📣 New bacterial order name change alert!

🦠 The uncultivated alphaproteobacterial order (formerly TMED127) is now "Methylaequorales" in @seqcode.bsky.social

This moment from our latest episode with science writer @edyong209.bsky.social is 🔥

We asked Ed — how do we talk up the benefits of science in the face of government cuts? He told us that's the wrong approach. 🧪

Today's assassination of al-Sharif and four other Al Jazeera staff brings the number of journalists killed by Israel to 237.

Blue dots are UN aid distribution sites that existed in Gaza before the IDF and US mercenaries took over the process and blocked the UN.

Yellow squares are current sites.

The current system is aid theater and has created killing fields where dozens of aid seekers are killed every single day.

Is there another way to BLAST the entire NCBI-nr database using a server other than NCBI?

I tried ENA browser SSS & it’s taking hours for a single protein.

Broader question: are there contingency plans being made by international bioinformatics community in case NCBI is no longer supported?

This is such a loss. I've served on the selection committee for this program for the past three years, because it has funded so many incredible people doing such important research over the years. It should be expanding to meet the new challenges of climate change, but instead is totally defunded.

What a great tool.
Check out sandpiper. It's taxonomy based, not 16S based, but likely good enough for your needs. Estimates relative abundance. And its fast. sandpiper.qut.edu.au

Marine microbial ecology folks: if I have (full length) 16S rRNA gene sequences for bacteria of interest, how can I determine relative abundance of the bacterium of interest in surface open ocean seawater (ideally at multiple sampling sites)? Are there any web tools that will do this?
