Our neighbours’ beech trees appear sturdy and serene in the february sunshine of the Vale of Clwyd, marking a boundary as they have done for a hundred years or more. But appearances can deceptive. In this pic one has already been lost in the line during a storm a year or two ago. Below them out of the picture the next two down in the line were felled by storm Darragh last month. None of them are secure.

Our new dataset is out, paper coming soon (hopefully 😅)

Pruning the tree: Comparing OTUs and ASVs for processing HTS 5S-IGS data

Testing two pipelines for bulk DNA sorting: MOTHUR, we used so far to sort our plethora of spacer variants
(Piredda et al. 2021 dx.doi.org/10.1111/1755-0998.1 |Cardoni et al. 2022 dx.doi.org/10.1111/tpj.15601 | Denk et al. 2024 dx.doi.org/10.3372/wi.54.54301) vs. DADA2

Spoiler and summary: less tips, more fun

A classic, my first paper on #beech #genetics getting a RG-#milestone: 1000 reads for "The #evolutionary history of #Fagus in western Eurasia: Genes, morphology and the #fossil record" RG added #reticulate #evolution, suppressed #speciation, could say that.

dx.doi.org/10.1007/s0060602000

Low impact? Enduring research still (obviously) worth a read over 20 yrs later 😎

PS Still happy with it. But wouldn't just use a tree anymore for #phylogenetics
