I did it! I earned my doctorate degree. And with some time to sink in, it finally feels real. π To do it by bringing my vision of whole-genome assembly in wheat to life made it truly a dream come true. π₯°
Need to collect wheat roots & other tissues for RNA-seq or Iso-seq experiments? Here's a method that uses controlled conditions in a growth chamber to minimize sample contamination. π±

Congratulations to Carolyn Mukiri @UniBonn
for winning the IWGSC and Catherine Feuillet Early Career Award π
Come to the #IWGSC workshop at #PAG31 on Saturday 13 January 2024 to hear about Carolyn's research project and read her interview here: https://t.co/FkKXsIvnR4
This is a lake today at Badwater in Death Valley National Park, from all the runoff during huge rains from #HurricaneHillary remnants in August. The salty lake is slowly evaporating.
Trying to study genes while refusing to study the genome around them will never make sense to me. Be the curious chickadee you wish to see in the science world! π£
"Generative culture is one oriented on performance, where potentially damaging information is welcomed and distributed to the right people to act on."
Contrasted to pathological & bureaucratic cultures. A worthwhile quick read on research integrity, safety culture, and trust.
@DPortik@jewilki I'm considering using your HiFi-MAG-
Pipeline to assemble host-associated metagenomes. Very cool! I'm curious if it can also be used for detection of potential contaminant sequences in host contig assemblies? #hifi#metagenomics
