A 3D micro-CT scan of ant Ctenobethylus goepperti encased in amber
Hey bsky! I’d like to share some cool work I recently coauthored that integrates entomology, paleontology, and German cultural history. 🔶🐜⚡️ We discovered a fossil ant in the amber collection of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe! Read on for a delightful story of #museomics and #collectomics. >> 1/

Huge thanks to my PhD supervisor (@marta-fb.bsky.social) and collaborators (Xi Wang, Carla Canedo-Ribeiro, Lucía Álvarez-González, @thednazoo.bsky.social, @aruizherrera.bsky.social, Rasmus Heller, and Tony King).

The description of P. efatra also involved some #museomics and comparative osteology, to resolve the identity of the highly similar P. tetra. @alicepetzold.bsky.social managed to get DNA sequence from the holotype and a paratype, so we could place them in a mitochondrial tree—far from P. efatra! 🐸🧪
What a course!🧬🦣
Thanks to this amazing team of instructors @claudiafontsere.bsky.social @jazminrm.bsky.social & @hernmoral.bsky.social for delivering such a great first edition of the #Museomics course.
Thanks to everyone who has joined us this week and good luck with your data!💯
Los herbarios 🌿son auténticas máquinas del tiempo: gracias a la digitalización y la IA, la #colectómica (uso masivo de datos de colecciones biológicas digitalizadas) revela cómo ha cambiado la #biodiversidad y ayuda a anticipar su futuro:

We are extremely happy to have kicked off this first edition of the #Museomics course with @hernmoral.bsky.social @claudiafontsere.bsky.social & @jazminrm.bsky.social and a great group of participants working on very different systems!

How do you sequence the nearly unsequenceable?
Using #myBaits targeted enrichment, researchers recovered DNA from rare, historical darkling beetles–reshaping our understanding of Eurynotina evolution.

akub Tetla exploring the Lepidoptera collection at Lund University.
Jakub worked with @jadrankarota.bsky.social and @lepphylo.bsky.social, applying DNA sequencing to degraded specimens and integrating collection data into phylogenomic studies.
Congratulations, Jakub!🦋🧬

Jakub Tetla preparing a database of butterflies that will be used in the study, based on museum collections.
🚀 Second STSM of 10kLepGenomes!
Jakub Tetla (Jagiellonian Univ., Poland) visited @jadrankarota.bsky.social (Lund, Sweden) from 24–26 Sept 2025.
The goal was to integrate museum collections with phylogenomics to study West Palearctic tiger moths.

Off to AES 2025 in Brisbane to talk Neobatrachus! Records suggest both tetraploids can show up in Queensland. After three years with their specimens in Germany, the idea of seeing them in person feels a bit like meeting long-distance friends IRL 🐸 #Neobatrachus #amphibian #museomics
Flash-frozen tissues are considered the gold standard for DNA—but our analysis of field-collected samples found surprising degradation.
Preserving in buffer before freezing may be more robust in real-world conditions.

Dental calculus deposits on the teeth of a plains zebra (Equus quagga) specimen housed at the Royal Museum for Central Africa, Belgium.
New paper out! doi.org/10.1111/1755...
Dental calculus allows us to study the oral microbiome of wild #mammals, but it's still underutilised! 🦷🦠
In this study, we recover oral #microbiome data from the dental calculus of 32 mammal species and share recommendations for future research.

#PacBio #ULI #HiFi sequencing goes clinical:
Really cool paper showing that Ultra-low input (ULI) HiFi sequencing can help cancer diagnostics.
Only emphasizes how interdisciplinary the ULI field is ( #museomics, #single-cell #sequencing, #diagnostics etc)

I had the huge opportunity to share the preliminary results of my research project during the "ancient biomolecules and museums" session at ISBA11. What a great honor! 🥰

Poster presentation at ESEB 2025
Poster titled 'The Evolution of the Mammalian Oral Microbiome'
Thanks to everyone who stopped by my poster for your thoughful questions, remarks and suggestions (all duly noted)!
If you didn’t get to see it and are interested in wild animal #microbiomes 🦠🦷 or #museomics 🦴🧬, I’m posting it here -- an attempt to artificially extend its lifespan! #ESEB2025
Examples of dental calculus in different mammalian species ranked by amount from 0 (no calculus) to 3 (full incrustation)
Fantastic dental calculus and where to find it
Johnny Richards and team (@markella-morait.bsky.social + curators from 5 museums) survey >140 mammalian species with >1,600 specimens to understand what factors determine dental calculus formation. #aDNA #museomics

It looks like the @eseb2025.bsky.social #museomics symposium was a great success. If you want to learn more about the analysis of genomics data derived from natural history collection, we only have 4 seats left for our course in Nov.

Illumina short read whole genome sequencing can work well even with degraded insect material, a study on Diptera collections at the Royal Museum for Central Africa shows.

Full capacity session, there is a wait to join session
People getting turned away from #museomics session! Full house! #eseb2025
Great to see Tom Gilbert still holding the #microbiome flag high, focusing mostly on why we need to study wildlife microbiomes more, even in the #museomics session. 🦠
