We are looking for a new group member (BSc/MSc student) to bring our full plasmid sequencing data analysis workflow (NanoPlasmiQC) to the next level.

If you are excited about long-read sequencing and bioinformatics, this project could be for you and your thesis. Please find additional details here:

Here’s the dream: I was represented at a function by a ‘replicant’ of myself, but the people at the event did not know they were talking to my replicant. Prior to the event, I discussed with others advances in #AI and #SynBio (Synthetic #Biology) that made the appearance, speech and movements of replicants indistinguishable from the original human. Even many physiological processes were duplicated - *except* for digestion, which resulted in quite different odours emitted by flatulence. 💨 👃 (1/2)

This is awesome ...

Nigerian distributors made a home-made promotion video about the product they bought and are reselling.

No AI, just a minimal-cost high effort video tailored to an audience and culture I know way too little about.

full disclosure: The product is something I worked on 😃 so I guarantee it works very well.

Would you like to confirm your cloning success with full plasmid sequencing?

NanoPlasmiQC allows automatic analysis of dozens of plasmids in a single ONT sequencing run. If you would like to test it with your own plasmids, read more in the preprint and feel free to reach out:

🧬 Attention iGEM teams!

Are you starting a new project and thinking about biosafety systems? This is a great resource to explore different containment strategies:

📘 Auxotrophy to Xeno-DNA: an exploration of combinatorial mechanisms for a high-fidelity biosafety system for synthetic biology applications

➡️ https://doi.org/10.1186/s13036-018-0105-8

From engineered auxotrophy to xeno-DNA containment, it is full of ideas that could help shape your design and safety planning.

Scientists found a way to clean up #methylmercury, a dangerous pollutant that builds up in our #environment due to human activities. Fish & flies can be engineered to break down this form of #mercury and remove it from their bodies as a less harmful gas, tackling related #pollution & #foodsafety issues. Species at the top of #foodwebs, incl. humans, can accumulate #mercury at levels that harm neural & reproductive health: https://lighthouse.mq.edu.au/article/february-2025/scientists-engineer-fish-and-flies-to-clean-up-toxic-mercury #health #synbio
