New paper out! We continue our work on the hyperhalophilic microbial communities of the Danakil Depression (Ethiopia) using metagenomics. We have studied hypersaline lakes with strong geothermal influence, such as the Western Canyon Lakes (WCL). https://t.co/IZIEU92uJu

AleRax is 10x faster 🚀 than ALE, but just as accurate. It can also infer a species tree 🌲 and, most importantly, process gene families in parallel to estimate lineage specific DTL parameters 🎄 for genome-scale datasets with 100s of taxa.

Need an up-to-date #TreeofLife for teaching/conferences/wall paper? Talented PhD student @BasileBeaud drew a schematic consensus ToL from the most recently published phylogenies. Hope this is useful! Downloadable version in the thread👇
