Please help Shreya Ramachandran find a good microbiology textbook! She is leading exciting computational projects in our lab on ancient and modern human-associated microbes and would like to learn more about their biology.

Come join us Dept of Zoology @mel_rosina Gabriela Montejo-Kovacevich 🇪🇺 to work on Helicoverpa with Celso Omoto & Alberto Soares! If you speak Portuguese, are interested in spending time in São Paulo, linkage & association mapping, pesticide resistance, get in touch! jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/34326/

Got an RNA-seq dataset with 50, 100, 200+ samples? Plug it into a differential expression tool and hope for the best? No! You need to consider QC, EDA, and modeling technical variation, or else risk generating spurious results. A thread on papers, methods, and best practices:
