20+ years on #Linux, 🧬🖥️ #bioinformatics pipelines daily - and one relaxed moment running a colleague's script nearly wiped my $HOME 😅 Here's how a silent cd+rm combo escaped my project dir, the original script was quite tangled, but it hid this construct [ ⚠️ danger zone, don't run 🔥 ]
Terminal screenshot showing a minimal bash loop demo: starting in $HOME/project, a for loop runs cd subdir (which fails if missing), then rm * in the current directory, followed by cd .., so on the next iteration it climbs to $HOME and rm * risks deleting files there.

Fungal phylum-level classification update now available! Used "innovative taxonomy" to describe >100 taxa, from species to phylum, based on long reads, characteristic nucleotides and env-samples.

Who lives underground?

Find out now in our new paper published in @nature.com.

Key finding: 90% of predicted mycorrhizal biodiversity hotspots lie outside protected areas.

AM fungi are vital for plants but their global richness remains underexplored. In our latest study, out in Fungal Ecology, we analyzed 4,733 sites, revealing 8,517 G-AMF OTUs (5–15x previous estimates) & 600 E-AMF OTUs, the first global count. Read it for free authors.elsevier.com/c/1kJ7y6ExPy...

🍄📖 Do high-impact journals lead to more fungal species discoveries? Think again! Low or even no-impact factor journals contribute significantly! Let's value research quality over impact metrics in funding and hiring decisions! Read more @MycoKeys: mycokeys.pensoft.net/article/136048
A newly discovered fungal species emerges from the open pages of a scientific book, surrounded by various lab journals and books, with research tools scattered around. The image highlights the connection between scientific discovery and publishing.
