Methods and Software
More Less
The Microbial Genomics Methods and Software collection will bring together articles describing novel experimental, bioinformatics, modelling, and statistical approaches to the analysis of microbial genomics data, including databases or the integration of genomics with other data streams; as well as systematic comparisons or benchmarking of existing methodologies used in the field of microbial genomics. Guest-edited by Dr Zamin Iqbal (European Bioinformatics Institute) and Dr Caroline Colijn (Simon Fraser University), the collection aims to provide the microbial genomics community with new and systematically validated tools to advance their research.
The cover image for this collection brings together figures from two of retrospective articles in the collection: a phylogeny richly annotated with insertion sequence sites from the article on ISseeker by Adams et al. 2016 (bottom left); and a genome assembly graph from the article on completing bacterial genomes by Wick et al. 2017 (top right).
This collection is now open for submissions. Submit your article here, stating that your manuscript is part of the Methods and Software collection.

Microbe Profiles
More Less
Microbiology is now publishing ‘Microbe Profiles’ – concise, review-type articles that provide overviews of the classification, structure and properties of novel microbes, written by leading microbiologists. These profiles will provide insights into key microbes within the field. The profiles are fully citable and freely available, and will make an excellent resource for education or reference.

Microbiome
More Less
In celebration of World Microbiome Day on 27 June, the Microbiology Society and the British Society for Immunology have collaborated to curate a freely available collection of microbiome research articles published in our journals. This unique collaboration breaks traditional disciplinary boundaries, bringing the microbiology and immunology communities together over shared interests. Articles from the British Society for Immunology can be found here. The full collection can also be viewed on Science Open.
Our co-published Editorial, written by Julian Marchesi of Cardiff University and Imperial College London, and Chair of the Unlocking the Microbiome report, about the landscape of microbiome research on World Microbiome Day, can be found here.

Microreact
More Less
Microbial Genomics is partnered with Microreact, a free data visualisation and sharing platform that allows scientists and health professionals worldwide to better collaborate to understand disease outbreaks. The journal encourages authors to upload their data files to Microreact, which can then provide interactive querying of the data via trees, maps, timelines and tables, and will be published in Microbial Genomics via a permanent web link. This collection brings together articles that have data sets generated by this software.
If you would like to see your work included in this collection, please click here for more information, or submit your article here.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis
More Less
World Tuberculosis Day on 24 March recognises the date in 1882 when Dr Robert Koch announced his discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacillus that causes tuberculosis (TB). In celebration of this, we are excited to present a collection of recently published papers on M. tuberculosis.
