📣 Super excited to announce this years #computationalbiology conference! Register below! We’ve got a great line up this year, 3rd and 4th of July save the date! @UofGARC

[Glasgow Computational Biology Community @glasgowcompbio]

One more sleep until the Glasgow Computational Biology Conference kicks off! Make sure you don’t forget your posters or get lost along the way, can’t wait to welcome you all tomorrow. Our doors open from 8.45am @UofGARC #gcbc22

@chrishoy This is brilliant @KirsteenT , Christmas came early.

[Sagi Shapira @ShapiraLab]

1/n Check out our latest work led by @gorkalasso where we scan Earth's virome for #virus encoded #mimics of host proteins.

The virus-host #evolutionary arms-race just got a little bit cooler...

@HarmitMalik this one's for you 😉

With @keyuan1 we've a data scientist/computational biologist & software engineer posts to work on #SARSCOV2 genome data, evolution & epidemiology with our Africa based collaborators @mlcotten13 @george_l @nokesdj & Martin Antonio: https://t.co/zEXin2zFbs. 26th Oct closing data!

[Grant Sanderson @3blue1brown]

I'm helping to teach a course at MIT this semester with Alan Edelman, David Sanders, and James Schloss (@LeiosOS) that intends to blend math and scientific computing

Anyone in the world is free to follow along.

10 new SARS-CoV-2 structures this week, 170 total.

Still time to enter the #CVbyCellPAINT contest--create an image of coronavirus and win a painting by @dsgoodsell

@samsam_13 @robertson_lab @sdrogers @PLOSCompBiol Thank you, and congratulations on your new job.

[Fran Young @FranYoung5]

Excited to share my first paper with @robertson_lab & @sdrogers. #MachineLearning to predict host information of #viruses. Investigating the predictive potential of features generated from different representations of virus genomes. @PlosCompBiol @CVRinfo https://t.co/Q3FXCYd3Qd

Yesterday 10 armed police and a helicopter were called to a house in Kent after reports of a big cat on the loose.

Full length SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with glycans running in MD shows vastly altered accessibility for small molecules and antibodies (aka #glycotime for the #COVID19 #demogorgon) @LCasalino88 (movie) @zied_gaieb @abbydommer @AmaroLab

Quick action saves lives. Fast, free, available testing saves lives. Open communication saves lives. Social distancing saves lives. Closing public places saves lives.

Act now. Save lives.

I wrote about the new coronavirus itself--where it came from, why it's behaving in the way it's behaving, how it infects and kills, and what the summer might bring. It's early days, of course, but this serves as a rough preliminary portrait of SARS-CoV-2. https://t.co/GL4wrlvN0r
