A full house for @nextflowio training in Cambridge, UK. Go @adamrtalbot and @aka_hpatel. Next up is our Seqera Sessions event this afternoon. #❤️community
I'm excited to launch the free tier of PlatePlanner!
PlatePlanner is a tool for research scientists that helps them quickly create beautiful platemaps.
▶️ Did you know coffee machines and dishwashers have their own distinct microbial communities.
Genomes of these microbes - extremophiles have many interesting insights to provide. @sridharsivasubb and I write in @the_hindu today.
MGnify Genomes’ #marine catalogue has been updated to v2, with 33x the number of genomes compared to v1. It covers nearly 9x more species, and brings new annotations from our updated pipeline. This work is part of @BlueRemediomics and @EU_AtlantECO.

Poultry🐔farms are hotspots for antibiotic resistance gene spread (ARG). This is a threat to animals, the workers & the environment. We are excited to have been part of the CIRCLES @SciFoodHealth research on the dynamic flow of ARGs from poultry to humans https://t.co/J8F2oeNiuN

According to @WHO, #dengue fever will become a major threat in the southern US, southern Europe, & parts of Africa in this decade.
Higher temperatures are expected to create conditions for the spread of #mosquitoes carrying the infection.

Nothing makes sense in biology if the organisms studied are not correctly identified and named!

#Microbiome twitter, we are looking for negative control samples from as many sources and kits as possible. If you've included blanks in your 16S or ITS amplicon seq project and the data is publicly available, drop a link in the thread!
RTs appreciated!
Free tools to do microbial bioinformatics!
I'm sharing some useful tools I use on a daily basis, most of them with no dependencies.
100% untested, for the adrenaline junkies ⚡
Highlights include regex-based genbank slicing and fast assembly compression

Really lovely introductory editorial by our new @ZoolJLinnSoc EiC @jeff_streicher, alongside 3 papers debating stability and ethics in taxonomic nomenclature. I’m so pleased to see @LinneanSociety support this important discussion. https://t.co/LQH4HS5ktd
