Looking for recommendations: what if there were an audio version of something like the Small Things Considered blog? Do you have fave YT / podcast / science audio files for microbiology / microbial ecology? #mevoSky #microSky #scienceSky 🦠 📻 I want to learn science screen-free. <3

#mevosky #microsky is there a resource that provides mock library samples, to include as positive controls in sequencing projects? I'm aware of NITE in Japan that provides purified genomic template of individual microbial isolates. Any others, pref in the US?

Any #ArchaeaSky #mevoSky folks know of a publication describing 16S amplicon Illumina sequence of a mock library including archaea? I have this v helpful paper by Schirmer et al, but it's V4 only; hoping for V3-V4 or similar, to test species level taxonomic resolution. doi.org/10.1093/nar/gku1341
