Helpful to read the preprint in this discussion (for those who care to). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Ambecovirus, a novel Betacoronavirus subgenus circulating in neotropical bats sheds new light on bat-borne coronaviruses evolution
Understanding the viral diversity harboured by wildlife is essential for effective prediction and prevention of future zoonotic outbreaks. Bats, in particular, are recognized as natural reservoirs for...

As a member of the @igemcommunity.bsky.social Engineering Committee I received additional small grants to extend these toolkits both of which are now in over 50 countries around the world. Congratulations to the four other recipients. |5/5|

Related but cool combo of cytogenetics and phenotype. Know when the first QTL was mapped?
Sax, K. 1923. The association of size differences with seed coat pattern and pigmentation in Phaseolus vulgaris. Genetics 8:552-560.

This tool is great. I’d love it even more if I can compare the long read assembly that I have with an NCBI reference genome! Seems to only take NCBI genomes for comparisons.

Very sad news. I was building HMMER profiles to mine the nascent Celera mouse and human genomes. Such a powerful tool.
