EARLY ADOPTERS: We recently published the preprint for getphylo - a tool that automatically builds multi-locus phylogenetic trees. It is still under review, but I would love feedback from anyone who wants to try it out already! 🧵https://t.co/xBl3lImbZ7

[Paco Barona-Gomez @EvoDivMet]

After 11 reviewers declined/ignored invitations, I have run out of ideas. Anyone out there interested and with the expertise in Ganoderma and/or fungal pangenomics? Please reach out to me.

@ainsleybeaton1 @MattHutchings10 @plasmidsaurus @im_just_jake You put me to shame! Beautiful!

@ainsleybeaton1 @MattHutchings10 @plasmidsaurus @im_just_jake My masterpiece...

It's been a privilege to play around with these genomes for the past two years. Now it's available for everyone! Great job by the sequencing team!

[Thom Booth @BoothThom]

Yikes!

This is one the great comms f-ups of all time.

@ZachReitzPhD Ah, antishasm reveals itself again!

@SalamMicrobes @wildtypeMC Same here. I'm using the free version of iToL for basic visualisations if I want to do it with the GUI. If your looking for alternatives, I guess figtree is still maintained?

[Marc Chevrette @wildtypeMC]

Now that iToL is non-free, what is everyone's favorite tree viewer for building publication-quality figures with data layered into the trees?

I've been on a bit of a writing spree lately. This week's story is about the time Denmark accidently hit Denmark with a missile... https://t.co/OaI4kZQ2kg

Incredible how pseudoscience can pervade our societies so easily. I knew about this in the US, but was unaware the same thing was happening in the UK. If you read one thing today:

Somehow still the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology despite losing a libel case against the people she's meant to be supporting.

[Thom Booth @BoothThom]

A monumental effort from Tue and the team! Complete sequences of this quantity means that we can ask questions that were previously unanswerable. This paper just the beginning!

[Thom Booth @BoothThom]

Can't wait! And what an honour to be included in a line up like this!
