Tired of 3D7? Need real P. falciparum genomes from real infections? We’ve got you: 43 PacBio HiFi–assembled genomes from The Gambia, with full var/rifin/stevor repertoires in all their wild diversity. Data now public! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/2)

🚨 2-year post-doc position available in my lab. More details below. Please repost! acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:...

I've long argued that MDPI's commercial practices aren't all that different to the other big commercial publishers, but it's still funny to see Springer Nature "literally carbon copying MDPI titles – just pricing them lower to lure scientists in".

🚨 New paper! We generated one of the largest datasets of Plasmodium falciparum genotypes & genomes from asymptomatic infections in The Gambia over 2.5 years. (1/2) elifesciences.org/articles/103...

This collaboration with Gwladys Bertin (IRD Paris) was started 12 years ago, it's finally published! We tracked P. falciparum in kids with severe malaria & found that new haplotypes emerge after treatment begins - missed at admission! www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

🚨 Postdoc Alert! 1-year position in Plasmodium genomics at Montpellier 🇫🇷 🔬 Focus: P. falciparum Omics from field isolates 🌍 Open only to LMIC applicants 📈 Bioinformatics | Genomics | Transcriptomics 👉 lphi.umontpellier.fr/job-offers/p... #Malaria #Postdoc #Genomics #ParasiteBiology #LMIC

Nature has built its business on unpaid reviewers and now writes an article about unpaid labor in academia… How ironic.

OK, here is my very first tweet (or whatever sound a butterfly makes?). I'd like to publish a dataset of P.f. PacBio genomes. "Scientific Data" would be an appropriate Journal, but I'm trying to avoid Springer/Elsevier like the plague. Anybody knows a suitable nonprofit alternative Journal?
