#AntimicrobialPeptides (AMPs) are a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics.

Diana Lin (@Di_Lyn) and a team at @BCCancer_GSC developed a #bioinformatics pipeline to identify AMPs in #RNAseq datasets from 75 amphibian and insect species. 🐸

Analysis of #scRNAseq requires constant, tedious, interaction with genomics databases. To facilitate querying from @ensembl et al., @NeuroLuebbert developed gget:

gget has many uses; a 🧵on the its amazing versatility: 1/

@ConcernedApe Any chance of an online implementation for distanced pandemic players? Such as https://t.co/Nb4LpKOlez (Monopoly Go) or https://t.co/Jjz8tDtHxp (Settlers of Catan)? Or maybe even Tabletop Simulator?

On January 24, we hit another milestone at the GSC—three petabases of sequencing data! What’s a petabase and how much is three of them? Check out this cool infographic by @MKrzywinski to find out!

@Dee_Gal7 I’m very tempted to get you a bagel guillotine now 🤗

Just installed Covid Alert app

and if you're in Canada, you should too. It's part of the toolkit - we have to figure out how to manage covid without the full distancing we had in March. This can be part of it.

You may have heard that BC has a new dashboard for #COVID19. Check it out and explore the data. Did we mention it is mobile friendly? 😊 You can access it through https://t.co/ARszDDqBub

Introducing 'dplyr-cli' - a method for manipulating CSV files in bash/shell/terminal using #dplyr

Ever wanted to run a quick filter on a CSV file in the terminal without switching to #RStats? 'dplyr-cli' is for you!

-BIOINFORMATICS PUB QUIZ-

Consisting of 14 questions. Answers to be posted tomorrow evening BST on this thread. No cheating! Write down your answers, get your family involved!

Please don't put answers in the thread, though general chat ("Wow CB, what a good question") is fine.

"There is hope for this horrible pandemic."

An international team led by #UBC researcher Dr. Josef Penninger has found a trial drug that blocks early stages of COVID-19 in engineered human tissues. https://t.co/EFOG8xeSQn

Dogs as #Hogwarts Houses: A thread

Ravenclaw: I’m a Border Collie and I can learn 1000 things per day. I love to learn, you'll find me in the library learning or outside applying my knowledge. I also get bored in 5 seconds if I’m not using my brain. I will eat drywall.
