@cryptic_omics @aida_verdes @MaurstadMarius @LabRiesgo @anariesgogil Or just go direct to novoplasty if you already have a close seed/reference.

@cryptic_omics @aida_verdes @MaurstadMarius @LabRiesgo @anariesgogil Hi @cryptic_omics , spades de novo assembly --> blast out mitochondria (full/part) --> if partial then use as own reference/seed in novoplasty. Worked a treat for me on invertebrates (bryozoans). Paper coming soon! mitobim is not worth the time, nor GetOrganelle, not tried mitoZ.

@Thomieh @nanopore Hi @Thomieh, I have done this with pacbio but same problem, long product + PCR = chimeras https://t.co/0F0tfHjlUQ. Reduce PCR to an absolute minimum and use Usearch to remove chimeras. can always compare to reference seqeunces as well.

@biolojical @dwbapst try adding some dinoflagellates..that'll take you way over the 100 mark ;)

Interesting! but an irony that it's not OA https://t.co/V0htOXk3Nd

Interesting point of view:"If the papers don't come to the journal…"

Are you a post-graduate student that would like to improve your knowledge of #microRNA? Don’t hesitate to read the paper by Francisco J. Enguita (@fenguita) et al. reporting @miRNAtools, a web repository of microRNA tools and tutorials. https://t.co/xKKtR3qeIT

Nice @PhylumBryozoa! @lhliow @KLVoje @MarianneNHaugen we have competition for the bleed lab clothes collection it seems 🤓😛 https://t.co/Akwo5mcSza
