@microbigal @vscooper @BostonBacteria @seqcoast Didn't get a chance to talk to you directly at BBM Michelle, but would love to chat in person. Are you at ASM by any chance?

[Boston Bacterial Meeting (BBM) @BostonBacteria]

These are the two wonderful scientists who have devoted hundreds of hours to make BBM possible @AlamGarciaHered @shailabshrestha @MITBiology @Tufts_Biology

Fun and chill aynen şekerim 😂😭🫠

@DCGenomics @NCBI @vscooper It's a Staph pseudintermedius genome (GCF_004307395.1), hybrid assembly from illumina+ONT

[Defne Surujon @dsurujon]

@NCBI What is the best way to flag/report anomalies in RefSeq genomes? I found an assembly that contains an ONT adapter, which leads to issues when using kmer-based algorithms. This assembly passes all other qc checks. cc @vscooper @DCGenomics

Check out this year's BBM session chair lineup! Special shoutout to @dayzerodx cofounder (and fantastic colleague) @melisanahtar 🦠

[Boston Bacterial Meeting (BBM) @BostonBacteria]

We're delighted to announce these six amazing scientists will serve as "Research Session Chairs" at BBM2023: @melisanahtar, @lbackman21, @roby_bhatt, @Thea_BK, @Cur1ousRsearchr, & #JeffreyMoffitt. Thank you all for kindly volunteering your time to help us plan an awesome event!

[Boston Bacterial Meeting (BBM) @BostonBacteria]

We're looking for panelists for our BBM2023 breakout panels:

1) Careers Beyond the Bench
2) Food Microbiology, Brewing, & Bacteria Art
3) Host-Pathogen Interactions

Please reach out if you're attending BBM (June 12-13) & would like be a panelist or (know an expert). Thanks!

Looking at my 12 tabs of BLAST results

[Mick W@tson ↙️ @BioMickWatson]

#5 NCBI BLAST ONLINE

Need a clean and simple interface to search sequences one by one? Of course you do.

Elite bioinformaticians don't automate things, because you can MISS SOMETHING in the results.

Simply paste your millions of sequences one by one into NCBI BLAST ONLINE

[İrem Özkan, PhD @iremozkani]

It was such a pleasure to work alongside of this great cohort of people in the #bostonbacterial22! We pulled off a great in-person meeting after 2 years. Such an awesome cohort!

The claim by @lpachter that "hardly anyone reads papers anymore" is super interesting, and has generated a lot of discussion.

I think that there is a lot going on here...
