Este 10 de abril, saludamos a quienes investigan, y en este marco, a pensarse como trabajadores. Tiene que haber un horizonte común entre quienes investigan y el resto de los trabajadores. Porque sin ciencias no hay futuro deseable. Y sin condiciones dignas, no hay ciencias.

Our review is out in Nature Reviews Genetics! rdcu.be/d5AY2

We show how phylogeny-based methods can resolve the problem of non-independence in genomic datasets.

These methods must be considered an essential part of the comparative genomics toolkit.

New year, new assemblies!
I'm excited to announce Autocycler, my new tool for consensus assembly of long-read bacterial genomes!
It's the successor to Trycycler, designed to be faster and less reliant on user intervention.

Really exciting development from the @pathoplexus.org team, with a new curated database for mpox genomic data.

Glad to see these rapid data sharing efforts taking shape, guided by consistent, transparent governance and an ongoing commitment to equity and fairness.
Today Pathoplexus announces the inclusion of a new viral pathogen: mpox (previously known as monkeypox).

Within the context of the current mpox outbreaks and ongoing health concerns, Pathoplexus aims to support sequence sharing to improve both understanding and response.

How best to avoid the costs of bearing a #plasmid? Rosanna Wright @brockhurstlab.bsky.social @jpjhall.bsky.social &co find that #bacteria benefit from compensating plasmids by chromosomal (rather than plasmid-borne) mutations @plosbiology.bsky.social plos.io/3ODbXdN
A chromosomal mutation is superior to a plasmid-encoded mutation for plasmid fitness cost compensation
Plasmids spread important traits in microbiomes but impose fitness costs on their hosts. This study of the ecological consequences of plasmid-bacterial compensatory evolution reveals benefits to bacte...

often overlooked in EDI strategies and key to perceptions of excellence. Language coaching not the only solution (takes extra time too): need to normalise non-native accents/accept different ways of expressing oneself
Non-native English speakers need 50% more time to write a paper

When they do, they face a 2.5 times higher chance of being rejected because of language

From here #Klebsiella genomics really ramped up, and we now have >100,000 genomes in NCBI!
There’s too much to cover here, but we summarised some of it in this 2020 review pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32055025/ & will hear a lot of new stuff at #KLEBS week. Look our for a conference report!
