@monique-vdor.bsky.socialOur paper is now out in Bioinformatics! 🎉 DNAharvester is a Nextflow pipeline for highly degraded ancient DNA, with metagenomic filtering, competitive mapping, auto read-length cutoffs, reference bias checks, and much more. 📄 doi.org/10.1093/bioi... 💻 github.com/NBISweden/DNAharvester
Show PostHappy to share results of the @bat1kgenomes.bsky.social phase 1, providing reference genomes covering 21 bat families. New insights into bat phylogeny, ancestral genome reconstruction, European origin & ancestral echolocation. Great work by a team of 100+ colleagues www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Show Postpls note the bats have been carefully depicted HANGING FROM THEIR LITTLE BRANCHES on this radial phylogeny (bats drawn by Fiona Reid, whose portfolio is here --> fionareid.ca)
Show PostWhat's behind this tidal wave of epidemics? In the largest study ever conducted on emerging infectious diseases, we show that the popular explanation - "our relationship with nature is out of balance" - doesn't hold up. Out now in Nature, after half a decade of work: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Show PostMy favorite news from the past week - Tyrannosaurus Rex was *warm blooded*!!! And they figured this out using isotopes from tooth enamel 🤯https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aeb7653?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.bsky.app%2F
