Sooo happy to finally have this one published!! (3 years in the making… 👀) A comprehensive investigation into the recency and geographical origins of both SARS-CoVs that spilled to humans in the past few decades, now in @cp-cell.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
The recency and geographical origins of the bat viruses ancestral to SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2
Recombination-aware evolutionary analyses of the entire genomes of SARS-CoV-1-like
and SARS-CoV-2-like viruses indicate that SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 descend from bat
coronaviruses that circulated as...

Tools like bowtie assume that a space on your fasta header is the end of the header and will trim it out, which is annoying if you have pair-end sequencing. Although bowtie has its own command to avoid this, a good practice could be replacing spaces with '_', this can be done using awk or sed.
1/ Ever spent an hour debugging...
only to realize it was the FASTA header that broke everything?
Yeah. Me too.

My replies are perpetually full of anti-vaxxers these days telling me about polio vaccines.
Not shockingly, most of what they are saying is wrong. Luckily, I trained with Vincent Racaniello & he taught me a few things about poliovirus.
So let’s discuss the king of the Picornaviridae👇🏻
