We’re running two intensive training courses in the next couple weeks, and we’d love to see you there!

Next week, it’s an Intro. to Scientific Computing, and the following week it’s an Intro. to Python.

More details here: www.york.ac.uk/biology/tech...

Well done, Sophia! 🎉
Really excited to be offered place on the Peer Ladder Mentorship programme in Leadership for Digital Research Professionals @elixiruknode.org fully funded by discourse-network.github.io/projects/1-1...

New publication just out that the group contributed to, assembling and annotating a genome of the destructive plant pathogen Pythium aphanidermatum, with @katherinedenby.bsky.social. A tricky one to assemble, with a significant amount of repeats.

Pathogenicity and Genome Assembly of a Pythium aphanidermatum Isolate Causing Damping‐Off in Amaranth in Controlled Environment Agriculture
We isolated Pythium aphanidermatum causing damping-off in amaranth seedlings with genome assembly and annotation highlighting a variety of cell wall-degrading enzymes.

Did you know about these tiny shiny ants (red arrow) living with wood ants (blue arrow)? They are Shining Guest Ants (Formicoxenus) and we have recently discovered that a wood ant nest can be home to several genetically distinct colonies of these 'guests'! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author... 1/5

Another great TSN meeting. Very encouraging to see how active the UK RTP community is. @ukri.org @uk-itss.bsky.social @tech-commit.bsky.social

An interesting and important paper just out, that the group contributed significantly to, on the fascinating shining guest ant and its genetic diversity in English (RHS on plots) and Scottish (LHS on plots) populations. Led by @elvarobinson.bsky.social.
