I'm working on a genome QC viz tool. This takes a set of genomes (.fasta) and finds telomeres, contig/gap positions, and spits out contiguity stats (default plot for 3 human genomes 👇). What other features would be useful? (has to be type-able with k-mers).

¡Hola, mi gente! Check the article we published with Gwendolyn Peyre, Fabien Anthelme and jorge luis ceballos about my master's thesis results: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Listen to our new #podcast episode out now! Dr. Holly Clarke from the @Hopitaux_unige tells us about the Swiss-Cameroonian collab using AI to make a smartphone app for better cervical cancer screening in low-income countries On spotify now: open.spotify.com/episode/4Oragz…

Using an innovative DNA hybridisation capture protocol to recover high percentages of the #DNAbarcode of 18th–20th century type specimens, researchers were able to resolve some complex taxonomic questions for the #moth genus Argyria. Read more: doi.org/10.3897/zookey…

Happy to share our TOGA manuscript, now out in Science. Project started 6 years ago, we and others already used TOGA in numerous projects. TOGA integrates gene annotation and orthology inference, and scales to hundreds of genomes. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I did a thing

Now lowest number of butterflies ever on Dutch Butterfly Monitoring transects.

Finally back from Prague and backing up all this MicroCT scan data. I'll be excited to start learning about proper segmentation and how to do some 3D morphological analyses! The short video is a rotating 3D microCT scan of a Calosoma Callisthenes reticulatum.

So I finally learned what "Navajo" plots are called in phylogenetics. Does anyone know of a program that can do this automated (feeding it newick files or something) or does everyone do it manually/by hand?

I had a lot of great discussion about my work in beetle evolution & museomic work Biology24. I just got 180 more specimen back from sequencin, it's a shame I couldn't include them. Next year then!

🚨New paper in Nature Communications🚨 It is finally here! Find how the angiosperm radiation played a dual role in the diversification of insects (including pollinators) since the Cretaceous onwards 🪻🌺🐞🦋🐝🌍 nature.com/articles/s4146… Institut Botànic de Barcelona CNRS 🌍 CSIC #labpaleoecology #fossil

OK don't laugh. I spent 3 days watching every frame of the animated classic FernGully: The Last Rainforest. I cross referenced lists, maps and my own approximate area of where the movie took place around Wollumbin (formerly Mt Warning), Australia to figure out a species list.

I had an awesome time meeting all the European Carabidologst in Budapest, learning about their research, presenting a small pop gen project, and and showing a poster on the first big chapter of my PhD thesis, Adephaga phylogenomics (focusing on Carabidae of course!). #21stECM
