"For a decade, the nonprofit Colibrí Center for Human Rights worked with state agencies and humanitarian organizations to identify migrants whose remains were found in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. As part of this work, the organization managed a database of DNA samples from families across the U.S. and Latin America...But now, Colibrí’s missing- persons database has itself gone missing."

Once upon a time, I was a microbiologist. So I was quite excited to find this collection of streamers amongst ochre, probably bacterial exopolymer with a slightly less blue colour in real life than this shot (due to lighting constraints). It's within an 1849-cut mile-long drainage adit for a slate quarry.

Anybody know of a good UK-based lab that could do some metagenomic analysis and without breaking the bank (I'm just a poor volunteer!)
