Große Phagen, kleine Phagen, Phagen aus Primatenkot... 💩Die Forschenden am @helmholtz-hiri.bsky.social, @helmholtz-hioh.bsky.social & HZI gehen in ihrer Bakteriophagen-Forschung an die Grenzen!

A fruitful collaboration with Mueena Jahan, @christinalynggaard.bsky.social, Hjalmar Kühl, Mimi Arandjelovic, the PanAf team, and @scs22.bsky.social. Thanks to the @helmholtzhzi.bsky.social, @dfg.de, @villumfonden.bsky.social, @mpifg.bsky.social + @restoreideu.bsky.social! Thanks everyone!

With comments and insights by @eddieholmes.bsky.social, @lucyvandorp.bsky.social, Tom Gilbert, and Hendrik Poinar, who summed up his excitement about ancient RNA with "I think there’ll be a revolution in this space very shortly". @science.org @helmholtz-hioh.bsky.social @helmholtzhzi.bsky.social

Except this one :) www.nature.com/articles/s41.... I will try to keep it in mind for upcoming studies and then you can donate the 20 dollars :)

I hope there is a good way though to create a easily accessible and useable collection of all the efforts people are making - would be great to see :)

These sorts of data on the other hand are perhaps less likely to be used by most of the data generators - so there might be less uptake to upload and figure out the process? Not sure though what the psychology is.

Mandates to make sequence data available also did wonders and perhaps that’ll work down the line, once uptake has shown it to be a community resource people bought into. I feel like sequence databases worked well in part also because sequence generators were also publishing using other’s sequences.
