Anyone has tips to better balance the reads between barcodes with the @nanoporetech.com rapid barcoding kits? With the exception of 2 all these samples had an input of +/-200ng. There could ofc be small quantification/pippete errors but the difference between samples are sometimes huge. #nanopore

Announcing a new tool for "denoising" long-read amplicon sequences: savont. Savont enables amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) directly from nanopore (or HiFi) long reads. Tested on 16S nanopore amplicons -- seems to work okay. 1/4 github.com/bluenote-157...

Because I'm ranting... Please figure out how to replace "_" with " " in your taxa names. Then figure out how to italicize them. Not sure how difficult this is to do in Prism, but it's pretty straightforward with stringr/ggplot2/ggtext in R. How do plots like this appear in journals with 20 JIFs?

‘Tien tot twintig jaar geleden onderzocht je feitelijk enkele, losse #microben’. Van losse cellen naar een gemeenschap vol samenwerking. Dat is hoe het inzicht in de wereld van microben zich heeft ontwikkeld. Lees verder over het #microbiële #onderzoek bij het NIOO: nioo.knaw.nl/nl/nieuws/oo...

Here's the reality this example illustrates: It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).
