20+ years on #Linux, 🧬🖥️ #bioinformatics pipelines daily - and one relaxed moment running a colleague's script nearly wiped my $HOME 😅 Here's how a silent cd+rm combo escaped my project dir, the original script was quite tangled, but it hid this construct [ ⚠️ danger zone, don't run 🔥 ]

Fungal phylum-level classification update now available! Used "innovative taxonomy" to describe >100 taxa, from species to phylum, based on long reads, characteristic nucleotides and env-samples. mycokeys.pensoft.net/article/1616... #fungi #taxonomy #PacBio #classification #eDNA

New article on equitable reuse of public sequencing data, published in @natmicrobiol.nature.com! Led by the Data reuse core team @lhug.bsky.social @environmicrobio.bsky.social Cristina Moraru, @geomicrosoares.bsky.social, @folker.bsky.social and with Anke Heyer and The Data Reuse Consotrium!

Who lives underground? Find out now in our new paper published in @nature.com. Key finding: 90% of predicted mycorrhizal biodiversity hotspots lie outside protected areas. Read here: buff.ly/WmDqAP3 🧵

AM fungi are vital for plants but their global richness remains underexplored. In our latest study, out in Fungal Ecology, we analyzed 4,733 sites, revealing 8,517 G-AMF OTUs (5–15x previous estimates) & 600 E-AMF OTUs, the first global count. Read it for free authors.elsevier.com/c/1kJ7y6ExPy...

🍄📖 Do high-impact journals lead to more fungal species discoveries? Think again! Low or even no-impact factor journals contribute significantly! Let's value research quality over impact metrics in funding and hiring decisions! Read more @MycoKeys: mycokeys.pensoft.net/article/136048
