Reverse metabolomics made these two papers a reality. www.nature.com/articles/s41... and www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... but hard for others to do similar analysis as the data science is at a high level. So @vincentlamoureux.bsky.social wanted to enable others with this powerful strategy rdcu.be/ebIF2

It’s not every day one gets to publish an article with NASA astronauts. This journey started in 2019 and withe the goal to understand the microbial and chemical make-up of the space station. We had lots of experience with analysis from swabs on earth.

Another fun paper that was started by a good and important question by Prajit - an undergrad in the lab - about imputation. We then teamed up with the Kelley lab as they are good at such benchmarking in data science. So fun to work woth them. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

I spent some time cleaning up my repo demonstrating how to use the NCBI Datasets REST API to do automated and/or bulk retrieval of genomes, by accession or by taxonomy. It's not super well documented but it does all seem to work :). Enjoy!

1/3 In a new preprintlet, we show that representing mass spectra as path graphs works well. In a regression task predicting QED, mass spectra line graphs + GAT performed 24% better (MAE) than binning + MLP. With @jjjvanderhooft.bsky.social and Niek de Jonge. arxiv.org/abs/2502.10851

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.” I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

Gaining insights into the complexity of specialized metabolites and their possible ecological roles These metabolites not only function as antimicrobials, but also as cue molecules among other peculiar functions -see our paper in microLIFE of @femsjournals.bsky.social on surfactin and subtilosin A

Awestruck by its massive size, miniscule details, and marvelous construction! 😎

Great visit to the North to come together with our NWO KIC Microbiome consortium led by @marnixmedema.bsky.social! It was great hearing progress by all parties and discussing some next steps towards prioritizing bioactive RIPPs 😎

‘Big data’ generated from outsourced or centralized facilities often lacks methodological information. This Perspective outlines how and why researchers, service providers, and other parties should report on #methodology and sample #metadata to improve scientific #reproducibility. plos.io/42hSck6

🚨 Preprint alert 🚨 Chemistry-based vectors map the chemical space of natural biomes from untargeted mass spectrometry data Great collaboration with Pilleriin Peets and colleagues from Jena! 😎 #CompMetabolomics #metabolomics --> www.linkedin.com/posts/jjjvan...

MassSpecGym is the largest publicly available collection of mass spectra data with 231K spectra for 29K unique molecular structures. 33% of the dataset was generated from newly measured, in-house data. 🛡️The dataset is now certified on Polaris! polarishub.io/datasets/rom... youtu.be/G8ZnVRm0ogc

🚨 Preprint alert 🚨 We have just released a new version of our MS2DeepScore 2.0 preprint. Excitingly, our model is now able to do reliable cross-ionization mode chemical similarity predictions between positive and negative ion mode tandem mass spectra. Read more in: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
