I look at genomes and try to understand evolution. My passions: marine arctic biodiversity, seaweed, climate change, learning about the universe, being a dad.

2-million-year-old DNA how do you analyse such DNA? Are you interested in understanding how we overcame the challenges and eventually succeeded after 16 years of trying, published this 7th of Dec. https://t.co/QUpGZ08Xr3 thread 1/9

@drsZeewier Where did you buy it? Link?

#GradStudents are arguably *the* primary producers of #research output at Canadian universities, and core contributors to the #teaching and #leadership missions of their institutions.

**But how (and how well) are they compensated?**

Let's take a look! A long thread 🧵👇

@Shawn_Amos @NASA @neiltyson Someone pointed this out to me, apparently a rocket? Saw it too, it was spectacular https://t.co/9QRYbqSrTf

[Trevor Bringloe @TBringloe]

@G_O_W_A_N So not a meteor but some sort of rocket?

[Trevor Bringloe @TBringloe]

@G_O_W_A_N This is precisely what it looked like for me, except maybe 1/8 the size :/ this one was especially insane https://t.co/KcMBj7Vbnj

[Trevor Bringloe @TBringloe]

@G_O_W_A_N Oh yeah, it went directly overhead so it didn’t create such a large tail from our perspective, but we could see little pieces breaking off and everything, east to westish. I thought I was watching a satellite break up or something, nice one grabbing your phone!

[Trevor Bringloe @TBringloe]

@G_O_W_A_N Saw this from near Fredericton!

@Tom__Jenkins Although, keep in mind algae like to grow with/on/in algae, so your no hits could still represent non targets…I’ve seen mixed polysiphonia samples create this sort of headache (ie mixed genomes in the read file).

[Trevor Bringloe @TBringloe]

@Tom__Jenkins If you are 97% on target I’d say that’s pretty good! Seems like you shouldn’t have other taxa merging your peaks then…

[Trevor Bringloe @TBringloe]

@Tom__Jenkins Seems ok, although if illumina reads I find the first 10-15 bp are often quite noisy so I tend to do a hard head crop of those. Not sure if concatenation would have removed that noise.

@biolumiJEFFence Where is this, OG domes?

[Trevor Bringloe @TBringloe]

@biolumiJEFFence Also the two week standard deadline is not doing anyone any favours…without fail I will extend another two weeks. Reviews cannot be rushed

[Trevor Bringloe @TBringloe]

@SamStarko @GendallLianna @ForrestResearch @twernberg @BiolSci_UWA Best of luck on this adventure! I’m sure it will be an amazing postdoc experience!
