Rag-and-bone science: interesting results from recycled data
I was surprised and thrilled to learn that I was a joint winner of Parasitology Journal’s Early Career Research Award 2024 for my paper “Revisiting fecal metatranscriptomics analyses of macaques with idiopathic chronic diarrhoea with a focus on trichomonad parasites”. This work arose from a need to find new ways of generating interesting results for my PhD thesis while I was unable to access the lab during the Covid-19 lockdowns. The idea was to leverage the vast wealth of next-generation sequencing datasets available in online databases to address new biological questions.
