@hifmb.de advertised 5 post-doc positions to work on social science / basic science interface, and here is a blog post to tell you why I care about this, and what it looks like: merenlab.org/blog/HIPP-on... Please spread the word if you can.

An archaeal genetic code with all TAG codons as pyrrolysine
Multiple genetic codes developed during the evolution of eukaryotes and bacteria, yet no alternative genetic code is known for archaea. We used proteomics to confirm our prediction that certain archae...

What a missed opportunity... 🤔 We should have declared an official "Archaeal Week" at Nature Communications! 😆 www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41... #Archaea #ArchaeaSky 🦠

I am very happy (and anxious) to share with you our most recent work in which we evaluated four of the most popular long-read assemblers, www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... and tell you just a little bit about it in the following 🧵

Assemblies of long-read metagenomes suffer from diverse errors
Genomes from metagenomes have revolutionised our understanding of microbial diversity, ecology, and evolution, propelling advances in basic science, biomedicine, and biotechnology. Assembly algorithms...

I’m very excited to finally share the results of a passion project that has been on my mind for nearly a decade. You can find the pre-print below, but what follows is the saga of how this project came to be:

Sporadic distribution of a new archaeal genetic code with all TAG codons as pyrrolysine
Numerous genetic codes developed during the evolution of Eukaryotes and three are known in Bacteria, yet no alternative genetic code has been established for Archaea. Some bacterial and archaeal prote...
