Eric Edsinger @000generic.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Brave's search AI is sensitive to the order of words in a query: what is the iqtree2 -p option = Success what is the -p option in iqtree2 = Fail Of possible note - the order of words that worked is similar to the order of words on the command line / in code. 010

Reposted by Eric EdsingerTitus Brown @titus.idyll.org · 23/02/2025I spent some time cleaning up my repo demonstrating how to use the NCBI Datasets REST API to do automated and/or bulk retrieval of genomes, by accession or by taxonomy. It's not super well documented but it does all seem to work :).

Eric Edsinger @000generic.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Dendraster excentricus 1-day juvenile - with adult sand used to induce metamorphosis from a swimming pluteus larva yesterday. Tube feet for walking and spines for protection - speed is 4x. Sand dollars and sea urchins are closely-related - you can see it in the young juveniles. 051
Eric Edsinger @000generic.bsky.social · 30/01/2025Echinoderm echinoid Dendraster excentricus sand dollars! 11-day old larvae competent for settlement and metamorphosis - and mid-metamorphosis juveniles with larval arms still present - and skeletal rods poking out! I was pipetting them and they stuck themselves to the glass with their tube feet. 192

Eric Edsinger @000generic.bsky.social · 29/01/2025Pteropod gastropod mollusc - the sea angel Clione limacina! Collected off the UW FHL docks today. A tiny one - slightly bigger than a grain of rice. Imaging on a microscope is tough - lighting and movement are challenges - need to develop a rig for swimming zooplankton / small pelagic animals! 080

Eric Edsinger @000generic.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Crustacean larva! Scooped up off the floating dock at UW FHL marine field station today. So much structural engineering. Great transparency! 1-2 inches ? It collapsed the legs to form a trailing tail when swimming - little nubbin body at the front. 1498
