The main story are estimates of 'discoverable' species, genera, ..., phyla (?) in unbinned metagenomic contigs that do are not captured by MAGs. How many lineages lurk in existing data, and which habitats are prime hotspots for the discovery of novel diversity?

The team's first preprint is out!
Led by
@vishnuprasoodanan.bsky.social & @omaistrenko.bsky.social , we asked a question (almost) as old as microbiology: how many prokaryotic species exist on Earth? More specifically, how much diversity is "hiding" in existing metagenomic data?
A 🧵.

Phenotypic divergence among European populations was assayed in 173 isofemale lines, spearheaded by Esra Durmaz Mitchell and Thomas Flatt, we show that populations differed markedly in multivariate trait structure @evolletters.bsky.social @eseb.bsky.social academic.oup.com/evlett/artic... (5/7)
Continent-wide differentiation of fitness traits and patterns of climate adaptation among European populations of Drosophila melanogaster
Abstract. A particularly well-studied evolutionary model is the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster, a cosmopolitan insect of ancestral southern-central Af
