After the SeqCode proposal follows its governance. After the governance follows its functioning to speed up the process of officially naming uncultivated prokaryotes!!!

If you missed the talks and discussion from #BISMiSLive on the proposal to integrate Candidatus into ICNP, watch them now at youtube.com/watch?v=1ot1DR… ICSP SeqCode Kamlesh Jangid #TaxonomyIsFun MACS Collection of Microorganisms (MCM) @CCUG_Sweden Leibniz-Institut DSMZ LPSN Microbiology Society The ISME Journal

Looking forward to it...

if you want a few dozen bacterial names derived from Dougan scroll down through here figshare.com/s/aa95daebca9b… and read this ;-) microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

Two different names proposed for Asgard archaea phylum, Promethearchaeota (#ICNP) and Asgardarchaeota (#SeqCode). It shows how different rules govern prokaryotic #taxonomy. #archaea #eukaryotes #microbiology tiny.cc/83m0zz tiny.cc/63m0zz

Nice!

Masaru K. Nobu There will be a roundtable at ISME2019 in August about SeqCode, and it could be the closest opportunity to actually have such a discussion. It was proposed by Maria Chuvochina and @PhilHugenholtz. Panel members Luis M Rodriguez-R @marike_palmer and Stephanus Venter. isme19.isme-microbes.org/isme19-roundta…

Our review article about phylogenetic (gene tree-species tree) reconciliation is out. We make the case that reconciliation methods provide a natural framework for modelling/studying microbial evolution, summarise some previous work... academic.oup.com/ismej/advance-…

SILVAngs has been updated to use SILVA 138.2 by default.

Please fill in. Curious to see the stats! Thanks for setting this up, Giovanna!

Fungi are the next frontier in biodiversity science; over 90% are yet to be described. Says Alexandre Antonelli KewGardens in his public lecture at #IBC2024.

To all knowledge foragers and gatherers (aka taxonomists)...Please share this!

For locals by locals! Great opportunity for learning...
