I'm assembling a denovo genome of a new pseudomonadota (ONT r10), and barrnap is consistently unable to resolve the 5S site(s) from what should be a fully circularized and decently polished output. Based on the 16S and 23S hits there should at least be 3 5S.

What could be happening here? 🤔

#FungalFact 34:

I just shared a video on #Kurokawia palmulata. For almost 200 years, it was known under the wrong name, and only recent DNA work revealed its real place. A simple #lichen, but a good reminder of how our understanding changes over time. 🍃

Any #archaea lab out there interested in having their Natrialba species sequenced on ONT r10 up to about 3Kx read depth for free? I'll send back annotated assembly, methylation data and raw signal files. I need at least one more species for a paper from a particular phylogenetic clade within the genus.

Please feel free to DM & boost!
