Haha! That’s epic 😂😂

That's so cool!! Unrelated: the thermocycler in our lab is called Katy Perry, and it was inspired by your lab! :)

Astrobiology Revealed #25: Alfonso Davila — SAGANet In this issue of Astrobiology Revealed, we interviewed Alfonso Davila, a Research Scientist in the Exobiology Branch at NASA Ames Research Center. We asked Alfonso about a new web-based tool designed ...

In the newest Astrobiology Revealed for SAGANet, Alfonso Davila describes the Life Detection Knowledge Base and how the scientific community can use it to plan future life detection missions.

Improved maximum growth rate prediction from microbial genomes by integrating phylogenetic information - Nature Communications Microbial maximum growth rates vary widely across species, and their measurement is challenging, especially for uncultivated organisms. Here, Xu, Zakem & Weissman present Phydon, a framework for g...

Efficient and robust search of microbial genomes via phylogenetic compression Nature Methods - Phylogenetic compression achieves performant and lossless compression of massive collections of microbial genomes, facilitating fast BLAST-like search and versatile alignment tasks.

Our latest paper, in which @brinda.eu (along with @zaminiqbal.bsky.social and others) introduces phylogenetic compression for storage and search of enormous microbial genome libraries, was published today in @naturemethods.bsky.social:

This is so cool! Do you have plans to do something like this online? I would benefit greatly from it, and I am sure many others!

Last year, I joined the #ImaginingScienceWorkshop, where we had just one day to write a flash fiction story. I came up with this #microbe sci-fi piece—check it out! 🦠✨

Don’t miss the author’s notes on the science behind it.

This is so exciting!!

Here’s a suggested itinerary to help you plan:

Thank you! 😊

It’s my first time at this conference! If you’re an #astrobiology person or do other(worldly) cool stuff, let’s connect! #AGU24
