I have a new paper in the new Open Access journal Gigascience: GigaScience | Full text | Badomics words and the power and peril of the ome-meme. It is basically a text version of my obsession with #badomics words.
It was inspired by a paper also in this first issue of Gigascience The Biological Observation Matrix (BIOM) format or: how I learned to stop worrying and love the ome-ome by Daniel McDonald, Jose C Clemente, Justin Kuczynski, Jai Rideout, Jesse Stombaugh, Doug Wendel, Andreas Wilke, Susan Huse, John Hufnagle, Folker Meyer, Rob Knight, and J Caporaso.
For more on my obsession with badomics words see some of these earlier posts:

Instead, it is one passage on page 165 that is critical:
Surely, the book is about parthenogenesis -- that is, asexual reproduction, rather than pathogenesis, no? I know that's irrelevant to the point being made but…
that I will assign to "an editing mistake ..." ... gonna have to get that fixed ...
Deletealthough I note my statement is technically correct --- " but it is not a fascination with pathogenesis that has kept the book in the limelight for almost 100 years."
