To ensure "a safe future of prokaryotic nomenclature", the LPSN are calling for the signing and sharing of a petition to support the "Best of Both Worlds" approach proposed by Arahal et al. (2024).  https://lnkd.in/giAdCWen The LPSN have "serious concerns not only about the existence of two competing prokaryotic nomenclature codes, but also about the negative impact of the SeqCode on the incentive to cultivate and deposit, and the unfair idea of giving equal status to [both system's] names [...]."   LPSN = List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (lpsn.dsmz.de), a free resource, founded in 1997, that provides comprehensive information on the nomenclature of prokaryotes and much more.   I encourage you to read, sign & share the petition, at https://lnkd.in/giAdCWen

In this video, I explain how to read and understand a phylogenetic tree🧬. You’ll also learn about the methods used to construct a phylogenetic tree and how these trees reveal key insights into evolutionary relationships. 🔍🌍. https://lnkd.in/dXqBaVaH

Overcoming challenges in chromosome-level haplotype scaffolding just got easier with HapHiC, our advanced Hi-C scaffolding tool. Designed for haplotype-resolved assemblies without reference genomes, HapHiC demonstrated exceptional performance on the complex genome of triploid Miscanthus × giganteus. Dive into the future of genomic research with this powerful tool: https://lnkd.in/gvHKk3CU

📰 Share: Comparison of k-mer-based de novo comparative metagenomic tools and approaches 🔍 The authors developed sets of simulated short-reads metagenomes to (1) compare k-mer-based and #taxonomy-based distances and evaluate the impact of #technical and #biological variables on these metrics and (2) evaluate the effect of k-mer #sketching and #filtering. They used a real-world metagenomic dataset to provide an overview of the currently available tools for de novo metagenomic comparative analysis. 💡 Keywords: De-novo comparative metagenomics,  #metagenomes,  #kmers 📝 Authors: Alise Ponsero, Matthew Miller, Bonnie Hurwitz 📥 View: https://lnkd.in/gjJcvKTR

Lots of organisms show one or more forms of symmetry, plants included. In The Plant Journal English researchers show that this symmetry starts by cel divisions.

Excited to announce that my latest paper comparing the Cu,Zn-MT species forming in the three major human metallothionein isoforms has been published in Metallomics! We use isotopically pure 63Cu(I) and 68Zn(II) and a combination of experimental ESI-MS and simulated mass spectra to determine the exact metal composition of each species. No isoform was found to be more optimized for Cu(I) binding over another. https://lnkd.in/gTZaJYJd

👏 Hot off the press! 📂 Title: MetaBIDx: a new computational approach to bacteria identification in microbiomes This study introduces #MetaBIDx, a computational method designed to enhance species prediction in metagenomic environments. The method addresses the challenge of accurate species identification in complex microbiomes, which is due to the large number of generated reads and the ever-expanding number of bacterial genomes.  🔎 Keywords: #Bacteriaidentification, #metagenomics, #speciesidentification, #bloomfilter, #clustering 📄 View: https://lnkd.in/gH4cU2uN 🖋 Authors: Diem-Trang Pham, Vinhthuy Phan

Our research article "Novel centromeric repetitive DNA elements reveal karyotype dynamics in polyploid sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia)" has been published online in Chromosoma. Check this out and share your comments. Which is the best paragraph for you? 😎 😲 Take a look at our article!

Important if you want to design a study that would characterize Streptomyces and their AMR.
