@hardestgeezer Yeah, those sandstorms would have been rough. Good point re physiologically recovering. That's a whole nother factor. I guess missions like this leave some scars. Also. I enjoyed your comments about religion in the book - thought provoking. Thanks Russ!
Interested in root-microbe interactions? Want to uncover how plants influence microbes and vice versa? Thinking about doing a PhD? Come join my lab on a fully funded PhD project. Rolling deadline - will screen candidates every cpl weeks. Details here: https://t.co/40ixDwUauS
1/5: Molecular intricacies of gut bacteria! 🧬 Our study in @NatureMicrobiol , with colleagues from @Helmholtz_HIRI, @DeutschbauerLab , & @LBarquist groups, unveils B. thetaiotaomicron's transcriptional landscape across 15 gut conditions. https://t.co/NoX3tRSOdM
To all interested in single-cell RNA-seq of microbes and bacteria. We have improved our original workflow (Imdahl F 2020 Nature Microbiology). Releasing our new protocol: more robust, more genes, depletes rRNA with Cas9. Done with @LBarquist lab https://t.co/LiF45Uc3OH

Don't miss this one: the whole new #graduate program „RNAmed—Future Leaders in #RNA-based #Medicine“ through the Elite Network Bavaria, Germany, is offering 15 fully-funded #PhD positions (4 years) in Würzburg, Munich or Regensburg. 👉Apply by Sept 15 via https://t.co/5XWX4uohmw.
Our comprehensive analysis of antisense antibiotics against uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) is out. 9mer PNA does the job! Led by postdoc Linda Popella, nice collaboration with @LBarquist@Helmholtz_HIRI Würzburg. https://t.co/sBuyRqUejq
Latest antisense antibiotic paper with @JoergLab@jakobjung@Regan_Hayward@bayresq out in @NAR_Open -- Comprehensive analysis of PNA-based antisense antibiotics targeting various essential genes in uropathogenic Escherichia coli https://t.co/Dfjj46EnS4
Two new preprints from the group -- first is from @jakobjung presenting the MASON webserver for design of RNA-targeting antisense antibiotics, with lots of new experimental results investigating off-target effects in collaboration with @JoergLab https://t.co/reAjyllgtr
Second preprint is a deep dive applying machine learning to predict CRISPRi guide efficiency in bacteria from large screens, pulling together multiple datasets with a mixed-effect random forest. From

Yay! Finally a human genome. Congratulations to this "right-stuff" team!!! Next we want routine, diploid & free for all. (a 92% diploid genome is now $300, but could be <$0 as costs saved via genetic counseling are >$30k when community-averaged)
Happy to share my first postdoc paper in @CommsBio at @PSUresearch. We identified fine-scale differences in bacterial dynamics according to fine root branching order. Possible implications when homogenising roots. Article: https://t.co/9onfA3A2sp. Fantastic team effort!
Pipeline release! nf-core/dualrnaseq v1.0.0 (Analysis of Dual RNA-seq data - an experimental method for interrogating host-pathogen interactions through simultaneous RNA-seq.)

Four years' work, 178 billion sequencing reads, and nearly 5 million cells went into constructing atlases of gene expression and chromatin accessibility in human development, out now.
