- Reposted by Jessica Bernardin🧬🦠🚨 Another new paper alert, this time led by @maureenbug.bsky.social ! In collaboration with the Emerson lab and @titus.idyll.org lab (@taylorreiter.bsky.social), both at UC Davis. Asking the question: what are we missing in short-read metagenome assembly, and why ? doi.org/10.1093/narg...

- Ever wondered how single-celled predators in soil boost plant health? 🧬 Protists don't just eat bacteria -they team up with them to shape the rhizosphere. 📈 Auxin isn't just a plant hormone -it's an interkingdom signal influencing microbial and protist life. 🌱 Read: academic.oup.com/ismej/advanc...

- Reposted by Jessica BernardinThe average nucleotide identity (ANI) underpins how we map microbial diversity, compare species, and connect genomes to ecology. I wrote a short piece reflecting on the discovery and significance of this metric (and really enjoyed digging into the context and story behind it!) #microsky 🧬

- Reposted by Jessica BernardinNew blog post! Let's say you have two measures meant to capture the same confounder. They're highly correlated. Can you still proceed with your regression analysis? (I admit, the title is a bit of a spoiler) www.the100.ci/2025/10/13/i...

- Reposted by Jessica BernardinHow can we identify #coexistence in #ecology? There are at least three common approaches (structural stability, eigenvalues, and invasion), and each investigates different aspects of community dynamics (equilibria, locally stable equilibria, and global stability). 1/2

- Reposted by Jessica BernardinHeads up: ignore samtools dot org, similarly minimap2 dot com and likely others. It's owned by a known phishing site and while the binaries they offer look valid currently (but note they may be serving us different binaries to others), that could change. Ie: it's not us (Samtools team)! Be warned
- 📝 Excited to share our new paper in Molecular Ecology! 📝 We tested how multiple environmental stressors influence plant-associated microbial communities. 🌟 Each stressor mattered on its own, but their interactions often produced very different outcomes.🌟 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- Reposted by Jessica BernardinBEHOLD! One of Earth's greatest lineages of life: the lil wiggle arm guys, Meteora. These single-celled critters, originally found in deep-sea sediments, are SO DIFFERENT from other lifeforms on Earth that they're likely in their own kingdom (as in, the Animal Kingdom, the Plant Kingdom etc). 🧪🌿
