Major milestone unlocked for mycology! 🍄

We just published a massive genomic resource in 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚, releasing 2,695 complete circular mitochondrial species assembled from public data

This single dataset nearly 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐒 📈the known mitochondrial diversity of the Kingdom Fungi

#MeetTheLab

@msabrysarhan.bsky.social works on his postdoc (joint w/ #EURAC) on ancient diet & microbiomes.

How to overcome failure in science?
I like a lot what Robert Frost said: "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."

Always a very nice milestone: @ammarabdalrahem.bsky.social has printed his PhD thesis on reproductive mode polymorphism in the #poplar #rust #fungus.
Congratulations Ammar 👏👏👏

Just got back from an amazing week at @isba11.bsky.social in Torino!
Still can't believe I won the Future Fellows Prize for the best talk - what a highlight!
But honestly, the best part was connecting with other Egyptian researchers in the bioarchaeology and aDNA world.
@isbarchaeology.bsky.social

From one great ISBA team to the next — thank you to our past organizers for building such a strong and connected community!

And that’s a wrap! Congratulations to the entire ISBA community for a successful ISBA11!

What a week! 🎉 Big thanks to @isba11.bsky.social for hosting an incredible ISBA conference — so well organized and full of great science.

Toda a equipe da Al Jazeera em Gaza foi morta por ataque israelense direcionado contra uma tenda de jornalistas diante do hospital Al-Shifa. Entre os mortos está Anas al-Sharif, que aparece abaixo em encontro com a filha em março

Anas Al-Sharif pictured with his two young children that he is holding. They are all smiling.

Anas Al-Sharif was one of the most remarkable reporters of his generation. For 673 days, he defied Israeli threats to kill him.

Al Jazeera now confirm their crew in Gaza City have all been assassinated:

RIP reporters Anas Al-Sharif & Mohammed Qareqea and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher & Mohammed Nofal

Israel Issues Evacuation Order for New Area in Gaza The attack occurred after the Israeli military had told Palestinians to leave an area where many have sought refuge and warned that it may expand operations.

Breaking News: Israeli troops killed more than 60 Palestinians after crowds gathered near a border crossing where aid trucks enter, Gaza officials said.

Systematic mediation and interaction analyses of kidney function genetic loci in a general population study Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complex disease affecting >10% of the global population, with large between- and within-continent variability reflecting major environmental determinants.

Exploring the potential of dental calculus to shed light on past human migrations in Oceania - Nature Communications Preservation of oral microbiome ancient DNA from Oceania is much better than human ancient DNA. The authors leverage this to demonstrate that oral microbial community composition in Oceania is not onl...

The final chapter of my PhD thesis is finally out! Led by the brilliant Irina Velsko, we investigated if we can study past migrations in Oceania using #aDNA from archaeological dental calculus: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
