Excited to share our paper on Coral Reefs, where we checked intra- and inter-specific variation in Acropora heat tolerance and Symbiodiniaceae composition.

Revised 16S rRNA V4 hypervariable region targeting primers enhance detection of Patescibacteria and other lineages across diverse environments | ISME Communications | Oxford Academic https://t.co/oXvO83M0jJ
Excited to share our new paper in Bioinformatics Advances! We introduce DeepTaxa, a deep learning tool for 16S rRNA taxonomic classification 🦠🧬 with goal to improve species-level assignment by learning both local DNA patterns and broader sequence context https://t.co/ZBEJqqhai2
Coral reefs are increasingly threaten by marine heatwaves, but what pushes corals past their breaking point?
New in @ScienceAdvances: we found that corals can lose the microscopic system that helps move oxygen around their tissues during heat stress 🪸

This was a long but valuable read. While some are familiar points, it offers many interesting insights. Take some time and read.
"Philosophy of biology has the potential to contribute to biology by improving scientific reasoning. However, this potential is largely unrealized because of most biologists' lack of awareness of what philosophy can offer, because of deficits in biological expertise among most philosophers, and because of adherence to disciplinary norms in philosophy that render much work in philosophy of biology irrelevant to biologists. We believe that the philosophy of biology will contribute little to biology without a change of practice. We provide guidelines on how biologists can better engage with philosophy and how philosophers can better engage with biology to create a “philosophical biology” that improves our biological understanding."

We hope BAT will help molecular biologists to think in terms of gene trees.
Evolutionary signal within gene families is often the first clue that there is amazing, novel biology to be found.
Try out some BAT analyses of YFGs (Your Favorite Genes!)
