For sponge folks still on Twitter:
here is a bluesky starter pack for you, made by @JoanaRXavier !

As many others already did for obvious reasons, I've decided to move at benoitpaix.bsky.social, to enjoy a better fresh air where the sky is blue🦋 See you all there.

Dynamics, diversity, and roles of bacterial transmission modes during the first asexual life stages of the freshwater sponge Spongilla lacustris dlvr.it/T82xWn
Guess what? Like for humans, the transmitted sponge maternal microbiome plays an essential role in the holobiont balance during the ontogeny of the juveniles. Check out the dispersion without epibacterial microbiome (-EM) during the first stages!

Virtual Training - Bioinformatics was held at the IHTM from May 31 to June 6. Training was led by Dr Clarisse Lemonnier @INRAE_France.
During the training, participants learned the principles of the DADA2 pipeline, and how to process DNA reads to get an ASV table.
