![Phylogeny of Octocorallia with bioluminescent ancestral states. Newly time-calibrated tree adapted from McFadden et al. [19] using UCE data. Traits were defined as bioluminescent (species or genus-level record), non-bioluminescent (negative record) or unknown (no record). Taxon branches are colour coded based on known genus-level depth ranges (green, shallow < 200 m; purple, deep > 200 m; blue, shallow/deep range spans both). Ancestral depth range estimates are from electronic supplementary material, figure S4. The two major clades represent the orders Malacalcyonacea (purple) and Scleralcyonacea (pink).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rygp62vxjwmuyb4xin4uyt7z/bafkreighi7inajfb7sgdykb2cz2jpqgrzw2e6ujcsqmml6oqm7xgovb7cm@jpeg)

We found ourselves wondering why some closely related genomes had very different rates of pseudogenization, and whether those rate differences were real or not. It turns out there was a whole lot to that story, and it's finally published!
Many purported pseudogenes in bacterial genomes are bona fide genes - BMC Genomics
Background Microbial genomes are largely comprised of protein coding sequences, yet some genomes contain many pseudogenes caused by frameshifts or internal stop codons. These pseudogenes are believed ...

Who has two thumbs and wasted almost a week of work because they forgot that the default genetic code wasn’t the bacterial genetic code?

Doing bioinformatics work is basically just an endlessly repeating version of that Doctor Who meme where someone asks the Doctor ‘is 4 a lot?’ and he replies ‘Depends on the context!’ with new and exciting values and contexts.
