Sometimes it's not only important WHAT you sample, but HOW you do it 🌱 Our new preprint is out! We introduce a scalable, reproducible framework for agricultural rhizosphere sampling that tackles operational definitions, pooling strategies & preservation methods head-on. tinyurl.com/muxehfvz

We updated our comparative genomics pipeline bacLIFE, it will now make use of BAKTA and BiG-SCAPE in addition to the newest PFAM and DBCAN database. LAGs and GCFs are now better annotated. Several other minor changes are included too. @vcarryon.bsky.social github.com/Carrion-lab/...

Awesome scientific symposium this week in Granada on plant-microbe interactions. Thanks @rootbenefit.bsky.social for the opportunity to present our work on using machine learning to find microbes that alleviate salt stress.

Excited to share our new preprint on rhizobacterial biosensors mapping sucrose exudation 🌱 Work spanning my TomKat postdoc in @josedinneny.bsky.social's lab to my own lab at @universityofga.bsky.social; co-first with my PhD student Gretchen Brinkman: 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Long-term organic farming shapes the avocado rhizosphere microbiota through the enrichment of drought-tolerant Bacillus spp. #NPJBiofilmsMicrobiomes from José Gutiérrez-Barranquero with @kevinbretscher.bsky.social @vcarryon.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is a really thoughtful and interesting article on our current #PeerReview system in #AcademicPublishing by Adam Mastroianni. Absolutely worth the read. And you can then spend even more time reading the really interesting follow-up articles. #Science #SciencePublishing #ResearchPublishing

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

🌻🦠 New preprint on bioRxiv! Leaf herbivory reshapes the sunflower rhizosphere microbiome, generating a soil legacy that enhances herbivory tolerance in subsequent plant generations through plant–soil feedbacks. 👉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

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?

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).
