SBG students and faculty brought soil science to life last weekend at the 111th UC Davis Picnic Day! 🌱 Visitors explored Soil Science Central by painting with soil, learning texture-by-feel, and spotting live nematodes under the microscope. We love sharing our passion for soil with the community! 🤎

Wetting dry soil rapidly stimulates microbial activity and has important consequences for biogeochemical cycling. In our paper out today, we show that part of that response can be explained by how bacterial genomes are written (i.e. codon usage, nucleotide freq., genome size)

Faculty mentoring in academic institutions, a thread.
As I advance in my academic career (read: as I keep getting more gray hair), I've come to appreciate, even more than before, the profound responsibility we (senior-ish faculty) have to support and nurture emerging talent, not diminish it.

We finally put it together! The first ICTV #Virus #Taxonomy Challenge provides a dataset of thousands of contigs from diverse viruses, asking bioinformaticians to classify them in an automated, reproducible way. See: ictv-vbeg.github.io/ICTV-Taxonom... - tell your bioinformaticians and colleagues!
Why do we need a computational taxonomy?
