The Balearic shearwater is a Critically Endangered #IUCNRedlist #seabird endemic of the Balearic Islands affected by #introduced mammals and #bycatch in longline #fisheries. Previous studies predict their extinction by 2070! doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Picking up where @rita_rebollo left, we spent a couple of years annotating and analyzing the rest of the rice #weevil #genome (ok, the 15% left after removing repeats)! All info presented here is on the huge Additional file 2 in @BMCBiology doi.org/10.1186/s12915… 1/n
@VargasChavezC and @gabaldonlab performed a comprehensive #phylogenomic analysis of the rice #weevil and found that this insect has a high gene expansion rate when compared to other beetles. 2/n
With the invaluable help of the SymT group from @INRAE_UMR_BF2I we have also reconstructed the #metabolic pathways from both #symbiotic partners. Specific losses of enzymes in the #weevil genome are limited while its #endosymbiont has suffered much more degradation. 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
