You select the isolates, we sequence the genomes — for free! 🧬
Inspired by @ISMPMI #MPMI2027, we’re pleased to announce that the latest @GetGenome Call for Projects is now open!
@GetGenome “Road to Jeju” 2026 getgenome.net/callforproject…

I just published: How do we recognize world-class science? Not by the journal it appeared in
What I told early-career researchers about prediction, rigour, failure, priors — and the tyranny of bar graphs.
Science predicts. Pseudoscience doesn’t.
Twenty-nine years
How to science, and how not to
What’s a failed experiment?
Death by statistics
Ditch the bar graphs
Get credit for all of it

#GGRoadToJeju2026 invites applications from the global research community to sequence the genomes of plant-associated microorganisms — including pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria, fungi and oomycetes.
📅 Apply by 2 November 2026 getgenome.net/callforproject…

AI in Genomics workshop!
@GetGenome @TheSainsburyLab on how AI can be used across genomics — from working with genomic data to protein structure prediction, biological discovery and developing new research questions.

We just published: Fold on Tight — 10 lessons on AI structure prediction
Andy Posbe @adnroide turned our ten lessons on AI structure prediction into a thread. Here it is, one lesson at a time.

Talks for early career researchers
A menu of short, opinionated talks on how science actually works — skills, publishing, open science, statistics, integrity and evolution. Most grew out of blog posts. They run short by design, because the discussion afterwards is the point.

I just published: I turned somebody else’s supplementary table into a website
The science was open. Supplementary Table S4 was a Word file.

Circuit boards made from living bacteria.
Strains are engineered to act as N- or P-type transistors. Other strains pass around the signals, which are molecules instead of electrons.
These strains are then printed on a plate, using a liquid handler, to build any logic you want.

I just published: We still publish one paper at a time. Nobody reads science that way anymore
Publishing is stuck in one mode. Reading has already changed.

New paper from lab in @naturesustainab
A global atlas of soil microbial genetic resources exposes protection shortfalls.
Fewer than 25% of hotspots for soil microbial genetic resources fall within designated protected areas
