Is there a name for FLiRT +572I yet? FLiRTI? iFLiRT?

The most prevalent one is currently KZ.1.1.1 from Australia. My money would be on that one making a run, but it will probably soon have lots of equivalent cousins.

Wastewater sequencing is so much more interesting at ‘low tide’. That’s when you see what is still around at low levels.

Who gets it?

OK smart people, help me out.

On Spring break in Maine and came across this skeleton on a hike. It's about 2 ft long.

What is it???

Wastewater folks. Has anyone used a concentration method like in this paper? MgCl precipitation onto mixed cellulose ester membrane.

Might try, their data looks really clean (low rRNA) but I feel their methods must be missing a concentration step.
