@ChrisWWheat @katharina_hoff I think you should be able to use that command with ‘braker_extra_args’ but sounds like you should proceed with care . Thanks for trying out the tool.

If you are annotating one or many genomes check out our new genome annotation pipeline https://t.co/6vIwLitCiV

[Jason Shiller @J_Shiller]

It supports consensus and phased genomes and is orchestrated by nextflow so scales well to suit large pangenome projects

Please RT: Applications for a Massey University Doctoral Scholarship open on Feb 1. If you have a grade average of A- or better and are interested in the functional characterization of fungal effector proteins, please DM me to see if you should apply! 1/2 https://t.co/X3CjvAGCEy

@Kaf_PlantDoc Congratulations !

Anyone else finding papers published without the relevant sequencing data available. What to do? Tried contacting the authors with no response.

I was really happy to have a small part in this work and now it is out!

Chromosome-level assembly of the Phytophthora agathidicida genome reveals adaptation in effector gene families https://t.co/6aQkdXho7J

RT: We are still looking for a senior molecular pathologist to join my team @scion_research in Rotorua, New Zealand

Do you love 🌲?
Do you like fungi & oomycete pathogens?
Do you know like to get your 'omics' on?

Then this job could be for you!

@estebanvalvb 💪💪💪 nice work !

[Carl Mesarich @C_H_Mesarich]

Please RT: We have a @BioprotectionNZ-funded PhD position in out lab @MasseyUni in New Zealand to study the role of fungal effector proteins in antagonistic fungus–microbe interactions! Details here: https://t.co/BXzquJbOY2

[Jason Shiller @J_Shiller]

@mcdre444 @LTranslat3d @scion_research We will see if we can get long amplicon sequencing going with some Phytophthora and Fusarium test cultures !

[Darryl Herron @LTranslat3d]

SMALL BUT MIGHTY!

@scion_research got a MinIon!
This little desktop sequencer will enable the analysis of anything, by anyone, anywhere.
@J_Shiller can now, at his desk, dive into the pathogen communities associated with weeds & insects & their importance as reservoirs.

[Carl Mesarich @C_H_Mesarich]

Excited to share our latest #applescab preprint, led by @mercerocafort: The Venturia inaequalis effector repertoire is expressed in waves & is dominated by expanded families with predicted structural similarity to Avr proteins from other fungi – https://t.co/L8L9YaEEl3 (1/9)

Heartbreaking! Myrtle rust continues to push local myrtles to extinction. This is a wonderful collaborative effort to communicate the efforts of communities, conservationists and scientists. These stories need to be shared. @byondMyrtleRust @docgovtnz
