Infectious RNA are either viruses or viroids. In our newest preprint we show there are also hybrid infectious agents: viroid-like elements which encode their own stolen copy of the RNA virus hallmark-gene, RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRp).

Tara Oceans claimed five new virus phyla "dominate the ocean" https://t.co/DKgVRl737v, but their own analysis finds mostly known viruses, only 2.8% assigned to "new phyla" https://t.co/fbXY7afPn1

[The Banfield Lab @BanfieldLab]

The Banfield lab is looking to hire a postdoc to work on metagenomics of soil and/or the human microbiome, with preference for those with bioinformatics skills. Please reach out to [email protected] if interested and spread the word!

@neuromusic @drugmonkeyblog @cshperspectives @michaelhoffman 2c: For exp. data growth (18mo like SRA). After 7 years, _all_ data >7yrs old will only be ~4.1% of the total storage size/costs.
Deleting old data doesn't make sense since it's a trivial cost relative to maintaining archive overall.
