This brings the number of children who have died from the cold since the beginning of the winter season to nine. 🎥 Video by Hamza Qraiqea
- 1/🧵 Major milestone unlocked for mycology! 🍄 We just published a massive genomic resource in 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚, releasing 2,695 complete circular mitochondrial species assembled from public data This single dataset nearly 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐒 📈the known mitochondrial diversity of the Kingdom Fungi rdcu.be/eYZ2h
- 2/🧵 From human #pathogens to industrial powerhouses, this #dataset was built to be a definitive reference for the entire community. If you work with fungi, there is a good chance we’ve just recovered the mitochondrial data you’ve been missing. It’s time to ask new questions about fungal evolution 🌍

- Glad to be part of the Data Reuse Consortium behind this @natmicrobiol.nature.com paper. Soon, ENA/NCBI submissions will include a Data Reuse Identifier (DRI) — like a DOI for papers. If you use microbiome sequencing data 🦠🧫🔬🧑💻, you need to read this 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- New article on equitable reuse of public sequencing data, published in @natmicrobiol.nature.com! Led by the Data reuse core team @lhug.bsky.social @environmicrobio.bsky.social Cristina Moraru, @geomicrosoares.bsky.social, @folker.bsky.social and with Anke Heyer and The Data Reuse Consotrium!

- Here we go!
- Always a very nice milestone: @ammarabdalrahem.bsky.social has printed his PhD thesis on reproductive mode polymorphism in the #poplar #rust #fungus. Congratulations Ammar 👏👏👏
- Reposted by Ammar AbdalrahemIt started as a master thesis project by Markus Hiltunen, and ended up in this publication in Science. What a fun project to work on! Thanks Markus - and all other coauthors, too, for a great team work! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

- Reposted by Ammar AbdalrahemThe scope of #fungi #biodiversity is only beginning to be fathomed. Every day almost ten new species are described. 🍄🤯 David Hibbett László Nagy and Henrik Nilsson introduce the fungal tree of life. www.cell.com/current-biol...
- Let's try it
- Long time coming... Zotero for Android is finally out forums.zotero.org/discussion/1.... Game changer for reading papers.

- Reposted by Ammar AbdalrahemOur new paper is out! We observed a loss of function in mating compatibility for HD genes for the first time in basidiomycete fungi, and new evolutionary strata in the absence of sexually antagonistic selection! @tatianagiraud.bsky.social More details here 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
