Excited to share our new manuscript on a novel #neuropeptide family that regulates #feeding across #evolution. Kudos to @Pat_TFrancisco for tackling this challenging project and coming up with the name @marmite . #homeostasis biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/22 
Also kudos to all our collaborators @TastekinIbrahim @EzraGili @fern1_ana @BartDeplancke @albinojorgemai @alisson_gontijo which allowed us to expand the scope of our study and contributed critical insights. It takes a village 2/22
This is a thread about how anyone can use publicly accessible sequence databases and free software to discover new things about #genomes, #biology, and life on earth.

Genomes are absolutely loaded with complex information, most of which we still don’t understand.
Complete and near complete genome sequences are now available for many organisms.
However, decoding the information in these genomes remains a slow and difficult process.
Complete and near complete genome sequences are now available for many organisms.
However, decoding the information in these genomes remains a slow and difficult process.
A large proportion of most published genome sequences consist of DNA that is incompletely understood in terms of its evolutionary origins and functional significance.
Our paper ‘Current applications and future promise of genetic/genomic data for conservation in an Aotearoa New Zealand context’ is now available as an open-access peer-reviewed report in @docgovtnz’s Science for Conservation series: doc.govt.nz/globalassets/d… 🧵1/7
To support conservation practitioners in identifying appropriate tools to inform conservation management, we review opportunities, challenges and costs associated with available & emerging tools, incl #pedigrees, #microsatellites, #genomes, #eDNA, #aDNA, #pangenomes & more! 2/7
This is a dynamic field, & costs (incl 💰🕒🥼🖥️) are rapidly changing. With >300 references, we hope this paper will be a useful resource for #conservation researchers & practitioners keen to apply the #conservation toolbox, esp. in an Aotearoa context. 3/7
Sur les cas de #variole #simesque (#MPXV) détectés de par le monde, quelques réflexions d'épidémiologie, de modélisation et d'évolution de l'équipe.
Car, pour le moment, ce sont surtout les #génomes viraux qui apportent des indications !

Sans entrer dans les détails, ces infections sont causées par un (gros) #virus à #ADN.
Pour des détails cliniques et thérapeutiques, @MarcGozlan a un post très détaillé en #acceslibre 👇

Les épidémies de #MPXV sont beaucoup étudiées par les modélisateurs car elles ont, habituellement, un #R0<1. Autrement dit, on s'attend à ce qu'elles régressent vite.
Notre collègue @jlloydsmith les a beaucoup analysées :

We are delighted to announce the release of #PhageAI 0.10.0: extended repository and the new #phage #prediction tool: #chronic #lifecycle. 1/4
Each of the #phage genome has computed a new numerical vector representation by #Phage2Vec technology, re-classified #lifecycles and re-computed nearest neighborhood what introduced updated alignment-free top-10 similar #bacteriophages registry. 2/4
Furthermore, we released beta #bacteriophage #taxonomy #prediction tool.

There are reports coming out in the Danish media of novel mutations emerging in #SARSCoV2 in #mink tinyurl.com/y5gbwype
SARS-CoV-2 can infect multiple mammalian carnivores and has now been detected in multiple mink farms to date 👇

📢Have you ever wondered how 🦇 manage to do what they do? #bats have extraordinary adaptations, including powered #flight, laryngeal #echolocation, #vocal #learning and an exceptional #longevity with unique #immunity and resistance to #cancer! 📸: @DanielWhitby5 (2/n)
A #Bat1K team led by @Sonja_Vernes @EmmaTeeling1 @hillermich @TheGeneMyers has just published the raw genetic material that codes for these unique 🦇 adaptations and #superpowers in @nature! #bats #genomics #cool! (3/n)
Dear #Bat1K community! Facing the current situation we have something to share with you. Please keep on reading this thread on #bats and #COVIDー19 🦇👇 1/n
We all find ourselves in the midst of a #global #pandemic. Our life is changing and we all have to adapt. Meanwhile, we get to hear the news, densely packed with the #coronavirus, the disease it causes, and also: #bats. 2/n
#Researchers around the globe are doing their best to quickly understand the virus and its outbreak. Nevertheless, the rush to report and communicate complex scientific results has sometimes led to confusion, mistrust and ultimately even fear and hatred towards #bats 3/n
1/13 While #COVID19 warrants our attention and swift, concerted action, we cannot forget about the existing high global burden diseases like #tuberculosis.
2/13 In ”Exact mapping of Illumina blind spots in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome reveals platform-wide and workflow-specific biases” preview.tinyurl.com/vyhckyc, @crobinhold1 @Valafarlab & I provide a roadmap for navigating #Illumina coverage bias when #sequencing Mtb #genomes
3/13 We use a #phylogenomic filtering step to remove evolutionary signals isolating systematically low coverage and provide lists of #Illumina #blindspots for seven #sequencing workflows (lib prep + instrument) at single-base resolution
