🦇🎣🦇 Happy to share our study on 🐟fish-eating 🦇#bats! Our findings reveal, for the first time, that Rickett's big-footed #myotis (Myotis pilosus) consumes marine fishes. It consumes more 🐠fish during the dry season, and more 🦋insects during the wet months.

Introducing cornetto, an adaptive genome assembly paradigm using @nanopore adaptive sampling. - greatly reduces cost per genome assembly - reference agnostic, so works for non-humans - assembly just using saliva - & many more Relies on 2 excellent software #readfish & #hifiasm.
