Minimap2-2.27 released with new presets for accurate Nanopore reads and Illumina Complete Long Reads (both recommended by vendors), along with a few minor features and bug fixes. Output alignment identical to v2.26 except the value at a custom tag. github.com/lh3/minimap2/r…

Phylogenomics of 710 fungal genomes from the biomedically and technologically important genus Aspergillus reveal that ~8% are misidentified - population-level sampling is important. 🧬Jacob L Steenwyk Jos Houbraken RokasLab & many amazing collaborators journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

New Review: "Technology-enabled great leap in deciphering plant genomes" rdcu.be/dBZXH Analysis of 3,517 de novo assemblies from 1,575 plant species sequenced since 2000, including 793 newly sequenced species in the past three years, and a new database.

France's organic sector faces a crisis, with 2022 seeing a 40% drop in areas starting organic conversion and farmers' economic losses estimated up to €300 million in 2023. Public faith in organic benefits wanes, as only 30% now eat organic weekly. buff.ly/4asJvnT

My favourite discovery ever has just come online. Can I please tell you about some seriously wacky molecular biology? The story starts with a reverse transcriptase that SOMEHOW defends bacteria from viruses. (👇 I recommend sound ON for the video 🎹) 1/
