. 🐚🦐 #OceanGenome #Biodiversity
