Congrats, Ralf et al! :)

it was a pleasure, Gary!

cool paper, congrats!
have you considered naming it under the @seqcode.bsky.social instead of calling it a Candidatus which has no priority?

Mein Beileid, liebe Sigrid. Fühl dich gedrückt.

I also got only one spot here… they are really rare unfortunately…

did you buy them or „hunt“ them? ;)

Congrats, Matt! Can‘t wait to see your latest results! Hopefully some new cool tools :)

We once collaborated with another lab by analyzing metagenomes (create MAGs, analyze the metabol. etc). The PI asked me for a conversation during which he explained to me that the work we do is technical & no real contribution. He does not consider bioinformatics science. Never worked w/ him again.

There exist some metrics that do not consider multi-author papers even though someone is corresponding/first/last author. Itms these metrics that probably make people reduce the number of authors. Yet, I think this is bs & as long as someone has made a genuine contribution they should be an author.

Take a photo with your iphone and you can copy from the photo!
(it’s a 16S rRNA seq of an uncultivated archaeon)

We never thought of giving the method a name. maybe we should have.
the project went by the name „shit show“ though 😅
