Robert! 😂

Initiated in 2023 by Maria Nattestad and Been Kim, this project has been a collaborative effort. For over a year, Atilla and Yuchen dedicated 20% of their time to working with Been Kim , Andrew Carroll and myself on this project. It has been a fun exploration!

Here are 3 ways I made money on the side with #bioinformatics during my PhD: youtube.com/watch?v=Q64tr8…

Generated lovely figures with it for my PhD 💪 Great for vizualising fusion genes and translocations

Investigating structural variants? I just released a tutorial video showing how I do this quickly and intuitively using my tools Ribbon and SplitThreader: youtu.be/TP-H9epbsTM

Wow! Congrats PacBio! My PhD project with PacBio sequencing of a cancer cell line started only 10 years ago, and I've seen truly impressive improvements ever since: Longer reads, way lower costs, higher accuracy, and now it's not even the size of a fridge anymore!

Did you know that BLAST searches used to be done by email?! I went down quite the rabbit hole for this video: youtu.be/imXQDiIsyjA

How to make this circos plot in 1 minute using Circa 2.0 youtu.be/e_zjPY2vpaM

For anyone migrating to BlueSky, I'm over there too: bsky.app/profile/omgeno… These days I'm posting to both Twitter and BlueSky when we put out new bioinformatics videos, but the migration has rapidly sped up the last few weeks, which is nice :)

This was a fun one to make: We reviewed 10 CVs sent in by our audience, and here are the 7 common mistakes we kept seeing: youtu.be/qXPJpnrfX_4

🌲 New tutorial on sandbox.bio: Learn to build phylogenetic trees from closely related genomes using ska2. sandbox.bio/tutorials/ska2…

📢 Our first bioinformatics office hours were a lot of fun, so we will be hosting more of them this year! We will also invite special guests to co-host 👀 Join this Google Group to be notified when the next ones are: groups.google.com/a/omgenomics.c… (login with Google, then "Join Group")

In 2024, sandbox.bio had >170,000 tutorial page views! 🥳 The most popular tutorials were: 1. ​Terminal basics 2. ​Genomic intervals with bedtools 3. ​Terminal exercises 4. ​Data exploration with awk 5. ​DNA sequencing QC Check them out here: sandbox.bio/tutorials

We always tell people to create a portfolio to showcase their work. Today, we're releasing a template to get you started: github.com/omgenomics/por… It's for scientists and engineers who want a living resume of projects, work timelines, and blog posts that demonstrate expertise.
