They finally figured out why pee is yellow! doi.org/10.1038/s41564… It’s because of an enzyme called bilirubin reductase that’s made by certain microbes in the gut

For anyone interested in drawing phylogenetic trees, here’s a new free and powerful tree-drawing software application called TreeViewer. Available on Windows/macOS/Linux, it lets you transform phylogenetic trees, add layers, map data to branches, align text, and much more! 👇

For anyone interested in reducing PCR reagent usage in resource-limited or resource-scarcity scenarios, here’s a very promising study suggesting that expired and reduced-concentration qPCR reagents can be used to save money and extend supplies 👇 The study, by Bustin et al.

How do you decontaminate your PCR workspaces? For anyone wanting a contamination-free lab, here are six studies validating the use of diluted domestic bleach (or 1% hypochlorite), or chlorine wipes, then wiping with water, for simple, cheap, and effective decontamination 👇 1️⃣
