Ph.D. defended and the long read journey ends in frozen lands.
Deep thanks to @sanslan.bsky.social and @tedersoo.bsky.social. Special thanks to @owenwangensteen.bsky.social for a demanding and fair defence as the main opponent.
Thanks to all @myco-microbio.bsky.social members for their support.

EUKARYOME v2.0 reference database now available. A major release including >300,000 new eDNA reads with metadata, quality-screened ROD (meta)genome DB, and updated fungal higher-level taxonomy (following the Mycokeys paper).
Download at: eukaryome.org/download/
New fungal phylum-level system, with red font indicating novel taxa and size taxonomic diversity.
Fungal phylum-level classification update now available! Used "innovative taxonomy" to describe >100 taxa, from species to phylum, based on long reads, characteristic nucleotides and env-samples.
