Not sure whether you should submit/register for CBSM 2026 ... aside from our stellar guest speakers, exceptional student presentations and fantastic traders, our catering all included in your registration fee and arranged by the UWA UniClub is reason enough! Submit and register here cbsmwa.au

I just recalled some older Nanopore data and started fixing the assembly when I came across a 'weird' contig. Blasting it generated a lot of almost perfect hits to 'plasmids' all across the tree of life. Turns out it was the spike in control DNA that comes with the ONT library prep kit...

Found another instance of my plasmid/virus, this time in sequencing data of Leptographium pseudotsugae, a fungal pathogen isolated from Oregon pine (Douglas fir). We're up to 11 fungal species carrying it. Still no clue what it is 🤷‍♂️

At CBSM WA in 2024 we heard from renowned parasitologist Prof Shookofeh Shamsi. Her presentation explored how overlooking parasites can lead to incomplete conclusions about biodiversity. Prof. Shamsi's vision is to create a world where professionals and public are well-informed about parasites.
