You can get an accurate estimate of total bacterial biomass from stool metagenomes by simply normalizing by host read count, without needing any additional measurements. Excellent work by UW Master's student Gechlang Tang in @asm.org #mSystems Journal. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/... 🧵

Metagenomic estimation of absolute bacterial biomass in the mammalian gut through host-derived read normalization | mSystems
In this study, we asked whether normalization by host reads alone was sufficient to estimate absolute bacterial biomass directly from stool metagenomic data, without the need for synthetic spike-ins, ...

Hei kaikki! Minä ja pieni joukko tutkijaystäviä olemme lähdössä elokuussa Turun saaristoon etsimään harvinaisia bakteereita saarten maaperästä. Tutkimusmatkamme on kumivenettä vailla. Olisiko kellään lainata/vuokrata kumivenettä elokuun ensimmäiseksi viikoksi tutkimusmatkallemme?

Hallituksen kriteerit luonnontilaisista ja vanhoista metsistä eivät hidasta luontokatoa suomalaisissa metsissä. Suojelupäätösten tulee perustua tieteeseen. Näin lausuimme vanhojen metsien kriteereistä viime kesänä. Hallitus pitää aiemmat kriteerit kritiikistä huolimatta. yle.fi/a/74-20148157

Yle näki lopulliset kriteerit vanhojen metsien suojeluun – kova kritiikki ei näytä kääntäneen hallituksen päätä
Hallitus ei ole muuttanut ikää ja kuolleen puun määrää koskevia rajoja, joiden perusteella vanhat metsät valikoidaan suojeluun.

Here's a great idea for a gift to self or others: Through Finnish natural heritage foundation, you can buy old-growth boreal forest of pristine bog land to protection. It's a no-nonsense charity that uses 100% of donations in buying land back to nature luonnonperintosaatio.fi/en/

Through the Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation, every friend of nature can personally be part of the work for the conservation of old-growth forests.

This is my absolute favorite piece of recent research and I'm hyped to see it out! So amazing to see how human microbiomes live within the ecological landscape structured by a social network of one single village! Ecosystems nested within social sytsems www.nature.com/articles/s41...
