EP's "brutal violence in Iran" is dangerously misleading. This is state-orchestrated massacre reaching genocide thresholds — not mere violence. Cited by The Sunday Times (Jan 17–18, 2026), estimates ≥16,500 killed, >330,000 injured, and >8,000 blinded/severe eye injuries. iranintl.com/en/202601186040

🧬 Long-read metabarcoding is powerful, but chimera filters can trash good reads. Our new study benchmarks three algorithms on full-length ITS and shows how false positives distort results. 🔗 peerj.com/articles/20456/ #Metabarcoding #LongRead #Bioinformatics #Chimeras

Long-read amplicon sequencing has enabled us to return to full-length DNA barcodes, which benefit from the higher taxonomic resolution in metabarcoding-based biodiversity studies. However, chimeric...

Are you working with environmental samples? Watch out—Malassezia has a sneaky way of creeping into samples and contaminating DNA extractions. Its presence can be misleading. A vigilant eye is essential when interpreting results. #yeast #skin #human #ocean doi.org/10.1128/mbio.01142-2…

Malassezia in environmental studies is derived from human inputs | mBio

Malassezia is the singular fungus most associated with humans. It colonizes mammalian skin and requires host-derived fatty acids to grow. Widespread sequencing of environmental DNA surprisingly...

🚨 Stop chasing the p-value! Increasing your sample size will always yield a significant result. Even for trivial differences. 🎮 I created a little interactive playground to illustrate this issue: react-graph-gallery.com/exam… Always pair p-values with effect sizes!
