In metatranscriptomics, we are not just asking:
What genes exist?
We are asking:
What is the microbial community actively doing right now?

Working on our metatranscriptomics paper on montane soil fungal communities of NW Yunnan comes with an unexpected benefit: an excuse to browse photographs of oak and fir forests, Rhododendron woodlands, and alpine meadows that most mycologists will never visit in the field.

After 3 months of zero programming, I used Code (opus 4.1) for 30 mins in an airport to create a kallisto-based metatranscriptomics workflow, then with an hour of laptop battery left on the plane, completed debugging, execution on my data, and some method verification.
Before Code, this would be 2 days to de-rust myself and 1-2 weeks to implement. After progress from Opus 4.1 -> 4.6, I get these savings for basically anything I work on.
