CoSMIC: A hybrid approach for large-scale, high-resolution microbial profiling of novel niches Standard microbial profiling based on 16S rRNA (16S) sequencing suffers from a lack of primer universality, primer biases, and often yields low resolution. We introduce โ€˜Comprehensive Small Ribosomalโ€ฆ

A new study from @maorknak.bsky.social and colleagues introduces CoSMIC, a hybrid sequencing strategy that improves microbial community profiling resolution and sensitivity across novel habitats versus standard 16S methods while lowering per-sample cost,.

Collecting sponges to complement my heatwave study.
Hoping to catch a real marine heatwave, but the strong mistral winds cooled things down fast. Great for the sponges, not ideal for my thermal stress data!

In 2021 (just after I found out I was pregnant), we flew to Crete to test what shapes the diversity in sponges as living hotels.
Do isolated sponges host more guests?
Four years (and a toddler) later, our Single Hotel Hypothesis paper is out!

ATLASea has just launched a new sampling campaign in one of the most iconic sites of marine biodiversity.
For the next 10 days, our team of researchers will be working around the #Endoume_Marine_Station in Marseille to collect samples of marine species from the surrounding area.

We have started yesterday a 2-weeks mission ร  Endoume marine station, to collect marine species individuals for @atlasea.bsky.social !
The perfect place for for the collection, identification and preparation of marine species samples to be sequenced... ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฆž๐Ÿชธ๐Ÿฆ€โญ๐Ÿชฑ๐Ÿงฌ
