One of my Master's projects has finally been published. It's been such a great experience to be mentored and guided by @LabDavalos and @biomosa to make this work possible. If you want to learn about 🦇 and their immune system, have a look at our paper here frontiersin.org/articles/10.… – at Lubbock, TX

In 1992 Peter Ratcliffe received this rejection from Nature.
Almost 30 years later he won the Nobel Prize for the same discovery.
Don't lose faith in the things you believe in.

Popular methods like UMAP & t-SNE are stochastic and distort data structure.
Bonsai - a novel method - builds trees to relate high-dimensional objects, accounting for measurement noise.

Interested in target capture sequencing?
@madiraibullock and I are happy to announce a new service at TTU. Send us DNA, get reads enriched for your probes. Angiosperms353, GoFLAG, Compositae1061 & more!
Funds go to grad student stipends and tuition!

We provide targeted DNA sequencing for $30/sample for Angiosperms353, GoFLAG408, and other probe sets. Funds from our service go to fund a graduate student who is running the samples. We can use as little as 100 ng of DNA in 30 uL and provide at least 1 million reads per sample from a NovaSeq6000 SP 2x250 Illumina sequencing.

Some of you have been waiting for this moment.....all lecture recordings including remote sensing and downloads of this years #Animove are online now. 🥳 Happy Learning ! @MPI_animalbehav @safilabmpi animove.org/lecture-recordin…
Two weeks ago, I presented at the 52nd #NASBR meeting and won the Karl F. Koopman award! It was nerve-wracking because of all the bat experts in the audience, but I made it!

How fast do our roe deer recover after capture and tagging? Thanks to Jonas Stiegler we could show that these effects diminish within 4-7 days in 42 mammal species and even more quickly for animals in high human activity areas

How did we lose our tail? A simple question.. but it wasn't really asked before! We discovered a plausible scenario for the genetic mechanism that led to tail loss. Amazing that such a big change may have been caused by such a small genetic event. nature.com/articles/s41586-0… @BoXia7
