First ever @biorxivpreprint is up!

a HUGE thank you to @G_Pask for being such a great mentor through this whole process!

Now, have you ever wondered what ant antennae look like up close (like real close)… (1/11)

Excited to share our new preprint on snow leopard genomics - the culmination of a years-long collaboration across the snow leopard community @snowleopards @PantheraCats @TheWCS @snowleopardkg and @PCG_Stanford @PetrovADmitri @_ellie_cat @African_Morgan

With @_hgellert, Sam Church, @AntonySuvorov, @PetrovADmitri and others, we use low-input (down to 30ng), single-insect @nanopore sequencing to help do 184 new genomes and address the near absence of genomic data for drosophilid species that cannot be cultured in the lab.

[Bernard Kim @Bernard_Y_Kim]

We are generating genomic data for all #Drosophila stock center lines as a open resource for the community. @nanopore + resequencing + transcriptome. Huge week-long effort by an amazing group @ASRampasso @KylaOHearn @erdagostino @_LadyOfTheFlies @afmata_2 @Ldy_Natalia @YazBraimah

[Dmitri Petrov @PetrovADmitri]

Super excited to be going with @kasolari and @_hgellert from our lab to https://t.co/YNfMLYaZFe to start our #nsf funded project with @rob_pringle. We will use genomics and fecal genotyping to help understand the eco-evolutionary dynamics of the rewilding of this jewel of a park.

@G_Pask This is amazing!!

[Ellen Dymit @ellendymit]

Tayras (Eria barbara) are definitely one of the more underrated mustelids, and I always love to see them on the @Guatemala_WCS camera traps 👀 our local population here in Petén has this unique full “hood” of blonde fur, which makes them especially cool!

[Bernard Kim @Bernard_Y_Kim]

@PetrovADmitri and I have been working with amazing Drosophila collaborators to broadly sequence the diversity of this group. We believe it is now technically feasible to sequence all >4,400 species, and have organized a #Dros23 workshop to engage the community in this effort.

[Bernard Kim @Bernard_Y_Kim]

So impressed by our first @nanopore PromethION runs (P2 solo) prepped by @kasolari and @_hgellert. Zebra blood gDNA + ligation kit 14 with minimal tweaks. Barcoding workflow needs tweaks for read length but getting tons of data doing 8 Drosophila samples at a time.

[Bernard Kim @Bernard_Y_Kim]

Excited to finally get R10.4.1+Q20 & looks like @nanopore only assembly is the way to go. Major yield & accuracy boost a bonus to our upcoming effort to sequence all of family Drosophilidae (@PetrovADmitri @danrdanny @danielrmatute @DarrenObbard @_hgellert @mbeisen et al)

The most important lesson 🧡

[David Roche @MountainRoche]

I have seen writing threads pop up, and each one gives me extreme creative anxiety. They feel like a recipe for a fine French dish that would either taste like sh*t after I mess something up or make me burn down the house.

A thread of 4 tips that helped me make writing FUN 🧵⬇️

A clip from Don’t Look Up, and then a real TV interview that just happened

[Charlotte Weatherill @CKWeatherill]

Very excited to procrastinate by telling you that my very first article is out! It's called 'Sinking Paradise? Climate change vulnerability and Pacific Island extinction narratives'. It tells a story of colonialism and climate change. Thread and link below, sharing appreciated!🙏

@bhrenton @G_Pask @biorxivpreprint Thanks Benjy!

[Hannah Gellert @_hgellert]

It happened!! Check out our new preprint for some up close images of ant antennae!

[Hannah Gellert @_hgellert]

Thanks for scrolling through! We hope you enjoy the pre-print! (11/11)

[Hannah Gellert @_hgellert]

Beyond grateful to Greg (@G_Pask), Daphné (@daphnehly), and Zack for endless hours spent looking at SEM images! And to Jody from @Middlebury STSS- this project would have been impossible without you!

Lastly, thank you to everyone that sent us ant specimens!! (10/11)
