I'd like to have an overview of the general characteristics of each phyla or domain, so I can put the various microbial species I come across in context.
Dear all,
I was trying to download reference genomes with phyloskeleton, which allows me to select different phylogenetics ranks to sample and then download from NCBI. My research goes as follows, I need to develop a reference phylogenetic tree for placing novel genomes within it. My research group mostly focuses on Nitrospira, so I've managed downloading all genomes from NCBI (around 80genomes).
Now I would need to construct a reference tree, however I have no idea of the scope of the tree needed since I'm pretty new at bioinformatics. I was thinking I should download 1 representative genome per bacterial phyla/ class and merge all genomes to make a tree. I am not sure if this makes sense. Is there such a thing as 1 representative genome per phyla or I am trying to do something unreasonable?
Any suggestions for making reference tree are welcome..
Hope someone replies to this as I really start feeling overwhelmed by this assignment..

The human rubbed the toxic solvent all over it's grasping appendage, waving it's hands to let it evaporate. It then outstretched the appendage.
According to the diplomatic reports, this was supposed to be a friendly greeting, and Slack could see that, were it not a human performing the gesture.
After all Slack had experienced, the reports he had seen, the carnage he had witnessed directly, it wasn't friendly at all.
It was a threat.
Brazen and callus.
Slack glanced at the solvent dispenser, his cranial implant translating the text on the side: Isopropyl Alcohol, 70%
The human might as well have slathered its hands in molten steel. Slack hesitated for a few moments more, waiting for the solvent to evaporate completely, before extending a tentacle to grip the humans' outstretched appendage. It gripped his tentacle with a hard, rigid strength belying its hardy endoskeleton.
Slack almost shrieked in fear when he felt the smooth, seamless plastic coating on his tentacle slip as he went to withdraw his tentacle before the human had released it's grip.
Rough, microscopic ridges on it's appendages seemed to grant it an unusual grip, not unlike Slacks own suckers, though the humans ridges weren't prehensile.
It began to speak, but Slack couldn't focus on what was being said. He could only imagine the waves of microbes being carried into the surrounding chamber by it's breath.
He would have to have this room vaporized and reconstructed later. He used his cranial implant to silently mark the room for quarantine.
He knew he was hallucinating, but he could almost feel the microbes wriggling across his tentacle through the plastic coating where the human had gripped it. He could almost feel the virophages and spores impacting his face.
It was too much.

Commander Slack's dreams of fighting space battles against pirates and rescuing enormous females were dashed 180 cycles ago, when he was stationed on this backwater outpost. Barely an observations site, they were 40 LY, an entire day's travel, from the nearest Federation city.
The only thing he battled these days was boredom.
He was merely the political Attaché, and his rank was little more than symbolic, but he had imagined things differently. The station itself was so undermanned that he was required to fill many roles outside of his original mode of service. At one time, during the scheduled leave of the maintenance staff, he had even been

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Pilot on me!!
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
“BOOM”?!
