On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples. 1. Women are credited less in science than men. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New preprint! We find a novel signal of positive selection in georeferenced genotype data, then use this signal to identify in-progress selective sweeps in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The chance of the broccoli-headed fascists reaching NIH and destroying online NCBI tools and datasets we rely on isn't 0%, so it's worth making a list of the mirrors/alts offered by EMBL-EBI, etc that many of us (including me) are unaware of. #bioinformatics #genomics #biology #evosky #molevol

Widespread use of azole fungicides in agriculture may reduce the effectiveness of antifungal treatments for patients with aspergillosis. EMA highlights that nearly all 120,000 tonnes of azoles sold in the EU were used as pesticides, potentially contributing to #AMR www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/one-...

Our study on #lichen #symbiosis is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! How can multiple microbes create a large, 3D, and structurally complex organism? To answer this question, we used #metagenomics, #metatranscriptomics, and a bit of protein structure modeling 🧵1/7 🧬 🖥️ 🧪 🦠 🧫 #SymbioSky

So it turns out that #NCBI SRA doesn't take pod5 raw files from Nanopore runs 🫠. Where are people putting their raw files then? #bioinformatics #Nanopore #genomics #sciencereproducibility #OpenScience

Where can I find examples of "Equality, Diversity and Inclusion" statements (to apply for faculty positions)? Any tips to not sound fake af, cliché, or unoriginal? #PostdocLife #AcademicLife #ScienceCareers #DiversityInScience

Stoked about this manuscript, many years in the making. We present an original resource of ~700 highly curated plastid MAGs of marine pelagic algae. Among these we found a novel deep branching group of plastid genomes; we informally call them leptophytes www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

DORA comes out strong in support of @elife.bsky.social, criticizing Clarivate, a multi-billion dollar multinational for-profit outfit, for holding the academic community "to ransom". sfdora.org/2024/11/25/c...

Hello Bsky World! Can somebody explain to me the difference between dN/dS and Ka/Ks?? I see some sources saying they are the same thing, but then I go and see papers where they use both terminologies. Does anybody have sources? Help! 🤔 #genomics #PopGen #MolecularEvolution
