Samples returned from the asteroid Ryugu contain all five canonical nucleobases (A, G, C, T, U). Their presence in Ryugu and Bennu supports the hypothesis that carbonaceous asteroids contributed to the prebiotic chemical inventory of early Earth. http://dlvr.it/TRWtVp ☄️

Here is a short example of how to create a phylogenetic tree like the one on the left. I use data and silhouettes provided by the ggtree package — more is coming in the next days!

thats a very interesting phylogenetic tree that reflect the avian evolution. I know its a big jump, but can we build something like this with #ggtree ?

Styling ggtree branches is easy; change color, linewidth, and linetype directly inside the ggtree() call. Works the same across rectangular, circular, and slanted layouts. Colors from the alger palette (ltc package).

thank you Trevor 😀!
More stuff related to #ggtree are coming
The cool things about ggtree don't stop here. You can use geom_text() or geom_label() to display node and tip labels simultaneously, or geom_tiplab() to show only tip labels. You can even have nodes and tips looking differently

Nice to see this published at @PLoS Comp Bio. Big improvements after peer review and important input from @gsherloc.bsky.social! Hopefully, this tool will be helpful for those interested in using barcodes for detecting new beneficial mutations.

Derived layouts build on top of those by flipping, rotating, or transforming coordinates — one extra line turns a rectangular tree into a dendrogram or an inward circular plot.
Base layouts (rectangular, slanted, circular, fan, daylight…) control the overall shape of the tree.
#ggtree has a relatively steep learning curve. But after looking at a few Python alternatives eg., toytree, ETE, Bio.Phylo it's hard to match its layout versatility. 21 tree variants with just a few lines of code.

I would just love to have a simpler way to update RStudio less frequently on macOS, Windows, and Linux, or ideally have it happen with a single click. Indeed we can discuss it over an email.
Thank you, Dirk. My statement should in no way diminish the love for R or the outstanding work the community is doing I use it every day across multiple computers.
Definitely not the biggest problem in the world right now, but constantly installing new versions of RStudio, R and R packages is getting old fast. 😤 #RStats #DataScience

5/ How standard tools behave depends on depth.
DESeq2, edgeR, limma-voom with size-factor or TMM normalization handle moderate depth differences fine. But artifacts explode when depth is very low or tightly confounded with condition.

All you want for christmas is.... transposon mutagenesis!
Our new work at @cultivarium.bsky.social screening lots of transposon vectors in lots of bacteria, from @charliegilbert.bsky.social and team.
Transposon and promoter modular parts available on Addgene (pooled library will be there soon too)
A special shout-out to the amazing people who have shaped my approach to slide design and teaching, particularly Cédric Scherer, whose work continues to inspire how I think about making complex concepts accessible and visually engaging.
