Available today! Amazing to contribute to a book series that helped me so much as a student. Thank you to the editors and chapter coauthors. cabidigitallibrary.org/doi/10.1079/97…

Here’s a cheap and effective ~20 min single-tube DNA extraction method for bacteria and fungal spores, in which cells are cracked open by boiling in 0.1 M KOH, drained and resuspended in water, and then used directly for PCR to produce amplicons of up to 6,500 bp! 👇 It could be

We developed VEHoP, a new phylogenomic pipeline that takes various data inputs. In collaboration with Kevin Kocot & C. Chen @ Jamsteeeec The link is here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

GUIDE: Are you assembling a #genome for a #polyploid? In this new blog, Dr Camilla Ryan demonstrates how to go beyond the traditional collapsed genome and retain all haplotypes in the #assembly. okt.to/H67U5y

A lot of molecular and cell and developmental biology is concerned with figuring out the "functions" of various proteins. I'm starting to distrust that formulation...

A #newspecies of ring #nematode, Xenocriconemella andreae, has been identified from the Iberian Peninsula. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/zse.10… #taxonomy

Just under 5 weeks left to BGA24 and we have 39 sessions signed up to give fantastic talks and live tutorials on processes and tools that underpin the EBP! From sessions by Darwin Tree of Life wet lab, assembly and curation teams to Local Contexts and Wise Ancestors, there's a lot!

We also have a new sign up where you can sign up to your chosen sessions! thebgacademy.fillout.com/attendee_form

If your University or organization is hiring invertebrate genomic positions this fall please share with us. We would love to help you get the word out!
