SILVAdb 138_2 is now my default. Here's the head-head-comparison of GreenGenes2 and Silva138 output

(note: GG2 on bottom was generated from qiime2 classifier, while silva138_2 was generated with mothur)

PSA the @GreenGenes2 database still does not have Chloroplast or Mitochondrial taxonomic classifications entered. This may impact your analyses, especially with plant- or host-derived microbiome data.

The maintainers know (bit.ly/40mBuyN), but haven't updated as of 4:40 pm 27/10/2024

Hi @wking, Thanks for the ping, regrettably not yet. It is very high on my list of items to address. Best, Daniel

A quirk in the US visa system has my LP living with my parents on her own. She gets to recreate my teenage years by going to a concert and having to tiptoe back into the house after just experiencing a force of nature, specifically Serena Ryder: youtu.be/iRmv8wcp8RI?...

My colleague Ben Mueller and I have new 🧪 stories out about the brain. Ben writes about an implant that allows someone with ALS to talk. I write about how a quarter of unresponsive people with brain injuries might actually capable of sustained cognition. Ben: nyti.ms/4cnatO5 Me: nyti.ms/4dntRfd
A.L.S. Stole His Voice. A.I. Retrieved It.
In an experiment that surpassed expectations, implants in a patient’s brain were able to recognize words he tried to speak, and A.I. helped produce sounds that came close to matching his true voice.

Congratulations to the class of 2024! You've endured a lot and deserve praise for your grit. Your degree will provide you the basis for a lifetime of learning, and hopefully you picked up some dance moves along the way.

Time to celebrate with friends and family!

Can it be said that Microsoft Teams has more issues than the entire Marvel comics catalogue?

Are we, the paying customers, also the beta-testers or what?

My first formal debate! My partner, Dr. Leo Green, and I gave the audience whiplash. What fun!

Leo convinced me of the role of professors in facilitating the AI-human interface.

But, I remain concerned that the disruptive potential of AI is not being taken seriously enough at universities.

Useful tip on saving yourself or someone else after falling through ice. Always nice to watch other people calmly fuss about in ice-cold water.
