Wow, I missed this paper from 2015. I believe Vampirovibrio is the only ever cultivated member of the Melainabacteria (errr, 'Vampirovibrionophyceae') which are Cyanobacteria that lost photosynthesis. One of the few remaining uncultivated classes in the human gut. peerj.com/articles/968/

This was just prior to the NAS review. We didn't know about the USFWS-funded study in SWLA sequencing coyote scats for red wolf ancestry (Murphy et al.). We found out during the review. That triggered K&B to do a preprint of our paper and then submit to Genes after a Sci. Adv. reject.

No, CS conferences are an equitable way to disseminate results quickly, other fields disseminate preprints less equitably. On the other hand, how does moving to journal reviews help with 10x more papers? On the other hand, probably AI review will help with the AI problem of too many papers.
