  1. Heyyy everyone #academicmastadon #academia

    I think
    #biorxiv is sending out a survey link, might be relevant. The survey has issues pertinent to their social media presence (Mastodon, Bluesky, ...).

    If you are a publishing scientist I think this might be a good thing to keep an eye out for

  2. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20 Benchmarking of virus detection methods from WGS data. PPR-Meta seems best in environmental samples, while VirSorter2 is best in the gut. Which is good, because VirSorter2 is what we're using at the moment in the @BorkLab 😅

  3. A new #preprint #OpenScience #PeerReview by @PCI_Infections: Perez, G. et al. The distribution, phenology, host range and pathogen prevalence of #Ixodesricinus in France: a systematic map and narrative review. #bioRxiv #Infections. doi.org/10.1101/2023.04.18.537

  4. New paper from my old group:

    Long-read genome assemblies of 33 species of eucalypt (gum tree) from across Australia, encompassing ~70My of evolution. Key finding: macrosynteny is preserved, but microsynteny rampantly disrupted. Cool result given the propensity for inter-specific hybridization and gene flow.

    Preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20
    Feel free to reach out with any Q's!

  5. @hauschke @kuf I totally agree on the Mastodon #federatedsearch part. I'm on FediScience.org, signed up with my professional identity and ORCID, and I really want our toots to show up e.g. on #bioRxiv. Both to show that Mastodon is a viable alternative for Science Twitter, and to find interesting people and discussions.

    Not every Mastodon instance needs to support search, but at least the "professional" ones should (with opt-out for users, of course).

    @FrankSonntag, what do you think?
