Exploring subsoil Microbiome Functioning:

New paper in @NatureFoodJnl by Ziheng Peng and Shuo Jiao et al. demonstrates that subsoil microbiomes are less resistant to global changes compared to topsoil microbiomes.

I wish I had tutorials like this one on https://t.co/WYgwTxgOIN when I was learning the command line! Oh the pain that could have been avoided 😵‍💫

Novel crop varieties obtained by new breeding techniques such as gene-editing are part of the solution to keep EU agriculture competitive, healthy, sustainable and eco-friendly. Huge benefit for farmers and consumers. Listen to the science !!!

Out today in @NatureBiotech! PhD students & postdocs: there's a trick – overlooked and underused – for having new ideas in the creative process. Talk science 1 on 1 with a science buddy that you trust and think of it as an improvisation. https://t.co/Xw7VpKHot2…

Disgusting to see artists reposting audience lining up at odd hours to purchase tickets and celebrating the academy’s obsolete ticketing system! Definitely not the way to evaluate their music @ranjanigayatri. @musicacademyma

On this day in 1977, Fred Sanger published the first paper demonstrating "Sanger sequencing", opening the doors to read DNA and earning him a 1980 Nobel prize. Absolutely revolutionary work🫡

My article is now out in @Nature!

It’s been ~1 year since my post about the flaws within 2 high-profile articles that claimed 33-68% increases in crop yield. Our paper describes common issues & suggests yield-testing criteria for future pubs. A thread🧵

"Resistance that stacks up: engineering rust and mildew disease control in the cereal crops wheat and barley". >150 studies surveyed to determine efficacy of cloned wheat R genes to aid in judicious stacking. Thanks @PeterDracatos , Jing Lu @javicheztin

@MeghnaSrishti Do you have a link to the post doctoral position application?

A new technique analysing modern genetic data suggests that pre-humans survived in a group of only 1,280 individuals. https://t.co/HH2tvcSM31

The moon landing is a metaphor for what we can learn from @Isro. Stand up after setbacks, focus on goals, and combine process with culture. Work collectively, and stay strong through roller-coaster rides. Leadership and deep domain expertise make for success. Kudos team @isro

#India has become the first nation to reach the south pole of the #Moon after its Chandrayaan-3 probe successfully landed as planned.

[FungiDB @fungidb]

#Fungi exhibit intragenomic variation in the form of nucleotide substitutions, deletions/insertions, and likely ‘‘pseudogenes’’ which can be impacting taxonomic, eDNA, and diversity estimate studies. https://t.co/jUyqn8XQei @CellPressNews @RokasLab

Science cannot just come down to providing services at a particular cost per sample. Strange that little research is happening in public funded research institutions and everyone wants to just provide services!

[Sam Scarpino @svscarpino]

I always carb load before bioinformatics.

[Sophien Kamoun @KamounLab]

I just published: How to trick a plant pathogen

There’s a bright future for bioengineering of plant immune receptors, a future that’s deeply rooted in fundamental research and discovery.

Accounting for Isoform Expression in eQTL Mapping Substantially Increases Power. That makes a lot of sense!
Interesting preprint by @nlapier2 & @hjpimentel
