The wait is finally over! Check out our final (and open-access!) paper on the firefly genome(s). Thank you to everyone who has followed along with our project from the beginning 🙌 https://t.co/1lQYC0aLbW

No need to worry about the FireflyBase website & the firefly genome mysteriously disappearing: the Photinus pyralis genome plus annotation is now available via NCBI! https://t.co/T0qDyJwoNr , stay tuned for availability of Ignelater luminosus & Aquatica lateralis genomes via NCBI

Today the world lost a great scientist, one who pioneered studies of #bioluminescence and #GFP - Rest In Peace. #Aequorea

This scientist is figuring out how fireflies first acquired the ability to glow — and hopefully, in the process, finding better laboratory tools for studying disease and developing treatments. https://t.co/97ewXGAhwS

Big Dipper firefly luciferase shows signatures of natural selection, but NOT on the amino acid sequence! 6 years in the making #chapter3 #laboroflove #laborday https://t.co/hkvj7TZgjg

The future of scientific peer review? You be the judge! See our response to the first comment on our @biorxivpreprint manuscript on @PubPeer https://t.co/WGoNJ5zLA5 Let us know your comments as well!

The @USPS #bioluminescence stamps are finally out! You just *know* team #firefly #genome will be sending all future letters, and possibly packages of Photinus pyralis, with that Photinus pyralis stamp. Anyone need anything mailed? https://t.co/i58tNUhnpv

Celebrating Bioluminescent Life! Join us as we countdown to the #BioluminescentStamps First-day-of-issue ceremony on February 22. Today’s stamp features a photo of a deep-ocean octopus photographed by Edith Widder.

Just submitted the firefly "orthomyxo-like" viruses uncovered by the firefly genome project & @humbertodebat to NCBI Genbank. Had to choose a common name for the viruses. I went with "firefly flu" and "firefly flu deux", with deux pronounced in the French way 🙂 @fireflygenome

[fireflygenome @fireflygenome]

...and we're not done yet, #teambioluminescentbeetles continues to build on the results! https://t.co/igRnlAWsEn

Illuminating work from the @fireflygenome team: not just 1, but 3 new genome assemblies with results that shed light on luminescence

Our website hosting our firefly genome data is now up. Check it out, and let us know if you find any issues: https://t.co/2VISUJgdKK

[fireflygenome @fireflygenome]

Season's greetings! On this darkest on nights, I bring warm tidings of summer. The #firefly #genome manuscript is now available on @biorxivpreprint, and surprise! There are 3 genomes! Check it out here: https://t.co/NSZ3MwziOM

[fireflygenome @fireflygenome]

But will it sequence a firefly? 😉 @illumina #onlyonewaytofindout #firefly https://t.co/W3VZdCFuRp

[Chris Mason @mason_lab]

First run on the new @illumina Firefly sequencer looks great! 6M 151x151 PF reads, 1.8GBases, >99.8% accuracy in 16 hours. Santa came with SBS candy in a CMOS wrapper this year.

[fireflygenome @fireflygenome]

...and how is the American firefly genome doing you might ask? Team #firefly is currently busy writing the scientific manuscript! Stay tuned for more updates, hopefully quite soon®

[fireflygenome @fireflygenome]

Want to help scientists sequence a new #firefly genome? Vote for the european glowworm in the @sangerinstitute genome contest! 25 species enter, and your votes will choose the 5 winners. https://t.co/PzkVwBC8RK

@JJ_Emerson @BeckmanFnd @NSF @MITBiology Haven't yet tried DGB2OLC. MaSuRCA gave us pretty good results. We've frozen our assembly for now, but may revisit later

[fireflygenome @fireflygenome]

Here's our poster on the #firefly genome progress at International Firefly Symposium #IFS2017! Big thx to @BeckmanFnd @NSF @MITBiology 4 $$😁

[fireflygenome @fireflygenome]

The 2017 @PacBio SMRT Grant competition is on! Where does team #firefly fall? Hard call. We love an underdog, but then again, #beetlepower! https://t.co/FqvOq06dWD

[Genome Galaxy @GenomeGalaxy]

Beetles takes early lead in @PacBio SMRT Grant competition! Support your favorites. Voting open until April 5th.
