ALT Two researchers kneel on a river pontoon behind a large white bucket of brown river water. A boat and water can be seen in the background.
Here is a #DNA#quantification question - has anybody experience using a "NanoReady Touch"?
Asking bc we need a DNA/RNA quantification unit, and this was has been offered to us at a good price point.

Digging in the literature, there is a recent comparison, but only of #DeNovix, #NanoDrop, #Qubit:
journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…
-DeNovix & NanoDrop DNA concentrations were 3-4x that of Qubit
-DNA purity matters: with pure DNA (A260/280 = 1.7 - 2.0), the ratio was close or equal to 2
A 2015 paper concludes:
-NanoDrop & Fragment Analyzer showed the highest concentrations; TapeStation often the lowest.
- For dsDNA oligos, TapeStation, Bioanalyzer and Qubit1 gave most accurate concentrations. At very low DNA (2–4 pg/ml) Bioanalyzer wins. doi.org/10.1016/j.fsigss.201…
A collaborative effort to preserve nomenclatural & taxonomic congruence:
"Description of Asgardarchaeum abyssi gen. nov. spec. nov., a novel species within the class Asgardarchaeia and phylum #Asgardarchaeota in accordance with the #SeqCode" led by @DanielTamarit & @Ettema_lab
Another reason why we should take plastic pollution seriously 😐
A Raman spectroscopy study found #microplastic in semen from all tested individuals, with PS, PE, and PVC being the most prevalent!

Many researchers including myself assumed that a @biorender publication license meant one could publish in any kind of journal including open access journals. However, the academic license forbids publishing CC BY implicitly. So how many papers are affected? 1/
#Microbialecologists! The #ISME19 abstract submission deadline is fast approaching. To be part of the scientific program, please submit by Friday 23 February.
Join your peers and share your research in Cape Town, 18-23 August!
