Problems and progress in getting molluscan 🐌 genome assemblies, new paper out 🎺. Although the publication was much delayed, we recently redid the analysis, finding that actually not much has improved 😔 #genomics #snails #molluscs

Graph shows total number of reference genome assemblies for three phyla, arthropods, chordates and molluscs. There are many fewer assemblies for molluscs.

Macro shot of a dazzling, shimmering web of slime between pine needles and grasses.  ( Perhaps fairies and goblins live here too. )

These are snails on a palm seedling. Camouflage not their strong point obviously.

Lots of tiny white-shelled snails are clinging tight to the spears of a fan type palm. There are probably around a hundred. Their lack of colour obviously helps to some of the intense heating effect of the sun. Do the leaves themselves help with the cooling process? And why don't they crawl into the shade?
