“How long will the bioinformatics analysis take?” If you’ve ever been asked that… you know the answer: It depends. Here’s why: 🧵

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

very sad news. Peer Bork was one of the leaders of our field, a wonderful scientist, and he's much too young to be gone. www.embl.org/news/embl-an...

A life-time dream came true! Our new work just came out on Genetics (@academic.oup.com) Thanks to our collaborators from several institutions and in particular to Lauren McIntyre ( @ufresearch.bsky.social), who led the effort! You can give a look here: academic.oup.com/genetics/adv...

Three decades of biodiversity data, published one decade after we started the project! Our new paper in @NatureComms shows how airborne eDNA from archived aerosol filters can track ecosystem changes across the tree of life—2700+ genera, weekly resolution, 34 years. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How it started / How it’s going

Excited to speak today at UQ, Brisbane. 37 degrees today, and expecting hail and storm later today!

For the right person, this is a dream job!

Our work on grapevine holobiont now on biorXiv! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This feels like a spot of good news www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

The picture is not so nice, but Massimo Guazzini successfully defended his PhD on #omics #dataintegration to understand the #grapevine #holobiont. So proud, although he is not on @bsky.app

www.open.online/2025/07/07/a... What do US people think about this news (Musk founding a new right-wing party)? Could this be an advantage for the Democrats, since right-wing voters may be split?

For those interested. Some results from the #Life #Seedforce project financed from @ec.europa.eu Genetic diversity and conservation options for Primula palinuri Petagna in Italy www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

Sometimes, the headlines just write themselves!

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

This is just terrible... I am so sorry for all my American friends.

The analogy of omics data normalization and cooking: some processing is usually necessary, overcooking makes it bland, highly over-processed foods are unhealthy, and the quality of the ingredients matters.

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚 Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

I have no affiliation with this summer school, but it’s really taught by some of the best, and it’s free!! Fair warning, it’s highly competitive & merit based (I was rejected way back when 🤣). Postdocs and PhD in stat gen should absolutely apply! lpshg.com

A good word from Mary Oliver this morning. 💙 @maryoliverdaily.bsky.social

Latest data from AllTheBacteria described in our updated preprint. All illumina WGS bacterial+archaeal sequence data to Aug 2024 consistently assembled, QC, and now AMR profiling. That's 2.4 million genomes. Gene annotations almost done , coming next. Please use! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I've got a really important presentation on Monday and a story to write, so I built a cardboard theatre for my cat.

I am co-leading a short course on Genetic Epidemiology through the Bristol Medical School. Course has lots of direct contact with tutors, as well as interaction with other students during various online practicals. There is a discounted rate for studetns form for lower and middle income countries.

Can someone share the program of past editions of PAG (Plant and Animal Genome)? I would like to bring some data on ddRAD of endangered plant species, not sure if it may be of interest. Can someone share pdf of old program? New web site is still under construction (www.intlpag.org/2025/).

Story now updated with context and reaction quotes from Betty Chung, Andre Fischer, and Matthew Disney. #chemsky 🧪

My copy of @rebeccathorne.bsky.social 's A Pirate's Life for Tea just arrived with perfect timing (it's been a heck of a week, for multiple reasons, so I NEED some cozy romantic fantasy goodness right now!), and I love this dedication. ;)

I am working in a Life project aimed at safeguarding threatened plants. Of course, if you are interested you can give a look: lifeseedforce.eu/en/. I am dealing with the genetics part of the project. Any good account related to genetics/genomics and conservation I can follow?

Two new chapters from my free online book in human genetics out this weekend! These complete Part 3 of the book, on human population structure and history: 3.3: Human prehistory [separate thread] 3.4: Ancient DNA: a genetic time capsule [this thread] web.stanford.edu/group/pritch...
