We focus on amplicon sequencing (v4 16s, ITS2, custom 2 step) and small genomes. Also extract DNA. No sample minimum.

Our paper is out today! Bacterial genomics has exploded in recent years, but, with a few exceptions, researchers have ignored bacterial epigenomes. We analyzed hundreds of Bacteroides (and friends) isolates and found astonishing epigenomic diversity.

Workshop announcement. I'll be teaching Introduction to Microbial Ecology again! Aug 14-17 @uconnhealth
Learn amplicon sequence processing with mothur and ecological stats with R. No command line experience required. Open to all participants! mars.uconn.edu/workshops/

COR²E has many important updates to share with the UConn research community: recently completed projects, state-of-the-art instrumentation installations, and new people! Read all about them in our brand new Summer 2023 COR²E newsletter here:

Rareify your amplicon data! Statistical tools test more or less data as relevant even if it's due to technical issues (my ability to accurately quantify your library and pipet tiny volumes).

Today we report that removing a strain from a complex microbiome can ripple through the community in an unpredictable (& useful) way. @MinWang_18 was the mastermind, with help from Mark Brown, Stan Hazen & crew. @CellCellPress 1/25

Our go-to genomic DNA isolation protocol that we used for our Deinococcus radiophilus reference genome and many other microbes is now archived with a DOI! Super simple ethanol precipitation that's semi-automated on a PCR block. Enjoyyyy.

Interested in preparing anoxic, sterile growth medium for anaerobic microbes? We have prepared a video tutorial, it is for free, you can share and distribute it. Any feedback is welcome. More videos will come in the next months. Here the link: uni-tuebingen.de/fakultaeten…

Very happy to announce our latest paper, a collaboration with @BalunasLab @Pdorrestein1 @OberliesGroup. We describe how ants sense pathogens to keep their food fungus healthy. See for more:

Congratulations to all authors on this incredibly interesting 🐜study out now in @PNASNews that includes work from members of the @KlassenLab & @BalunasLab! COR²E is proud to have supported this research via sequencing in @UConnMars and mass spectrometry in @UConnProteomics. 👏
Did you know ants are avid gardeners? In a new @PNASNews report, UConn environmental microbiologist and collaborators explain how these tiny creatures have refined their weeding skills to distinguish the good garden fungus from the bad. today.uconn.edu/2023/06/rese…
Coming to MARS this summer!
High-accuracy meets high-throughput for microbiome profiling with near full-length 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing on the Nanopore platform biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Look who's joined us cool kids on this thriving(?) platform!
