"Genes are... the easy part" @philipcball.bsky.social argues biologists need to embrace complexity from the start, rather than beginning with oversimplified "one gene, one trait" models +1 www.cell.com/cell-systems...

A quick reminder: if CheckM reports an assembly as <100% complete and >0% contaminated, that doesn't necessarily mean it's incomplete or contaminated. Here are RefSeq's CheckM results for a genome I'm confident is 100% complete and 0% contaminated.

Which universities have the most retracted articles - and the highest retraction rates? For @nature.com, here's a first-of-its-kind analysis of retractions by institutions. Full details in the story. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

We're also excited about C. acnes!!! 🎉

C. acnes is the most abundant bacterium on human skin. But what if we could make it the smarterst? 🦠✨ In our new @cellpress.bsky.social #CellSystems study, we programmed C. acnes to actively protect the skin for therapeutic applications! 🛡️ authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

A priviledge to work with this amazing team!

My own opinion is that it's good to signal (through words and/or actions) the virtues that you value; that's one of the most important parts of maintaining a healthy community.

Considering starting a spin-off based on your #synbio discoveries? 💡 The EU-funded SYNBEE project supports #entrepreneurship by helping synthetic biology professionals turn their ideas into impactful solutions across Europe. Learn more 👇

Not only environmental bioremediation but also health and agriculture are here at play. Thus, the importance of bringing this discussions back.

In one year, I genetically engineered the boring Arabidopsis into a beautiful ornamental flower 🧬🌹 Here is how and why I gave this model organism a visual upgrade 🧵(1/7)

Before I write my own analysis script, does anyone in #tbsky have a tool for pathway analysis for Mtb genes?

I miss the possibility to follow back everyone following me in 🦋 these days. So many cool scientists 😱

New paper from the lab out in Cell Systems. “Spatiotemporal dynamics during niche remodeling by super-colonizing microbiota in the mammalian gut” www.cell.com/cell-systems...

Recognizing burnout as simultaneously a societal, workplace-specific, and individual problem “reminds me of the idea of sociology as a form of ‘un-gaslighting’: it helps you understand that if your problems are the result of structural forces, then you’re not the only one dealing with them.”

The strain on scientific publishing 📄: We've got issues. Scientists overwhelmed, editors overworked, constant special issue invites, mass article retractions, journal delistings… JUST WHAT IS GOING ON!? See: arxiv.org/abs/2309.15884 A 🧵1/n #AcademicChatter #PublishOrPerish #PhDAdvice #PhDChat

Happy to join the team to push fwd the #bugsigdb initiative, a community-led db by Levi Waldron, Curtis Huttenhower & Nicola Segata bugsigdb.org/Main_Page *starting w/ the outreachy project www.outreachy.org/apply/projec... where interns will curate published microbial signatures #MicrobiomeSky
