1/50 #Science is an ongoing process that serves to investigate phenomena, gain new insights or "correct prior knowledge" and this only works in #discourse. This includes diversity of #Opinion, #tolerance and a broad debate space. This is a large thread.
2/50 "#trust the science" is in my view the most #antiscience statement ever. #Questioning science is how you do #Science. This thread gives some examples and further questions.

3/50 What about good ##scientific #Practice? I found a glaring example here (of all things, in what I consider to be a rush to #vaccine #approval). #blotgate

Today we finally published the genomic analyses of hair locks from world-famous music composer Ludwig van #Beethoven. The #genome offers clues to his health and family history! 🧬💇‍♂️ @CurrentBiology buff.ly/3YZEVY0 (credits: Beethoven-Haus Bonn; T. Begg)
🧵 1/11 Image
@CurrentBiology 8 hair locks attributed to Beethoven = 5 genetic matches + 2 non-matching samples + 1 not conclusive.

@CurrentBiology Beethoven’s whole genome was sequenced from one of the matching locks, the Stumpff lock. The ultra-short DNA fragments characteristic of historical hair samples (mean fragment length 29.62 bp) resulted in a 24-fold (!) genome coverage. (credits: Anthi Tiliakou)

As we see videos in social media of the first $PACB PacBio Revio to enter the @broadinstitute , with the promise of the long-read $1000/genome in place, what does it look like today to set up a Next-Generation Sequencing factory/institute?
There have been many of these institutes come and go, and probably the @broadinstitute (Cambridge, US) and the @sangerinstitute (Cambridge, UK) are the two referents in historical terms and in their magnitude of achievements in #genomics. So if we take them as an example, what do
we learn from them?
1) They were successful at being early adopters of large-scale Sanger Sequencing.
2) They were very well funded from the get-go, and contributed in large part to the success of sequencing the reference #human #genome in 2000-2001.

As 2022 draws to a close, we’ve been reflecting on some of the highlights (in no particular order) — you can read the full article here: bit.ly/3IfaKYc, or digest the thread below. Wishing you a happy new year and all the best for 2023! 1/23
The #cancer research community has made huge strides leveraging the unique attributes of #nanopore sequencing to characterise cancer at unprecedented resolution, unlocking previously hidden variation and accelerating research to support human health. nanoporetech.com/cancer-research 2/23
In May, @mdelledon took a group of scientists into the Gobi Desert to capture small mammals, including bats, to study their microbiome and they set up a genomics lab in a tent. They demonstrated the utility of the MinION in the harsh, off grid and sandy desert environment! 3/23

Excited to share our new manuscript on a novel #neuropeptide family that regulates #feeding across #evolution. Kudos to @Pat_TFrancisco for tackling this challenging project and coming up with the name @marmite . #homeostasis biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/22
Also kudos to all our collaborators @TastekinIbrahim @EzraGili @fern1_ana @BartDeplancke @albinojorgemai @alisson_gontijo which allowed us to expand the scope of our study and contributed critical insights. It takes a village 2/22
The sequencing of #genomes has been a major milestone in #biology. We have precise maps of the #genome of animals and we think that we know all the major players. Especially the conserved ones which are so important that most animals have them. But is it really like that? 3/22

Are you interested in learning about #bioinformatics and working with #genomic data? Here's a detailed #learning path to get you started:
To build a strong foundation in biology, you'll need to learn about:
The #structure and #function of #cells, including the various #organelles and their roles in the cell. This will help you understand how cells work and how they carry out essential functions such as #metabolism and #energy production.

Il paraît que ce post a énervé beaucoup de gens réveillés? Je ne fais qu'analyser et expliquer des études scientifiques, comme depuis 2 ans. Et j'ai encore 2-3 arguments pour en finir avec la théorie de Lanka ou Kaufman que les #virus n'existeraient pas.⏬
Les détracteurs de #virus disent qu'ils "sont confondus avec des #exosomes. Faux & facile à prouver.
Les exosomes, produits par nos cellules, jouent un rôle de messagers. Ils ont une forme sphérique et peuvent #ressembler au virus.
Mais à cause de cette similitude, certains...⏬
Certains affirment que les virus n'existent pas car ils sont confondus avec des #exosomes.
Alors voilà quelques #virus, Ebola, #adénovirus (structure à 20faces), SARSCov2.
En bas voyez des exosomes, à bicouche lipidique. europepmc.org/article/PMC/PM…
Donc non, on n'a rien confondu.⏬ Image

Picking up where @rita_rebollo left, we spent a couple of years annotating and analyzing the rest of the rice #weevil #genome (ok, the 15% left after removing repeats)! All info presented here is on the huge Additional file 2 in @BMCBiology doi.org/10.1186/s12915… 1/n
@VargasChavezC and @gabaldonlab performed a comprehensive #phylogenomic analysis of the rice #weevil and found that this insect has a high gene expansion rate when compared to other beetles. 2/n Image
With the invaluable help of the SymT group from @INRAE_UMR_BF2I we have also reconstructed the #metabolic pathways from both #symbiotic partners. Specific losses of enzymes in the #weevil genome are limited while its #endosymbiont has suffered much more degradation. 3/n

⭐️ It is with immense pleasure that we share with you the published #Sitophilus oryzae #genome paper in @BMCBiology doi.org/10.1186/s12915… 1/n
S. oryzae is a #coleopteran capable of destroying entire cereal crops posing a significant threat to the food security of many developing countries. The female #weevil lays ~300 eggs during its lifetime. They develop within the cereal grain until a ~3 day old adult emerges 2/n Image
Cereal grains are nutritionally poor, and S. oryzae partnered with a gram- bacterium that complements its diet. The bacteria are present within specialized insect cells, called #bacteriocytes. Check here for our latest research on this #symbiosis doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…. 3/n
