More data analysis

In sifting through the mountain of sequencing data that we have now, we noticed some discrepancies on the yeast side of things, and Zymo had to rerun their in-house analyses due to some kind of bug...

The data are in!

We finally got the sequencing data back from Zymo, and it looks like we've got good coverage for bacteria and yeasts in all samples. It's going to take us a while to unpack all of this stuff and t...

Long time, no update

Happy holidays everyone! I apologize for the lack of updates over the past few months. The Fall semester here at Indiana University has been a killer, and it turns out that having 1-year-old twin...

Ahh, good question! Yours is Sample #20. We'll get data back to individuals soon (hopefully) and then start to get into the comparisons.

Project: Mixed culture metagenomics of the microbes making sour beer
Reply to:Klara JunkerKlara Junker
We unfortunately didn't have a proper "uninoculated control" throughout the whole thing because we did this over 3 rounds of experimenting with slightly different reagents (different lots and vendors of DME for example). It would have been expensive to sequence a dozen DME samples. That said, w...more

Reply to:Dan PixleyDan Pixley
We knew L.A.B. were going to be involved (and we could smell their tangy, lemony goodness during the sour mash), but we didn't know which species or what else might be there. We've got various Lactobacilli, Lactococcus, and Leuconostoc species, at least initially. The grain itself contains some...more

Nolan, we definitely need to make the data more approachable. We're still working with Zymo so that we can do a deep dive into the data without killing ourselves, and hopefully, we can share that experience with you and the rest of the backers when we figure out a good way. Even if Experiment.co...more
