10 websites you didn't know you were missing (until now) :

A thread about using color as a design tool in science presentations. Color is a great tool to separate different categories of information, to highlight information, or to establish an emotional tone. 🧵1/20

I wrote a guide to common errors and mistakes I see beginning R students making in my data viz class. Stuff like "function not found" or "package was compiled with R version..." or "don't put numbers in quotes". Your students may find it handy too. nickch-k.github.io/DataCommSlides…

Yes! Oxford Nanopore PromethION version 22.05.7 has this included: -Metadata now included in Bam files (ie. model name and version) But it's better than that. It's in the fastq too basecall_model_version_id=[model] in each read. This is excellent progress for reproducibility!

Ever heard of logistic regression? Or Poisson regression? Both are generalized linear models (GLMs). They're versatile statistical models. And by now, they've probably been reframed as super hot #MachineLearning. You can brush up on their math with this 🧵. #rstats #Statistics

WEHI researchers have modified a panel of Plasmodium vivax serological markers to ensure less cross-reactivity in Plasmodium knowlesi patients to make a diagnostic test they developed to detect hidden P.vivax #malaria parasites more precise. Rhea Longley Cell Reports Medicine (1/3)

214million UniProt entries now have #AlphaFoldDB structures to view - that's almost every protein in the knowledgebase!! Explore new biology and see what you can learn - uniprot.org/uniprotkb/G3JR… shows the structure of a caterpillar fungal mannose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase

Many computer vision classes teach theory and algorithms 🙂 BUT they don't cover how to build an ML application end-to-end ☹️ I've put together a practical tutorial on how to build an image classifier, from datasets to deployment! Check it out: colab.research.google.com/drive/1b50WxRu…

Looking forward to the journey AlphaFold will take us

"many researchers are rushing to use machine learning without a comprehensive understanding of its techniques and their limitations." #notonlyabioinformatician #MLAL #mlops #buyerbeware #YMMV wired.com/story/machine-…

Our #github collection of #bioinformatics #training material has now >110 repos. All free to (re)use! My favorites? ‘Art from code’ by Danielle Navarro and ‘Analysis of single cell RNA-seq data’ by Martin Hemberg et al. Course missing? Write an issue or PR! bit.ly/3KdmEkb SIB

How do Plasmodium vivax parasites hide from the immune system? 🦠 That's what Paolo Bareng wants to find out, using data in the MalariaGEN Pv datasets. We caught up with him at ASTMH #TropMed22: malariagen.net/blog/how-do-pl…

How is 𝘗. 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘶𝘮 SO GOOD at evading host immunity? In our new preprint, we use ultra-long Oxford Nanopore reads to discover extra-chromosomal alleles of antigenic 𝘷𝘢𝘳 genes in clonal malaria parasites, Bernard Kim👑 Egan Lab Dmitri Petrov bit.ly/3Hy1nAD

When you post to bioRxiv you can now get professional help in polishing the manuscript. In your author account, select "Submit to author service", and choose Academic Language Experts (aclang.com). Another benefit we're happy to offer preprint authors.

Watch hundreds of years of yellowing varnish being removed from this Jacobean Panel Portrait of a Noblewoman painted in 1617 in England.

70 years ago, 3 papers appeared in nature under the title ‘Molecular structure of nucleic acids’. In an article in Nature today (link at end) Nathaniel Comfort and I shed new light on ‘what Watson and Crick really took from Rosalind Franklin’. This thread summarises our findings. 1/23

Welcome to session 1.3 of #MicroSeq2023. Currently speaking is our plenary @StevenJRobbins introduced by Ashley Dungan, followed by presentations by Samriddhi Thakur and Myo Thet Naung. This session is chaired by Asad Prodhan and Ben Vezina

The human gut #archaeome remains largely under-explored. Myo Thet Naung consistently identified three main archaeal phyla dominated by Methanobacteriota, and keen to understand the role of archaea in gut health and disease #MicroSeq2023
