We’re trying to make the G3 journal a home for all your fun bacterial genetics stories! Please hit us up if you have a relevant manuscript to submit!
It's the most wonderful time of the year: the time when we all learn about the latest nanopore updates via screenshots of tweets of photos of slides Looks not disappointing, no sign of the accuracy wall! And dorado 0.7 is now out with the new models: github.com/nanoporetech...
Our new paper on siderophore gene expression heterogeneity across space and time in #Pseudomonas#CellReportswww.cell.com/cell-reports...
Mridha et al. show that the spatial positioning of cells within colonies and genealogical effects drive cellular siderophore gene expression heterogeneity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. Functiona...
Something to keep in your quote armory: "...many papers in the literature report microbial associations that go against basic understanding of microbial ecology, some of which can be likened to reporting blue whales in the Himalayas or African elephants in Antarctica."
A noticeable part of the microbiome literature, especially that working with low-biomass samples, is plagued by reagent contamination. Here we describe visual, statistical, methodical and ecological techniques to facilitate recognition of signals that represent contamination.
Bad budget news: The National Science Foundation (NSF) is the biggest loser, with lawmakers imposing an 8.3% cut to $9.06 billion, some $820 million below 2023. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...
