Have the giant transposons Starships 🚀 been influential in the domestication of filamentous fungi??? doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… @GenEcoEvo @IdeevL

In all our results suggest that Starships play a major role in the rapid adaptation of filamentous fungi to human-impacted environments. This adds to the rapidly growing body of evidence that rapid adaptation in many cases has its roots in Starship cargo acquisition.

Lastly (unrelated to adaptation), a MYB/SANT domain containing gene with a structurally conserved position in a subset of Starships...close to the opposite edge of the captain. i.e. Captain in front at the bridge and the MYB/SANT at the back in the engine room.

🔴New paper online! I am super happy 2 share our latest story on the Domestication of a Non-Saccharomyces yeast journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms… Structural variants are an excellent way to rapidly adapt 2 fermentative environments (like what S.cerevisiae does)😃 @pablovilla81 @ibiochile

It is finally out, an important step forward of our 2017 NG paper towards a pangenome view of S.c. global diversity based on #T2T assemblies! Great collaboration with @SAMtoBAM @G__Fischer @liti_nice @jo_schacherer and many others! nature.com/articles/s4158…

from @niceyeastlab side, many thanks to @iAmphioxus for pushing the project (with @SAMtoBAM) @iYeast_jingli for generating the resource, @MatNamo @lorenzotattini for many population structure & pangenome analysis, @ANR @FRM_officiel @Univ_CotedAzur @ircaninstitute for support

Happy to share our most recent preprint 'Domestication signatures in the non-conventional yeast Lachancea cidri' biorxiv.org/content/10.110…' Msg: Nanopore-seq revealed that structural variants are a fast alternative to adapt to fermentation environments Work done by: @pablovilla81

@JCVenter @TonyH_Futurist @PeterDiamandis Is this a parody account?

@TonyH_Futurist @PeterDiamandis While there has been great progress in sequencing technology the first genome that my team did had to be independently assembled as there was no prior reference. Todays genome sequences cannot be independently assembled without a reference genome.

In 2001 Craig Venter sequenced his genome in 9 months (6,480 hrs) for $100 m. This year a new record was set, sequencing a single genome in 7 hours for only $100 cc @PeterDiamandis Sequencing the genome will be a major part of #personalized nutrition #foodfuturist #futureoffood

Testing out slow5tools fast5 to blow5 conversion and enjoying this little message. (and the ~35% reduction in file size)
