For #bbm2026 folks - come check out my poster on 3FL, #21! It's part of the data going out on my soon-to-be published preprint, some aspects can definitely use feedback.

What I'm also doing is assessing 3rd party sequencing vendor ONT output quality using some variations of these tools. Feel free to get in touch if you have a sequencing vendor you want to either recommend or have assessed!

Mad 4AM dash to wrap up a #Julialang tool for #archaea lab collaboration. Pure terminal UnicodePlots pipe for assessing & plotting raw BAM reads quality then generating length x quality plot animation in mp4.

The whole thing takes seconds even for pretty large BAMs - necessary since we'll be sequencing and analyzing over a hundred archaeal species.

Also, guys, mastodon media attachment support is leagues better than bsky or twitter. Holy cow.

Leaving for DC on Amtrak - #ASMicrobe2026 woot! If anyone around here wants to chat about #archaea, #sequencing, or independent research please feel free to drop a note or come say hi!
@johncarlosbaez I do not know, yet.
I'd love a masto gut ecologist to teach me all about it. Google is not my friend on this one (and more generally of course, more and more)

Found during a morning shift - maybe I'm just uninitiated but this part absolutely blew my weariness away.

For those who don't know I've been digging into extra chromosomal rrns in Archaea for about two years now - preprint coming this summer!

Those in the know with RNA/ribosome research, what do you think about this one? I'm curious to know.

Vandaag 10 jaar geleden https://sailing-dulce.nl/home/article-4875 #OriginOfLife #endosymbiose #hendrikhamel Zondag 01-05-2016 Hoe het gegaan is, is nog steeds niet helemaal duidelijk, maar wel grotendeels. Hierboven zie je zeer schematisch het ontstaan van leven op de aarde. De drie hoofdrijken: bacteriën, #archaea en eukaryoten. De laatste groep bevat de primitieve cellen mét een celkern, de eerdere bacteriën en archaea hebben nog geen kern. Zij heten daarom samen prokaryoten. Volgens de huidige inzichten ont..
