Version 3This table summarizes all splice leader sequences I, and other contributors, could find in the literature. The doi and PMID of the reference where the sequences were found serves as reference...

More nematodes, more flatworms, more cestodes, more dinoflagellates.
What is coming form original research is Crithidia but again, keep it coming and the list will grow and I will learn more and more #openscience

I’m not a medical doctor but I have been working on Neglected Tropical Disease and parasitic disease for my entire career and this has been what has been driving me this whole time.
My quote of the day
I will offer those who suffer all my attention, my science and my love. Never will I betray them or risk their wellbeing to satisfy my vanity.
The Oath of Hippocrates (Amelia Arenas translation)

Please people please, once your paper is published, go back on SRA and release it publicly!

Find that collaborator that makes you look at the data in a different way and kiss them (or just say thank you) and spend the rest of the day (and night) revisit everything you have done in a year!

After a great week for me and my student, I decided to capitalize on the luck to use MEGA for a tree and cibersort to deconvolute my data. There is no amount of luck that can make those 2 things happen or I used too much of it for everything good that happened earlier this week #sundayscience #fail

Happy to share our latest preprint, where we present a novel high-throughput #single-cell DNA method that resolves genomic heterogeneity in #Leishmania, from #aneuploidy, #CNVs to #drug-resistance mutations.

My very first fully bioinformatic paper! I did everything myself and now I'm off to do a PCR. I'm grateful to David Serre for teaching me. I hope this will bring new insight to the community and people will enjoy reading it. More to come very soon about Trypanosomatid's genome annotation

No MPM for me this year, I have way too much on my plate BUT it doesn't I won't be there. Look for my name and see the great job my very talented student Anushka Shome has done in collaboration with the Hovel-Miner lab on T. brucei

Sonny is helping to download some Toxoplasma gondii sequences to analyse. He is fascinated by the idea, as everybody can see 😻😏🙃

Join me at BUGSS on Sat August 9th for a approachable and interactive "lecture" on the theory of Nanopore Sequencing, discuss pros and cons, potential applications, answer your questions, and more. See you there! #ONTsequencing #CitizenScience @genomescience.bsky.social @nanoporetech.com

Don't give away fantastic news like "remember what I told you didn't work? well it worked and it looks great but I can't find the file where the description is" just 90min before a progress meeting cause now I want to know for in 90min and not next week Friday #teachingmoment #fantasticintern

Making meaningful bioproject/biosample/SRA entry for the entire community to reuse the data is a tedious process but it is worth it. Thank you to my dear colleague and friend @robincubed.bsky.social you taught me the best practices and keeps on advising me.

I'm doing the stupid research security training mandated if you apply or get federal funds. Nothing there is new if you do academic research for the right reasons. I wonder if all people in government atm have done and passed it... No, don't tell me, i know

Urgent family business made me fly back to France for some time. I have a summer student starting today and I can only say thank you to all my colleagues that are actually helping to make it work! I don't think I could have make it work without them. #appreciateyourcolleagues

In our liberal echo chamber that we created here posting this article is probably less impacting but I'm doing it anyway. #NTD are/will be on the rise soon, #billions were spent in elimination efforts that are now totally wasted.

Remember when I said I didn't want to do a GO analysis ever again, well I still think that however it is the first time it gave something interesting and something I can talk about in the discussion of my paper!

Today wasn’t a great day. Anybody with some cat pictures or some hydatid cyst to help with my mood? Any other parasite would work

Don't forget to tell your support staff that you appreciate the hard work they do and that they matter to what we do. Research would be so much harder without them.
