#Plankton mark seasons in the sea, just like leaves and flowers on land https://theconversation.com/plankton-mark-seasons-in-the-sea-just-like-leaves-and-flowers-on-land-237167

"The spring bloom of #algae is quickly followed by a rapid increase in #zooplankton – microscopic #animals that feast on the verdant #phytoplankton... Throughout summer, the abundance of phytoplankton is kept in check by zooplankton, until late summer and early autumn when storms stir up nutrients from deeper waters. These act as fertiliser for algae at the surface which burst into abundance again."

SAVE THE DATE: We are happy to announce that the Workshop on Genomics 2024 will take place on the 7-20th of January.

Save it in your calendars, and share it with those interested! More info to come soon!

Mastodon.social and mstdn.social are totally different servers.

They are owned and run by totally different people.

- Mastodon.social is owned by @Gargron

- Mstdn.social is owned by @stux

They just have similar-looking names, that's all.

We are hosting an SMBE satellite meeting at ASU on the "Mechanisms of Cellular Evolution" These are really fun meetings. Small, high-quality, and great for students. We have an *amazing* lineup of speakers, so take a look and please register if you are interested in evolution, biochemistry, and/or cell biology!

Holy Crap.

If confirmed, we'll have to figure out how to categorize 180,000 newly discovered viruses.

@RNA has called this the "Platinum Age of Virus Discovery"!

"Identification of #RNA viruses is currently limited to those with sequence similarity to a known #virus, such that... the 'dark matter' of the virosphere remains challenging to detect.

We developed a deep learning algorithm [which] integrates both sequence and structural information..."
