Combining wet and dry lab, diving into #nanopore sequencing and #bioinformatics.

[Darrin Schultz @conchoecia]

Ctenophores or sponges? We identified chromosomal changes that support ctenophores as the sister group of all other animals.

In @Nature w/ @beroe @DanRokhsar et al. Support from @MBARI_News @NSF @ERC_Research

PrePrint Alert: RIBAP
Back in 2018, @martinhoelzer and @lisa_barf were puzzled by a #Chlamydia core genome of only 9 genes. Turns out, most #pangenomics tools are challenged by input genomes from different species (but the same genus).

1st full release of RIBAP!

https://t.co/JSBzlIiHeb

RIBAP combines sequence homology info from Roary (kudos to the devs!) w/ clever pairwise ILP calcs (kudos to @klamkiewicz!) to produce a more complete microbial core gene set - even on genus level.

Implemented in @nextflowio

You may never have heard of the plant Brassica Oleracea, but six vegetables you can find in any grocery store and you eat on a regular basis are actually all from this one plant and they're all human made products of selective breeding [source, read more: https://t.co/S3UfriIDbv]

Why do #invertebrates in particular go through a larval stage in their individual development? By answering this question, zoologist Andreas Hejnol @UniJena and an international research team have succeeded in solving one of the riddles of #evolution.

I'm updating the "What's in a Flipper Dipper" practical this year. Bye bye old fashioned DNA barcoding, hello real-time DNA sequencing! My first time using the @nanopore Flongle flowcells, so fingers crossed for some good data.

Is there a resource to easily translate between SARS-CoV-2 amino acid and genomic pos? Most often aa pos is reported (e.g. S:N501Y) but sometimes genomic nt pos is needed (e.g. in that case A23063T).

Or does everyone just have an own Wuhan NC_045512.2 GTF/FASTA query script? :)

Did you spot MinION in @Netflix's new show Alien Worlds? MinION is used to detect the extremophiles that live within the Danakil Depression in Ethiopia — an environment previously thought to be too extreme to support life.
